But I think there's a question on immigration, other areas and how she matches Farage. And moving all the way to reform means you also will lose some votes the other way. So all Tory leaders try and find this almost third way. But I think, you know, even looking around that shadow cabinet table, it is quite one nation in some ways.

That is not, to me, a shadow cabinet team that's going to want to go all the way to reform on their policy positions. And actually, she's going to be trying to create a space for the Conservatives and seeing if that works or not.

I think it's hard to know how substantial or how many voters there are like that, if that makes sense, because obviously Reform had loads of problems with vetting candidates and those comments and then also their own suspensions on it. And I think that probably the counter to that is she did win the Tory membership vote pretty confidently.

It was probably around the same as Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. If the membership had such an issue on that, would it have been closer? Would she not made it? If that makes sense. So these things can be factors. I think the question is, is it something which is a substantial thing that's going to impact votes? Perhaps Reform Party will pick up some votes.

But it's not something where I think we have enough evidence yet.

Well, I think on the Donald Trump one, it's hard to know because obviously as a country, British voters are much more hostile to Donald Trump than American voters, as we've just seen in the election, but also just on polling. And the Conservative Party, you know, the Labour are a sister party to the Democrats.

But in the Tory party, there are plenty of Tories who said they would vote Democrat if they could and were backing Kamala Harris. And I think that's also reflected in some Tory members and Tory voters. So it's not a clear cut. All the Tories like Donald Trump is definitely more nuanced. And therefore, Nigel Farage could pick up some votes.

But if Donald Trump does some things that, you know, lead to a real backlash, whether it is a trade war, whether it's foreign policy decisions that have huge effects, such as Ukraine, for example, that's something where support for Ukraine and Britain is very strong, more so than lots of European countries.

if it looks as though Donald Trump sold Ukraine down the river and then you have Nigel Farage close to Trump. So I think, yes, you can look influential, but I don't think it's a clear net win, you know, at this point.
