Reform UK are campaigning hard to turn anger, attention and visibility into local power. They are testing where they can break through, build momentum and go unchallenged. But their success isn’t inevitable.

Our conclusion was simple: Goodwin isn’t a fanatic. He’s more dangerous than that. He’ll say whatever he thinks will resonate with whatever audience he wants to rile up, if it gets him more views and paying Substack subscribers.
