Electoral reform could kill the Labour Party (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s the announcement that may just kill off the Labour Party as we know it – a national commission on electoral reform. Andy Burnham told the Labour party conference that he would fight the next election on a pledge to change how the nation votes. In the past he has indicated a preference for proportional representation. He’s not the first Labour Party leader to make this promise (Blair’s 1997 manifesto pledge springs to mind), but, for now, let’s take him at his word. Unlike the Greens and the
Is the Conservative Party back? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reform has been on a downward slope for the best part of 2026. It’s primarily a consequence of new voters turning out against them, rather than the party shedding support in the millions. (Even though one-in-ten of their base now say they would vote Restore.) The enthusiasm for “Brand Farage” has barely moved in more than a decade.

Read excerpt
At Reform Party Conference this month, the only subject journalists wanted to talk about was the donor scandal.

Read excerpt
The Holborn & St Pancras by-election is Andy Burnham’s first real test as Prime Minister. After assuring the public that he would be staying on as an MP until the next general election, Keir Starmer has now decided that he will resign his seat to pursue other roles on the international stage. It won’t be easy for Labour to retain the seat. Holborn and St Pancras is a Camden constituency. Although London voters lean left, this is not quite Hackney or Islington. Since it was created in 1983, it ha
What would be a good result for Nigel Farage in Clacton? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nigel Farage is a canny political operator. There was a strategy behind his decision to resign the Clacton constituency and force a by-election. Reform’s vote share is on a downward trend in the opinion polls right now. Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain is taking roughly one in ten of its voters. There is a perception, for the first time in more than a year, that the Labour government is making more of the political weather than Reform. Farage needed something to rally his base. It does not, however
