These are polls asking who people would vote for tomorrow. They're usually pretty accurate. Maybe it's comforting to think that all those people would "really" unite behind a single party to keep Reform out, but there's no sign of that today. It's a wish, not the current situation.

Yes, they lie about it because they know it's incredibly unpopular. And then they refuse to do anything that'd actually solve it. That's what non-centrist parties look like. A centrist party would be panicking over their immense unpopularity and trying to actually stake out the center ground with real policy movement.

Your list of links is a good example of my point. In turn:

- Publishing a white paper.

- "Vowing to take tougher action".

- An announcement that didn't have any effect on the ground (there is no one-in-one-out happening in reality).

- A commitment to spend more money! This is at least a believable commitment from them. It's been tried many times before and doesn't work. They know this already.

- An announcement to look at something.

Announcements that they will study the possibility of taking action, one day, possibly, is what it looks like when a government likes a situation the voters don't. Here are some things you didn't include which show their actual position:

- Arguing before the court that the rights of migrants take precedence over the rights of native Brits.

- Saying "of course we do" when an interviewer asks a minister if they really believe that.
