Reform UK gains support in areas with high child poverty

Analysis of polling data shows party competes directly with Labour in poorer heartlands

Support for Reform UK has surged in areas with higher rates of child poverty, underlining the rightwing populist party’s potential to connect with disillusioned voters in Labour’s heartlands.

A Financial Times analysis of election projections by pollster More in Common shows the vast majority of constituencies where Reform is expected to perform well have higher than average child poverty rates.

#language

While living in China I took many photos of signs, as I love how culture works through in language.
When trying to communicate in foreign languages, I’m far from perfect… but we don’t need to be.
I like to play a little with words, as sometimes another language conveys more what I feel.
Language is a means of communication with people around the world and that makes life so interesting. We have much more in common than that which divides us <3

Just back from the hand carwash. It’s really just about the only place left that brings us all together. It’s all there, all of contemporary British society, from the Bentleys (yes) to the beaten-ups (mine). All ages, White retired in the Prius, Black graphic designery lady in the primary colour Mini, Ali entrepreneur-type in the swasticar with the personal plate, families in SUVs, roofers getting the van spruced for the week ahead. The humble hand carwash possibly creates more unity and utility than most other institutions left in this country.

And y’know what? These places are mostly run by the same Eastern Europeans against whom the UK turned when it lost its collective mind and left the EU.

Thank you to our Eastern European friends for not leaving us and creating the one place where we still come together 🇪🇺

Picture shows a colour photo of a humble roadside hand carwash and petrol station. It’s not the most beautiful picture you’ll see on here TBF.
