Johnny Mercer is going to be in trouble in the General Election

Cons only just beating Reform!

The general election now will be as last as possible

Looks like Hartlepool isn‘t grateful for all the food banks any more.

Dreadful 32.5% turnout in Blackpool South by election. Conservative vote unsurprisingly collapses. Labour vote down by 1700. Lib Dem vote down by 600. Reform vote up by 1000 if compared to Brexit Party. Apathy wins again.

No Labour won, the Tories would have been spanked whatever the turnout.

The behaviour of Scott Benton is reminder that cleaning up politics need to be a high priority, enough of the corruption and cronyism while ordinary folk suffer.

Scott Benton is an arse but the stats do not lie - 2/3 of the electorate were so enthused by the election and desperate to clean up politics that they stayed at home.

Scott Benton was proved to be corrupt not an arse.

Lee Anderson on Radio 4, "I didn't detect from one party to another, I was an independent MP", LOL...

By-election turn outs get ever lower. Making it harder to predict the GE with accuracy, in terms of how many seats will Labour gain.

Sussex PCC count is Sunday.

I won't be able to sleep until that result comes in. Lol.

Was watching, I rather miss Huw Edwards.... Kuenssberg is fine and knowledgeable but she doesn't have that kindly aunt/uncle feel about her that the likes of Edwards and Dimbleby had

A source within Downing Street has just fed me a huge whopping lie, which I am going to repeat unqualified. I am obviously not going to declare my source, otherwise they will just pass on the next huge lie to another "respectable journalist". You mean knowledgeable in that kind of a way?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

The up all night was excruciatingly dull.

Do we have a councillor or MP on here these days?

I’m a Parish Councillor - although in our village there are seldom enough candidates to actually require an election!

 

[Machiavelli]

It's just like the last 10 minutes of our EL home time against Marseille. Compelling.

Have the obnoxious Reform Party actually won any council seats yet?
