Still impressive that a political figure who's never been the head of state can quit his party, run as an independent, and still poll second behind the party he left. Both for him and for the system, really. Imagine that happening in the US literally ever.

Guess it shows that people just automatically vote by the party logo on the ballot, not the name next to it?

Apparently Corbyn for all his many faults is meant to be a good constituency MP (as in, he lives in the constituency, actually turns up and listens to locals) so I’m surprised that he’s failing in the polls. Maybe his recent apologism for the Russian invasion of Ukraine is offputting to his constituents?

LOL, Frogface Farage is going in a strop and won’t appear on BBC television because they didn’t give him preferential enough treatment for his tastes. Someone who owes his entire career to the BBC’s politics department giving his fringe party more coverage than by rights they ever deserved.
