Robert Jenrick, as someone who has, for many years, been getting money from the state for no discernible return, should be the first claimant to be subject to Reform UK’s high street cleaning policy.

The No.10 North argument should be put to bed by finding the geographical centre of the four capital cities of the UK - which, by this web app, is Upton in Wirral! So, if anything, Burnham has gone around 9km too far north, by choosing Manchester. triangulate.streamlit.app

Setting the scene today for Lord Lord? I think it’s a pretty safe bet that Sacha Lord will get a peerage from Prime Minister Burnham. Of course, he won’t be allowed to be Lord “Lord” - perhaps Lord Altrincham?

This chart tells a story other than its main polling questions. The don't knows are 12%. A mere ~2% was the difference between Remaining and Leaving the EU on this day 10 years ago. You could argue the 'don't knows' should include the 'could've worked' responses, because, how could they know?

The unions could end up ruining things for Labour. The party has the opportunity - if they can somehow play this right, against a backdrop of dreadful political communications so far - to amplify Burnham’s wave of popularity and suppress the far right as it fight amongst itself.
