➡️ Reform lead by 16%, their largest ever advantage in an opinion poll.
This would give them 407 seats on the custom nowcast model, a majority of 164.

This gets worse for Sir Keir Starmer.
In a couple of years, second, third, fourth, and fifth will be swapping from poll to poll with all of them in the 13-18% range. This gives Green the three Manchester seats.
Your Party will focus on high profile/front bench seats.
That's what I think, anyway

as a black comedy, someone should write a version of WWI leadup that has social media. Don't bother about incongruity of fitting 21st century social media tech into early 1900s. Just imagine what it would have been like

Esther Ghey says daughter’s eating disorder and self-harm had been exacerbated by harmful online content
The mother of the murdered teenager Brianna Ghey has urged Keir Starmer to ban social media for under-16s, adding to growing pressure on the prime minister before a crunch vote on the issue on Wednesday.
Esther Ghey wrote to Starmer on Monday explaining in detail how she felt her daughter’s eating disorder and self-harm had been exacerbated by TikTok influencers with whom she had become obsessed. Continue reading...

i like how the main criticism of dylan mulvaney, asides from her being trans, is that she's a theatre kid and now they're criticising her for doing theatre. 🙄
A Bud Light-style boycott of a Broadway musical is not going to work. The demographic going to see Six the musical is going to show up more to see Dylan Mulvaney in response to transphobic hate, not less. Signed, someone who has seen Six on Broadway twice and has never drank a Bud Light

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢
This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID.

Sure, but I think the freakout is because the government primarily appears to be annoyed and pissy about *being criticised on social media*, and because their response to the crisis is the same “We’re very smart, not student politics wankers” stuff that has made their project such a roaring success.

Are they devising a strategy to deal with the collapse of the postwar order or are they coming up with new zingers that amount to “Doing nothing is the real change, actually” and “The leader of the Green Party is an annoying dick”.

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs.
The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.
Today that deal has been broken by the USA.
The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Your country is threatening to conquer the only majority indigenous state in the Americas, take your lumps lads.
I am not here for Europeans telling me Americans don't know how crazy things are. The Nazis are killing people over here at the moment so we're busy but thanks for the input. I had hoped for solidarity but I suppose I'll have to settle for sneering condescension instead.
