So let me get this straight. The centre right win the EU election. The centre left are in power in the UK, Germany, Spain. In Poland and Czechia, the centre right sent hard right governments packing. In France, the left and centre hold the line against the fash. Tell me again how Europe has fallen.

Morning, Bluesky. Labour’s first Cabinet meeting is underway with a Starmer press conference afterwards. One interesting factor for me is three experts who were given ministerial jobs: Covid star Sir Patrick Vallance as Science minister, James Timpson at Prisons and Richard Hermer attorney general.

When the bar has been set so low for so long, it’s almost giddying to have credible, experienced, serious people in cabinet and to be spoken to with respect and understanding. Clearly, that’s the least we deserve. Right now it feels transformational.

People are naturally focusing on Reform's large share of the vote. But the UK still has a progressive majority. If we had PR, the Tories plus Reform could not form a government; Labour plus Lib Dems plus Greens could.

The Tories don’t deserve to win a single seat, they don’t deserve the privilege of being the Official Opposition. Tomorrow is our best ever opportunity to change how our politics works but that only happens if people vote tactically in specific seats. We all deserve better.

I've written variations on this post over the years, not because I think it makes a difference but because it may make someone who reads it feel a little better. In Britain, your vote is private. That is absolutely as it should be. You are under no obligation whatsoever to tell anyone how you voted.

Tactical voting is not about Labour. That's so important, I'll say it again: tactical voting is not about Labour. They'll get a stonking majority with or without tactical voting. [...] No, tactical voting is all about trying to knock the Tories down to 3rd place, rather than 2nd. Quoted from here:
