I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

Congratulations to the comedians performing content from the 70's in Riyadh!

Far-right white nationalists are massing in London on Saturday under the pretence of uniting the "Kingdom" + promoting free speech (by suppressing others) #FashFest

This is a huge push + decent humans need to be there to push back
Time to stand up to racism, UK
Let them know they don't speak for us

The responses in this survey are bonkers but my favourite has to be the 15% of Britons who have 'a negative view of immigrants coming to the UK to do jobs most Brits don't want to do'.
A recent YouGov poll found 45% support for admitting no new migrants and requiring large numbers to leave - but a deeper look suggests that most of this group don't actually want to remove those who make up the bulk of migrants to the UK 🧵/

Fine, FINE, bait taken: short-ish thread on crime, in response to the various "London has fallen" takes. 🧵

Is crime in London the worst in the country? No!

Cleveland (Middlesbrough/Hartlepool) records more crime and violent crime than London, as does West Yorkshire.

Stephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social is 100% correct here:

With votes split three - or even five - ways, First Past the Post elections become little more than a lottery.

We think that who runs the country should be up to the people, not up to luck. That's why we need PR.
