The voters want to bin Farage
What I find interesting with this polling is that Nigel Farage 21 is below where Reform are polling. Only 15 want the investigation to cease, again below Reform’s voting intention score. Is Nigel Farage a drag on Reform? He seems to have made a huge blunder in not wargaming that his rivals wouldn’t stand in this vanity by-election. TSE

Firebrand Who Helped Build MAGA Sees 'Collapse Under Its Own Weight' Coming
A former MAGA firebrand who helped build the movement now says it's going to collapse under its own weight. Pedro Gonzalez, a writer and former New Right activist who broke with Trump, made the prediction in a Vox piece published Monday by journalist Zack Beauchamp. When your movement revolves around taboo-breaking and boundary-stepping, but then you decide there are some boundaries that are worth respecting, it's a joke, Gonzalez told Beauchamp. It's going to fail. It's going to collapse under its own weight. Gonzalez is among a growing number of conservatives who helped fuel MAGA's rise and are now alarmed by where it has gone. Axios reported in April that MAGA's most powerful media voices turned against Trump over the Iran war. Joe Rogan called it insane, based on what he ran on and said supporters feel betrayed. Trump cast Tucker Carlson out of the movement entirely. read more
