I am walking to This Is The Day by greebo rock band Pop Will Eat Itself, in order to pretend I have the energy of a teenager at Brixton Academy.

It's his job. He's the Prime Minister. It's not a title that you attach a surname to. Idk, like you wouldn't say Head Accountant Smith, but Mr Smith the Head Accountant?

you know what, I'm giving up the pretence of work. Going to pack for the walk and meander down to the unexpectedly Lib Dem Cotswolds.

Yes. I suggest you join the Electoral Reform Society, who've been lobbying for change for a long time.

TBH I think Starmer should at least do another referendum. It's not an equitable result and while I am all for as few far right nut jobs in Parliament as possible, there's going to be masses of semi-legitimate grievance.

FWIW I am a strong supporter of electoral reform, and I think FPTP is terrible. But we literally had a referendum on it, and I believe those are eternally binding and we all have to suck up whatever unliked consequences they produce, *Nigel*.

Tories and Reform will complain relentlessly that their votes to seats ratio is so bad, and Labour's majority is wildly disproportionate. Worth remembering this is the system we've always had, which we voted (like morons) to keep a few years ago, and it's suited the right just fine till now.

I have not slept at all, though I lay down for two hours, I might conceivably have had a *couple* of cocktails at the exit poll, and I have now consumed an unwise amount of caffeine and bacon. On the whole my best advice is not to ask me to help with your tax calculations right now. /falls over

Stop me if I'm wrong, but Poole is the last available seat for the Tories, yes? I'd just really prefer them to stick on 119, not get the round number. It's...messier.

meanwhile Mr KJC reminds me that Hendon had pretty big boundary changes. I think we very nearly got gerrymandered there.
