"People tell lies during elections, and therefore I predict the next government will be a disappointment" is a strikingly original take. Tell me, when did it first occur to you?
This government is not "the centre-left", and given people like you have made hating the left your entire personality, you're not in a strong position to talk.
What really winds you up is everything I predicted came to pass and you can't dispute a word I wrote in my column. It must really sting!

Labour is standing on a precipice: if it breaks its election promise on tax, it will never be trusted again | Owen Jones
Ruling out tax rises in its 2024 manifesto was utterly reckless and will fan the flames of the far right, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.
He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

In the end, @lsrplaid.bsky.social was closer to the mark on high turnout than @willhaycardiff.bsky.social. It foiled RefUK bc the tactical consolidation behind Plaid was so decisive.

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat.
This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026
