Awful Nicky Campbells show focusing on failure of Polanski, and decline of the Greens at Holburn after their awful *checks notes* 22% increase in vote share since 2024. Ignores the fall in share of Tories and Reform.

This was the projection; it was 6 points too low for Labour, 3 points too low for Greens, 6 points too high for RUK, accurate for Tories, 3 points too high for LDs, 1 point too high for the fascist party.

Think Burnham was always going to get enough benefit of the doubt from left of centre voters in Holborn and St Pancras to win, but the Greens carrying on that age old left tradition of needlessly getting into a scrap with themselves aided Labour. It should certainly have been closer.

Zack Polanski & the Greens have had a bad week. This is a measure of their success that they are now judged by higher standards than before. The Greens matter electorally & their enemies have noticed. Polanski should have won Holborn & St Pancras; but it did take Farage EIGHT occasions.

Badenoch is opposed to Net Zero, wants to leave the Court of Human Rights and to legalise anti-trans bigotry. If you actually quite like her, you apparently think these don't matter. This isn't fucking reality TV.

This is absolutely correct. It went exceptionally well for the Lib Dems and really helped counter the nut job ideology of the Tories at the time. No credibility damage either. Note to Farage too - you can only shape political discourse while in power. Excellent point.

The likely reaction of the UK press to the Holborn & St Pancras by-election: A Green win = A terrifying victory for the woke Islamoleftist, antisemitic insurgency. Polanski is Turbo Corbyn. A Labour win = A return to flaccid centrism & the Monoparty consensus. Polanski is finished.

Wait wait wait -- so all this "We're only helping out with defensive activity" was pure, unadulterated fiction by the UK government. Lying Burnham made us a target, and if the allegations against the 'terrorists' are true, Iran did to us exactly as they said they would.

Left: The Tories claim they’ll save taxpayers nearly £1bn a year by cutting student loans to “foreign students”. Right: Most international students on Student visas don’t qualify for UK student finance in the first place. So where exactly are these £1bn “savings” coming from?

Abolishing inheritance tax is pandering to the ultra rich, even in death they don’t want to pay their share for the infrastructure that sustains the world they sucked dry, they want to bury it in their coffers forever. Not just greedy, they are pathological. Badenoch is one of them. #KemiBadenocb

1. Tonight at Gillette Stadium, Zach Bryan, one of the biggest country music artists in the world, wore a Free Palestine shirt onstage. Gillette Stadium is owned by Robert Kraft, who pushed Ed Sheeran and his promoter to drop Macklemore from his tour. Bryan isn’t just a major country artist.
