#UkPol #UnpopularOpinion For years, some of us said the key to long term political change was to elect a centrist, then force them to move left. Yesterday's by-election seems very much according to plan. Reform managed a measly 30% with a 50% turnout. That puts the racists on about 15% of the population. Sounds about normal to me. If I were Starmer, I'd be breathing a sigh of relief. I know I am.
