Quick takeaways

  • The Conservative Party is facing a split in their vote due to supporters moving to Reform UK, which can be addressed by focusing on immigration and targeting international students.
  • The Labour Party is also experiencing a vote split with supporters moving to the Greens, but the potential threat of a new left party led by Jeremy Corbyn is unlikely as he has lost support and influential figures like Len McCluskey.
