Party officials know this, but they’re as bullish in private as they are in public. Within the still-emerging apparatus of the party machinery, there are people focused on drafting legislation and even remodelling the layout of Downing Street. Starmer assumed that civil servants would divine his will, before discovering that our bureaucracy could suffocate what few ideas he actually had. Reform officials, meanwhile, are under no illusions about the capability of the state and they have additional concerns about the willingness of sections of it to support their agenda. But before battling with recalcitrant civil servants they’ll have to win over millions of voters whose attention will turn to the detail the closer we get to an election. Farage’s team know this, too, and while they’re in no hurry to publish a detailed manifesto they do understand the need to paint some broad brush strokes on the canvas of ideas. \n\nThe City is particularly thirsty for information. Reform’s challenge is to ensure that as the full picture emerges, it’s more realism than abstract.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.12","shortVersion":"4.35.12","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2591575603","isCrawlerRequest":true}
