  1. This is a very slow election count, I am starting to have some sympathy for Californians now :P

    ... And, a minute after I hit "Post":

    And as I typed that whine...

    ------------------------------------------------
    03.11 BST
    Burnham elected MP for Makerfield with majority of more than 9,000

    Here are the key results.

    Jake Austin, Liberal Democrats – 163

    Andy Burnham, Labour – 24,927

    Robert Kenyon, Reform UK – 15,696

    Rebecca Shepherd, Restore Britain – 3,111

    Sarah Wakefield, Green party – 308

    Michael Winstanley, Conservative Party – 997

    That means Burnham has won with a majority of 9,231
    ------------------------------------------------

    So hopefully, bye-bye Kier.

  7. There have been three UK referendums in my lifetime

    1975: Should the UK join the EU?

    2011: Should we fix our electoral system (a bit)?

    2016: Brexit

    Fixing the electoral system (a bit) was the only one rejected.

  15. 'Having voted for Brexit' and 'having just voted Reform' are the same thing. It is a tautology, not cause and effect.

    The only factors which matter are the state of being old and the state of having low educational achievement.

    They can't be 'unolded'. Is there some way they can be educated?

  19. So Reform are doing quite well in the council elections, but it's not exactly the landslide Farage was hoping for.

    I'm now seeing images like this shared on Facebook; because they think we're crying at this result.

    Well I have a few home truths.

    1. The people currently voting reform likely don't even understand these are COUNCIL elections and have virtually no beating on Westminster.

    2. We're not crying. Personally I was hoping for a Reform landslide because it will be a massive demonstration of the absolute incompetence of the buffoons who have stood for the council seats with absolutely no knowledge of how anything works.

    3. It will hopefully hurt those who voted for the Turquoise Turds personally and financially so they may learn a lesson that perhaps Nigel Farage and his cronies are worse than the Tories.

    So yes, you may think us lefties are crying; but no we're not. We're stocking up on microwave popcorn.

  24. CW: CW: disinformation alert / UK election framing

    🔍 Pre-Bunk Alert: "Reform UK gains = a mandate to roll back trans rights"

    The frame is built for tonight's news cycle. Council seats do not produce statutory mandates. The Equality Act 2010 protects nine groups, not one. Repeal requires Acts of Parliament — not a council seat in Sunderland.
