We’re busier than ever and have increased our workforce by 15, up to 128.

Not that it really matters, but interesting that Ladbrokes now have Labour as favourites for the next GE

Be interesting to see if the polls agree......

The ONS stats don't lie.

I recall you are in a specialist supply chain (heat pumps) which do buck the trends but their turnovers are reliant on political initiatives making them high risk (but high margin). I did some freelance work for a solar energy company 15 years ago who were booming but when the government subsidies and grants dried up by cutting the green crap they eventually went bust.

PS... I'm not bone idle or downright shit, I am freelancing again and quite enjoying myself but current restrictions from the Exchequer particularly stamp duties are stifling investment.

Quite an interesting series of events going on in politics now.

Farage hasn't used the sort of language that Restore has, and probably sensibly so.

Nevertheless, as things have got worse, I think more and more people are happy to consider something more extreme.

Advance have also said they would consider going in with Restore.

They will have to be very careful though, as the rhetoric will attract genuine knuckle draggers, which I doubt Lowe wants.

The far right is eating itself.

loollllll

I've just seen a poll that says 10% of people would vote 'Restore' if there was a GE today. 

Mentalists! 😂

Is Kent the one with that woman who went bonkers? 

Or the one that hiked up Council Tax? 😁

In celebration of his win Farage, writing on X, said: "We took this Labour government to court and won".

So you're admitting Farage is a liar

But Reform did take the government to court, the government decided to settle before the hearing

Who the hell are Advance and Restore? I have never heard of them, mind you I do try to keep away from politics because they are all shit

Is Restore a more extreme version of Reform or is there not much difference just the cunts leading them?

I'd like Jenrick to explain his financial associations with certain sanctioned Russian Oligarchs before going anywhere near the Treasury

Restore is Rupert Lowe and yes a more extreme version of Reform, they have very little chance of winning an election and their basic stance is too many immigrants we need mass deportations. 
 

Reform in trying to become a more realistic party to be elected have watered down some of their rhetoric which actually alienates some  of the more right wing Reform voters. Reform distance themselves from Tommy, Tommy supports Rupert Lowe. The problem for Reform is that the segment of people who would vote them is being eroded by there being a more extreme option. (Just another public school city boy -although went to Uni in Reading !) 

Reminds me of when Labour had Militant albeit within the party, They end up disrupting  your supporters rather adding any extra voters.

Tice and Yusuf have been made to look daft by not being able to explain cancelling the Equality Act and scrapping  minimum wage for young workers. Yusuf was asked which segments would no longer be protected, he had no answer. Tice was asked would young people on minimum wage get a wage cut, he just talked crap. 
 

You can see why the bookies are reconsidering the odds, but god knows how Labour are favourites.
