    • eh, its half true, lowers inhibition, but also makes people want to be in the limelight more, thus being more loud, provocative, etc.
      They will often say things they dont actually think or care about but think will get attention.
      Sometimes its more one or the other, or a mix of the two.

    • Yes! That was exactly what I was thinking when he said that.
      I don’t magically become racist or homophobic the moment I’ve had one too many shots, and I sure as hell hope those around me don’t either.

    • I don’t fully agree with this. Acceptable public discourse can change quickly and alcohol can make you forget yourself momentarily.

      If you’re brought up around bigoted attitudes, then not repeating those attitudes can take constant self-monitoring. Like, if you’re in your sixties and what we would now regard as casual homophobia was just an everyday part of conversation for most of your life, I can buy alcohol lowering your inhibitions enough that you forget that this isn’t considered OK by mainstream society anymore.

      But if you take no responsibility and blame the entire thing on alcohol, that’s a big red flag.

  1. Probably fairer to say Reform UK have “levelled-off”, not “declined”.

    Most polls still show them around 16-18%; there were two which had them on 21% — one for the Daily Express, and the other for GB News. And their highest-ever polling was 24%, which was done by that Matt Goodwin for… GB News!

    So I think all we’ve seen here is some outlier polls start to fall-away, and 16-18% being Reform’s true-range.

    • Poll sources:

      21% in a poll by Whitestone Insight, fieldwork conducted: 26-27 June. Client: _Mirror Group Newspapers_

      21% in a poll by PeoplePolling, fieldwork conducted: 25-26 June. Client: _GB News_

      24% in a poll by PeoplePolling, fieldwork conducted: 18 June. Client: _GB News_

    • UKIP were around 14% in 2015, you may be right there are a lot of people out there trying to cope with Brex1t being a total train wreck that’s even increased migration

    • And if we’re going to be fair here:

      Labour: 44-47% to 39-42% (from after the GE was called, to the most-recent polls)
      Tories: 27-28% to 19-24%
      Lib Dems: 9-10% to 10-13%
      Greens: virtually no change

      SNP: declined significantly (since late 2021); from high 40%s and low 50%s, to 30-34% now. Labour in Scotland is averaging around 35% recently

  2. A bit of a silly title; Reform has dropped 1-3% in polls that barely even prompt us, and this is a “decline” but Labour has fallen from 42%+ down to around 35% and you’re sleeping!

    • Precisely I haven’t seen a single person pointing this out that like a 7 to 11% decline since March.
      The only few parties I seen rise is Reform and the Lib Dems.

    • I.e- Crystal Palace dropped from 13th to 15th ,and Man City dropped points but are still 18 points ahead with 4 games to go.

      = Ye : “People are sleeping on Palace!”.

    • a quick look in the charts will tell anyone (who has a brain) that this is a typical volatility… The charts aren’t smooth, they are jagged. (I mean, it’s a whole different question what kind of idiot can’t make up their mind and is chaning their opinion every day but whatever…)

    • No, in the days immediately before the Brexit ref the polls were showing that the Leave side looked like winning. Opinion shifted during the campaign and polls accurately reflected that.

    • ​@@carelgoodheir692 What are you talking about, i remember reading about polls the day before the referendum saying Remain was gonna win by a landslide victory, don’t try to rewrite history 😂

    • @@carelgoodheir692 YouGov had remain winning 52-48. Populus had remain wining 55-45. Ipsos MORI had remain winning 49-46. And the pound hit $1.50 on results night as traders expected a status quo victory after the results of that on-the-day online poll were announced by YouGov as the polls closed.

      The panic started getting underway after the Newcastle and Sunderland results, as frantic traders realised they were exposed to a hell of unexpected risk.

  3. Reform is not tanking. People who have decided to vote Reform will vote Reform. Polls are estimates on public opinion. A colossal proportion of the UK are voting reform regardless of what some polls say. In fact, some of the people making these statements should be out of a job in a few days.

    • Yeah it’s very accurate and well researched. They clearly have very comprehensive knowledge. Faragites will hear a description of an objective reality and dislike a video en masse when it hurts their feelings.
