This is why mooting 'ditching net-zero' as the solution to Labour's woes is so silly. It's a policy that is popular with their core voters, critical to progressive voters they need to woo back, and Reform voters are sceptical but it's way down their priority list.

You can't and won't stop reform by pandering to their voters.

They say deport a million, and you do, they they'll say you did it wrong, or it wasn't enough.

you MUST improve the lives of the poorest and those who feel poor. Then you must make sure they know that you did.

Ok well sure the election results tell us that change isn't happening fast enough. But they also tell us that you cannot focus on being "tough on immigration" when there is a party who will always be "tougher". You push voters right into their hands.

Don't tell anyone, because the media certainly won't, but the Lib Dems just overtook the Conservatives.

Another way of looking at that deadly pincer movement facing the Conservatives - look at how they get squashed between Reform and the Lib Dems in Devon on this chart.

Here is a radical suggestion.Perhaps party strategists all over the UK should step back from their focus groups for two minutes and think less about how to campaign, and more why they want to win. What is your plan for the country? Make up your mind, then try to sell it.
Old-fashioned, I know.

Later this month, Canada will have the privilege of welcoming Their Majesties The King and Queen to Canada — where His Majesty King Charles III will deliver Canada’s speech from the throne.

This historic honour matches the weight of our times.

It defeats my understanding how people my age, (in my 70s), whose parents fought fascism in the second WW can be so stupid as to vote for Reform

Top tip for politicians: try standing up for the principles and vision of the future you actually believe in, forming policies based on that, and then convincing the public to vote for those principles, vision and policies.

FYI

Chlorine in water: 0.2-1.0mg/litre
Chlorine in swimming pools (incl. in the water) 1-3mg/litre
Chlorine in pathogen-reducing #ChlorineWash: 50mg/litre

Issue = SCALE + the wash disguises rather than kills salmonella, campylobacter & E.coli + low animal welfare

Foodborne illness in US = 10x UK!
