A somewhat optimistic take on Labour's green plans after Reeves' earlier rollback on ambition and investment. Miliband will need a LOT of support to advance measures through a Cabinet facing its acceptance of Tory-set austerity - AND convince Lammy at FCDO to make better use of UKaid.

Absolutely this. The BBC in particular need to significantly up their game now that Farage and Tice aren't paid pundits, but the equalivalents of Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsey as senior figures in parties with 4 MPs. I'm not confident our media is up to the challenge.

This is so cool! Frog & amphibian have been dessimated by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungal pathogen. Researchers have realised that the fungi is heat intolerant so little brick saunas for frogs can help kill the fungi! Recovered frogs more resistant to further infxn 🧪

I know. I live in a constituency with a hefty Orange Order presence where Reform remained at single figures (8.4%, still above Tories and LibDems). Elsewhere, Reform is in double digits. That doesn't bode well.

Agree. I had intended to add the rider that JRM was still a repellent, condescending disaster capitalist, if a seemingly polite one.

Life expectancy in the UK has plummeted under Tory rule because of wealth transfers from the poorest to the richest. Maybe it's time the 0.1% actually contributed instead of being given tips on how to continue draining wealth from the rest of us.

I heard on a podcast that Rees-Mogg had heard the result hours earlier but still refused to leak it and be shouty. Contrast his behaviour with the stony-faced Truss, who strode off with acolytes without a word.

Two things about the UK election. Completely civil and decent handover of power, from all involved, apart from Farage over there lighting his own farts. PM Starmer, first speech, allowed to speak without the interruption of woos and applause, a sensible crowd despite a massive win.

Reform is also runner up in a wide swathe of seats across England - and Wales. Its performance in Scotland was poorer, but still surprising in areas. The performative disruption to be caused by Farage and Co, like in Strasbourg, is a problem for at least the next two Parliaments.

Can't remember if it was Campbell and Stewart or Peter Mandelson on Times Radio reflecting that Labour dropped about 20% in every major Muslim area, that Israel-Gaza was the issue, and that it had to be addressed by Starmer and Co.

Sunak’s No10 resignation speech - what a hypocrite. He praised his immigrant parents for giving him safety and opportunities while denying it to others and threatening deportation to Rwanda while also denying our children and grandchildren easy access to Europe. You own it Sunak for ever.

Braverman still retained her seat, and "apologised" for the Tories not delivering the nastiness she had repeatedly aspired to and promised. Expect her to run for leader or cross over to Reform in time.

The fact that a pro-Palestinian independent halved Starmer's majority and ran him to second place should cause him to reflect. However, I suspect he'll double down on flags, borders and elusive growth, without addressing ethics, an obstacle to growth (Brexit) or an enabler (green action at scale).

"I am sorry." Exit stage right, to pursue a green card. At least Sunak didn't hum, unlike Cameron, and Johnson and Truss, who didn't apologise. And May was "sad".

Cooper still has Reform coming second to her in Pontefract, with a turnout of only 48%. That's not a ringing endorsement. And we've already witnessed the media circus for Farage's various incarnations, so he'll disrupt and get air time. TikTok alone will get him younger male votes. ☹️

I think the "Tories out / Starmer in" cartoon captures a lot. Much of the "Tories out" lot are now Reform, and some of the Labour lot on the left and centre-left held their noses at Starmer's and Reeves' policies and kicked the Tories - or SNP. Starmer will never win the hardcore Reform vote.
