Even in Labour vs Reform contests, where the nature of swing means Labour to Reform defections count double, the electoral strength/cost of losses to LDs and Grns is now ~66% higher than that of losses to Reform.

This is why it's quite easy to take advantage on political betting exhanges. They usually correlate with the cuurent polling probability, so if you're able to make a predictive calculation like Trump's impact in Canada, or in the UK buy Labour during the vaccine bounce, you're laughing!

Probably quite a few but would just impact the wrong people. You'd think Americans who want to live/work/holiday in Canada are welcomed still.

It was a Christmas #1 tbf. I'm in the don't know camp. Clearly wasn't written as a Christmas song but then the record company added the bells and marketed it as one. Where does that leave it! 🤷

But they are more split on whether Stay Another Day by East 17 is a Christmas song, a third think it is, a third say it's not and another third don't know!
