Most interesting thing for me: a majority of Lib Dems back the sentiment, and almost half take no issue with the language. Supports @jamesbreckwoldt.bsky.social's research emphasising how poorly understood Lib Dem voters are. Not nec. true that Labour losses there are disaffected social liberals.

Agree with sentiment: 53%
Disagree with sentiment: 27%
Language okay: 50%
Language not okay: 30%
