"There are currently two broad schools of thought around Reform. The first one is summed up by Dominic Cummings, who this week emerged to give a full interview explaining that he had absolutely no desire to return to politics, while observing that Farage will be prime minister if he builds the right team around him."

It is because of flawless assassination sentences such as these that we love and adore Marina Hyde.

The piece is only marginally about Mr Cummings, mainly about how the Reform party may just about manage to grab the majority vote of the UK's frustrated population, despite the party's manifest incompetence. Highly readable (as is everything by Marina Hyde).

The big story in the #wellingborough and #kingswood #bielection results isn't the #Labour victory, or the #tory loses, or even the #reformpartyuk . It's that the #liberaldemocrat party was nowhere. I have written to the party and to #eddaveymp suggesting that they will be humiliated in the #GeneralElection unless they propose a new poll on the #EU . We need one party that will allow us to express our opinion on how #brexit is "progressing". I suggest you do the same.
