New polling for PropserUK (the new centre Right group) suggest the Tories have actually lost more votes to the left of the party than to Reform - around 1.3 voters moving 'left' to each voter shifting to ReformUK Ltd.

Left here is relative rather than absolute but once agains suggests ReformUK Ltd may not be as popular among wavering voters as the media seems to think... and of course then the Labour Party's focus on those looking to Reform may be misplaced?

Q. who's been funding Reform UK Ltd for the last six years?

A. 81% of their money (£29mn+) has come from existing & past Tory donors; 11% (just under £4mn) from the Reform leadership itself; leaving only a paltry 8% of their funding coming from other sources (just under £3mn).

So just to be clear its Tory & ex-Tory funders supporting Nigel Farage's company masquerading as a political party... so not quite so anti-establishment then, eh, Nigel?
