https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gy72kmg1mo Sir Keir congratulated Burnham and claimed recent by-election results suggest the "tide is turning on Reform", telling broadcasters: "They've reached probably the peak of their support, it's going down." More Starmer lies. Reform got a higher...

Reform got an increase in vote share from the last election, despite the appearance of Restore. They did well.

Do you really think that this is a great comeback for Labour? It was a freak event, created by the bizarre situation where voting for the ruling party will remove the hated current PM.

Were there any Makerfield opinion polls? I didn't see any, and wouldn't expect any in a one-off by-election.

Wasn't that while Sir Kier was having his curry and beer party that we've all had deleted from our minds?

No need, there will be a re-vote in 3 years after we all get to see how he does. I'm betting on substantially less than 55%.

I don't think I saw any actual polling for Makerfield. Just on-street discussions with random people. The bookies all seemed to agree that Burnham would win, easily. So I'm not sure if anything was amiss.

Utter rubbish. You don't understand the basic concept. A 1 year trend of a 5 year bond is valid, as is a 10 year trend of a 2 year bond. Or any other random combination. I picked the trend of the 10-year bond over the last 5 years as it includes the Truss spike plus gives good detail for...

Perhaps they wanted to motivate the lefites to get out and vote. It was a very weird election though. Many who voted Burnham hate the Labour party, bizarrely they were voting Labour to get rid of the current Labour PM (Starmer). So this may explain the difference between the feelings of those...

And this.

Very poor taste.

I don't think Reform will need a coalition. The Tory voters in Makerfield all switched to Reform. The May elections proved that Reform are now more credible than the Tories. A vote for Tory is now seen as a wasted vote.

Illegal immigration being OK is definitely a left-wing view. The tories became a left-wing party when Cameron took over, which created the void for Farage to jump into. Some on here bang on about Reform being just a Tory party, like that's a bad thing. The country's desparate to get the old...

Aye, the EU pretty much kicked us out. We asked for reasonable changes, they said go away.

Medication time, there there, it will all be alright.

Ever-increasing taxes are needed by hated governments to pay those who leech off the state to keep voting for them.

Cameron thought the outcome of the referendum was going to be remain, we'd all fall into line and shut up, as would the Leave faction of his party. He rolled the dice and lost. Mostly because he went to the EU and asked for concessions that they wouldn't give. So the EU ensured we left in the...

Not lateral thinking, just not thinking of any kind. Brexit Obsessive Disorder.

It's a distraction to blame the driver or even the braking system. If the train is on the single-line track that another is approaching on then the signalling system should tell them to stop. There will always be times when the brakes don't work, the system should be designed to deal with this...

Strange that these "world events" always cause economic catastrophe under Labour governments. I didn't crop anything, it was a 5-year chart, as stated. Oh, I see, you think that a graph of a "10 year bond yield" should always be over a 10-year period. Oh dear, you really don't understand what...
