Elon Musk is uniquely popular among AfD voters in Germany and Reform UK voters in the UK - although few in either party think he has much influence in their national politics

Elon Musk's recent interventions in the UK and Germany have gone down poorly in both countries

- 69-73% say Musk trying to influence national politics is unacceptable
- 63% say Musk knows little to nothing about issues in their country
- Musk net favourability: -52/-53

Badenoch saying it was a mistake not to have a growth plan for Brexit highlights that she doesn't understand what happened.

There was no growth plan that all parts of the Leave coalition could have agreed on.

Winning required implying different outcomes to different people.

Let the joy of exiled Syrians show you that fleeing tyranny is never a choice people make lightly.

No one gets onto one of those boats & leaves their home unless their home has become the mouth of a shark.

No one chooses exile.

No one risks it all if they could have stayed.
