One additional thought though on the splintering problem that Reform may now face on its Right flank. Because the BBCetc almost never credits @Nigel_Farage for policing the populist Right more carefully than any other populist leader in Europe and much more thoroughly than Jeremy Corbyn ever policed the British Left or Zack Polanski vets the Greens, Nigel needs to find ways of dramatising his biggest personnel calls. There are nearly as many uncompromising purists on the Right as the Left. The types who see betrayal around every corner and prefer the comfort of opposition to the compromises required in government. They are beyond Nigel's reach but there are many more mainstream voters - especially women - who will vote Reform if they see us fighting the good fight against the likes of Tommy Robinson, the increasingly troubled Elon Musk and the many anti-Semites that are spreading poisonously across the American Right and will surely surface more and more here. Millions love Reform's policies but need reassurance about Reform's "people". Proving that Reform live by Martin Luther King's desire that every person should be judged by the content of their character rather than the colour of skin must be a top priority as candidate selections gathers pace.

@Victoria_Spratt This is what the NIMBY vs YIMBY discourse misses out, trading nuance for perfect solutions which don't stand up to public experience.

[Vicky Spratt @Victoria_Spratt]

A tweet by a prominent “YIMBY” argues against having social housing in some London boroughs because the homes could be lived in by more “economically productive” people…

FYI 41 per cent of lead tenants in social housing are in work

Others are carers or retired (and there are some who are out of work)

It is not correct to say social housing tenants are economically unproductive - many do vital jobs which the Capital couldn’t function without

@Maz_Moreau Happy birthday Maz, hope you have a lovely day x

[Daniel Reast @DanReast]

Lots of landlords and property companies suddenly perking up to complain about the Renters Rights Act as if this reform hasn't been coming since 2019?

Also quite something to see YIMBY types cross about more first-time buyer style homes coming on the market...

[Daniel Reast @DanReast]

@SectorAnalytics So happy for you all, congratulations and wishing you health and happiness x

Sex education should probably involve honest conversation about pornography and dildos, as much as it should involve STIs, hormone disorders and the menopause.

This third-wave, stiff-collar, 'not in front of the children' mindset isn't working anymore.
