➡️ 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

🚨Not about consultation itself, but linked. Most of this, if not all, can and will be passed via secondary legislation. That means no parliamentary scrutiny or vote. They know they are implementing this no matter how much the evidence already shows the detrimental impact of all these policies. 7/

🚨It isn't unusual for consultations like this, but the limiting factors on the few and far between free form answers doesn't give people the scope to actually explain their own experiences or the issues which would arise from these proposals. 6/

🚨The use of double negatives and switching framing is an old tactic in ensuring that you get the response you want from a consultation rather than the response people want to give, that's really prevalent here. 5/

🚨The supporting consultation document is riddled with errors, misinformation, and flat out lies, all wrapped up in some truly heinous and biased rhetoric. That seems to clearly be to generate a particular response from people who are not deeply aware of the issues in the existing system. 3/

I am currently, because I know how to enjoy a Saturday morning, writing some guidance for people on filling this consultation in. As I do several things are highly apparent. Before I go through them though I don't want this to put people off of filling it in. It is important to do so nonetheless. 1/
Government has today published its consultation into "earned settlement", the forward alone contains a hot mess of misrepresentation of the current system by the Home Secretary. I would strongly urge anyone affected by the current system to respond.

Well this story just keeps getting worse. Well done Labour, well done police.
"one of the women—Ayeshah Behit—was denied anti-seizure medication during her arrest and told that she wouldn’t be released if she kept asking for it. Anyone who knows anything about epilepsy knows how dangerous this is."

Palestine supporters have convictions for "harassing MP" overturned
In one of the UK’s more disturbing shifts towards authoritarianism, two supporters of Palestine were convicted in June of harassing an MP because they dared challenge her on Gaza.

Anyone know why Nigel Farage and his fellow MEPs voted against plans to tackle Russian propaganda?
Coincidently, it was around the time Nathan Gill was taking bribes from Russia.

Quite helpful to have one of Britain’s foremost fascist crackpots making this point, in a week where the national equality body put forth slapstick guidance on how the public must be policed in their use of toilets. Yes, it does look absolutely insane when it’s put like that, doesn’t it.
