  • “Reform thinks you should keep more of what you earn. The Uniparty doesn't. This is our pledge to you.”
  • “This is Richard Tice's pledge to the British people.”
  • “Labour will cut your pension. We will protect your pension and end welfare for migrants.”
  • “Andy Burnham will cut your pension. We will protect your pension and end welfare for migrants.”
Method

Pledge cards headed "This is Robert Jenrick's pledge to the British people" and the same for Richard Tice were the top ads by reach, each over a million impressions. They put named senior figures, rather than the leader alone, in front of voters. The ad count is inflated by many variants of the same few creatives.

What changed

What this week tells us

  • Reform peaked at about 2,500 ads in a single week, nearly 100 times as many as the Conservative page.
  • Labour's "new path" line started here. It was still the party's main message in November.
  • The SNP's right-to-decide declaration video started on 28 September and ran into November.
