  4. Fascinating poll for #Wales

    - 2nd place for #UKGeneralElection is now a 3-way fight between #PlaidCymru , Tories and Reform. #UKLabour lead.

    - #WelshLabour drop puts them just 4 points ahead of Plaid in #Senedd poll

  5. Much as I was relieved at the outcome of the #UKGeneralElection & the results make me slightly optimistic, I still find it depressing that the views I think would lead to a better world are still so niche: steady state rather than growth; treating billionaires as a social failure & people in need of mental health treatment; international relations based on cooperation & peace-seeking rather than competition & war-making.

  6. All of the #UKGeneralElection literature delivered to my house in #LewishamNorth constituency. Except for the #GreenParty leaflet & one #LabourParty flyer all were through the post

  7. In both 1997 and 2014 the Tories were left under similar circumstances. (1) The economy had stabilised after a period of high inflation and high interest rates. In both cases they had claimed to save the economy, having been the ones to have just ruined it. (2) Endless sleaze. (3) Infighting.

  8. The FPTP system means that if a far-right party gets 5 seats and a progressive Green party gets 4, then the former gets all the press coverage and the latter gets none. #UKGeneralElection

  9. And this 📊 shows the real changes between this and the last #UKGeneralElection in 2019 (h/t Gabriel Gatehouse):

  10. Charles Kennedy, former leader of the #LiberalDemocrats, died 9 years ago from complications of alcoholism. It’s hard not to think that the general election result, just weeks earlier, in which he lost his seat, and the party to which he had devoted his career was slashed from 57 to just 8 seats, might have had a role in precipitating it. So I wish that he could have been shown yesterday’s record-breaking total of 71 (or 72) seats. There’s a lesson there: never give up hope. #UKGeneralElection

  11. Normal Island News

    The greatest ever prime minister has lost her seat
    How did we let this happen?

    "You’re gonna have to bear with me because I’m a mess today. I’ve been up all night with my best friend Nadine Dorries and I might have had a few. Also, I’m livid because I tried to leave the country, but apparently, they don’t allow people in my “condition” onto aeroplanes. This day just keeps getting worse…"

  12. I am totally delighted to see that #truss and #rees-mogg have lost their seats. They are among the most useless and frankly mad politicians in the #uk . They were never sane enough to hold office.

  13. What better way to celebrate the defeat of the Brexit #conservative party in the #UK by sitting with a glass of #crement in hand while looking across to the #European Quarter in #Luxembourg.

    The #Conservatives have spent thirty years fighting themselves, fighting #Britain then lying, and putting their hands in the #covid contracts till, all while #Johnson held parties and said "let the bodies pile high". #Truss then took billions from people's #pensions.

  14. I know that I will never need to taste sweet heaven’s release because I have experienced the sheer high of watching Jacob Rees-Mogg’s public humiliation next to a man in a baked bean balaclava. 🤌

  15. Significant change is needed to ensure improvement to voter turn out. @BBC_News_Labs is reporting 60% voter turnout. The second lowest on record. The lowest was in 2001 with 59%. #UKPolitics #UKGeneralElection

  16. While I’m very happy that the tories are out of power with such a monumental defeat, I am baffled by how Labour *only* increased its vote share by 1.6% in the past 5 years.

    Clearly the split vote on the right seemed to have had a bigger role in these results than I would’ve expected…

  17. For example, the Labour party's number of seats and vote share over the last three general elections:

    Votes Vote Share MPs
    Labour
    2017 12,877,918 40.0% 262
    2019 10,292,354 32.2% 203
    2024p 9,712,011 33.8% 412

    #UKGeneralElection #britain

  18. So the UK electoral system delivers interesting relationships between the number of national parliament seats won (MPs) and either the number of votes or vote share.

    I couldn't find summary tables of these so I made one from available data:

    marky.info/voteShare24.html

    simple correlation this is not.

  19. Useful analysis from #FoE Friends of the Earth on how the #UKPolitics parties environmental policies stack up.

    Unsurprisingly the #GreenParty scores highest but I agree with the comment here that more detail on policies to tackle #GlobalHeating would be welcome

  20. What about Christians who go to Church on a Sunday? Are they only working 'part-time' or does the fact that Sunday is traditionally a Christian day of rest make it all right? Would it be fine for Starmer to go to church on Sunday? Of course it would. So this makes the attack on Starmer for following Jewish observance rather than Christian observances antisemitic.

  21. I think that the point is that Tories just don't care if they outrage portions of the Jewish population with these attacks on Starmer. If a Jewish lawyer does Shabbat are they a 'part-time lawyer'? Are Jewish political leaders only 'part time leaders' because they observe the Shabbat?

  22. The doubling down on the attack by the Tories set out in this article in the Jewish News is astonishing. They have been driven mad by the prospect of the loss of power and the loss of access to vast pools of money for themselves and their cronies.

  23. Farage:

    Does he hold a passport from any other country, like his wife and children?

    Is he still taking the pension from the EU as an ex-MEP?

  24. CW: UK General election postal voting

    brexit, voter photo id and now this? this must be the final tory insult to the country. "Voters in the UK and abroad have either not received their ballots or have been left with too little time to return them." from the Guardian:
