? How has last week’s sacking/defection played out with the public? Badenoch’s approval rating doesn’t appear to have taken a hit, in fact at -11 she reaches the highest since she first became leader and first time she has polled higher approval than Farage since then, though both are underwater.

What about how well it reflects on the two main actors? Lots of Brits take a neutral view but they are more likely (34%) to say it reflected well than badly (11 per cent) on Badenoch. 14% say the incident reflects well on Jenrick, while 37% say it reflects poorly on him.

What about voting for defectors? 70% of Conservative voters say that they wouldn’t vote for an MP who defected to Reform.But in a sign taking in Tories isn’t necessarily blunting their appeal: 72% of Reform voters say they’d be happy voting for someone if they were previously a Tory MP.

There’s plenty enough for both Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch to be happy but long term I think Nigel Farage will be the most happy.
