Coffee House Shots: mums for Reform?

Duration: 14:20

Britain’s mums are backing Nigel Farage. One in five Mumsnet users intend to vote for Reform at the next general election, the first time a party other than Labour has topped its poll. Having been more negative towards Farage and the right in the past, why are its politically engaged users changing their minds? Are they swayed by issues like single-sex spaces, or does it reflect a wider collapse of confidence in the establishment?

James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Sonia Sodha.

Produced by Megan McElroy.
