Two big conversations we desperately need to have in this country - on why we should re-join the single market, & how grown-up economics actually works. But we're not allowed to have either of them.

Huge responsibility now on our media to stop fearing & humouring racists & start calling them out properly. But it's a responsibility they show no signs of being remotely up for.

3. I'd been thinking with relief that the UK was bucking the trend of a rising radicalized far right. But I think that was premature. And Labour inherits a catastrophic landscape for governance. It will take near-perfect leadership and a lot of luck to get this right. Otherwise 2029 could be scary.

- Labour's vote spread was way more efficient than under Corbyn. Brilliant groundgame - Tory vote was cannibilized by Reform - soft tories stayed at home, unlike with Corbyn - Labour will need to win back the votes lost due to terrible trans and gaza policies ALL THESE THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT ONCE

Looked at election coverage and every channel's lineup is filled with former politicians who in many cases were directly terrible and left in disgrace? Feels grim to watch them get paid to debate over the country they completely let down

We could at least give 'Reform' a more accurate name. National Front, for example, since they're the same.

Not fit for purpose in this case meant specifically liable to significant distortion by 'fake news'. Nothing to do with PR.

If I was in the mood, I would quote the DCMS Select Committee's Disinformation report (which referenced not only the Brexit vote but subsequent GEs) that declared our electoral system as not fit for purpose, but I've long since recognised the futility of that.

We will need more MPs like this in the coming years - those who can inspire people to vote *for* them, rather than just protest votes. GTTO will work for this election (thankfully) but where will we be next time?

Tice is the other main shareholder I believe, so he'll get some too. Watch yourself with that lot, remember they have Yaxley-Lennon's boot boys with them, & he has history of showing up at people's doors. Probably have a good supply of supporters in the police too.
