It is. Definitely no easy answers. Probably have to go into each constituency to see who took seats off each other. That takes a long time, maybe someone will do a table in the coming days. 😅

I think that’s mostly true. Reform took seats off labour early in the night though. LD and GRN hadn’t picked up many at that stage, but Reform had nabbed some LP and the Runcorn ByE. So they are squeezing them along with the a bigger one from the others.

Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked…

@williamcrawley.bsky.social good conversation on Garron today, glad I listened. He freely expressed his view and others have freely disagreed. If you have a feeling that something is wrong, get your ducks in order before you present them to a large audience. Facts don't care about feelings. 🤷♂️

Any school based mobile phone bans are welcome but won’t solve the problem of the toxic manosphere alone. Better mental health service engagement (money in short!) and regulation with teeth over SM content are drastically required too as well as other socio economic measures that will also cost £

It needs to be massive Edwin and there's simply too many who still believe all the conspiracies and crazy online theories. The majority of the press are still trying not to talk about it. They'll focus on Starmer's U-Turn / Lies etc, it'll be an excuse for more political campaigning.

I’d love it to happen, but can’t see how it works. Too many still willing to vote for Farage et al. and the Tory’s. EU would see it as a merry-go-round that could be undone in five years by the next set of wing nuts in, wasted €. Gotta wait for more to change their minds first so it’s lower risk.
