Reform's pro-family policy lasted as long as the focus group's coffee

Farage concedes the pro-family pitch was a mistake and the Spectator asks if Reform will try it again. The answer is in the question.

Farage admits he made a mistake pursuing pro-family policy and the Spectator wants to know if Reform's brave enough to try again. Mate, a party that ditches a position the moment the focus group sneezes isn't brave enough to order the second round. Thatcher had convictions you could hate. Reform has a weather vane with a rosette on it.
