Lee Anderson has bizarrely hailed a poll that show Labour hitting their highest level of support in years, claiming it is proof Reform are “not going away.”
By now, everyone knows the trend in the polls. For months, Labour have been on the rise under Andy Burnham’s leadership whilst Reform’s polling numbers have slumped as the party and Nigel Farage are dogged by scandal and controversy.
Whereas this time last year you’d have heard Reform figures shouting from the rooftops about their polling, they’ve now gone quiet as poll after poll shows Labour opening up a clear lead at the top – and some even show Reform slipping into third place.
But it seems that Labour-turned-Tory-turned-Reform politician Lee Anderson is going for a new tactic of simply ignoring Labour’s success.
