Dan Hodges’ column argues that Nigel Farage’s recent electoral win over “Count Binface” does not, in his view, represent a change in the wider Westminster consensus. He reports that many commentators see the result as having “changed nothing,” but he says it will still have one major impact.
Hodges also frames the outcome within broader political and economic expectations. He suggests that Reform has “peaked” and that any early period of improved standing for Labour will not last. In addition, he links the outlook to a wider assessment of Donald Trump’s actions or policies, arguing that “Trump’s war” is set to damage the economy.
