Farage always, but always, talks up the disaster for other people. "Labour will be in trouble very, very quickly" - compare to his MEP rhetoric where Brexit was going to usher in all sorts of other exits across Europe....very, very, quickly. Farage lives for other peoples disasters. Everything is worse, more chaotic, more unstable and he paints himself without necesaarily saying as the answer. Yet he offers no practical policies. Its all pie in the sky. But people want flying pie, it seems.

Though I will agree with you, if this focus continues indefinitely as Stamer selects cabinet & begins introducing policies, then that would be ridiculous

It's not immigration that Labour have to focus on. Farage has used immigration as the scapegoat for the housing, local services, and NHS problems. If people feel those problems are being dealt with immigration will fade as an issue. As for the Tories, the smart move is not to go for the leadership, it's a poison chalice. Let someone else lead the chaos, and go for the leadership next time once everyone is exhausted by the chaos.

The biggest mistake Sunak made during the election was focusing on Labour, and not Reform. Looking through most of the results, it is clear that if Sunak had focused most of his effort on Reform, Labour would have lost so many seats given their low polling share. It does leave Starmer with a big problem, as with Reform in 2nd place in such a large number of seats means that if he fails to turn the ship around in 4 and a half years, Reform will expand and be fully battle ready for the next GE.
