I also think it’s wrong to dismiss Muslim voters as just motivated solely by single issues as well as agency denying . As I said on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social last night voters we spoke to shred affordability and cost of living in common as reasons to turning to the Greens.

Labour have alienated the voters they had on the left, and failed to win over any of the voters they have courted on the right. Now their core appeal is all but gone and ever growing numbers of voters have exit options on the left, right and in the centre. Welcome to the Valley of Electoral Death.

Maybe broadcasters could take a breath, and think about checking their discourse against the common sense check. This is v obvious if take 60 seconds to think about ethnic minority voters not being monoliths (Pensioners, students, white working-class can all get narrativised as monolithic blocs)

The secrecy of the ballot matters Those on X with racalised and radicalised view using anecdotes about family voting do not mean that they want Asian women's autonomy to express their own vote; they mean they don't want Asians to be voters, and need mass deportations bsky.app/profile/did:...

Almost all of the discussion on X is based on the Reductio Ad Absurdum idea of monolithic ethnic minority bloc voting, based on real-time radicalisation and racialisation, underpinned by stoking the 32 examples reported about "family voting" into a weird incoherent explanation of a stolen election

Say the quiet part out loud about “family voting” & “South Asian-type election practices”. These assume Brown men are telling their wives how to vote & that Muslims, by nature, violate democratic norms. Trope of Muslim women being oppressed and unable to participate fully in democracy is tiresome

Gorton and Denton first thoughts - incredible result for the Greens who won the long battle to be the best placed anti-Reform candidate - helped by being the obvious anti-Labour candidate for disappointed progressives. As I noted in the Observer last month, a Revolt on the Left is growing

One casualty of the racialisation of class: people fail to recognise that most Bangladeshi and Pakistani people in Britain are working class That they have the highest rates of poverty And that historically economic and related factors have been the key driver of their voting behavior
