So this is so fucked up. What the hell. I noticed Jovan was making headway and then suddenly disappeared from the media. Turns out that disappearance could be from coordinated…. racist jealousy from Labour — or, and both options are the worst option — the implication Labour wanted Farage to win

Starmer got less votes today than Corbyn did in the "disaster" of 2019, which Labour have given up absolutely every principle to avoid repeating. This wasn't a Labour win, it was a Conservative loss. Remember that for next time.

When 36% is a landslide, and a 4% increase in vote share gives you 200 more seats (and twice as many as last time), something is fucked with your electoral system. And then the media establishment paints this is _voters_ being volatile. The UK needs proportional representation.

Easy come, easy go, if they have half a brain... Starmer will think it's all about him. They will probably lurch even more to the right (blame immigrants ) to keep the reform party at bay...

Guessing NZlabour will interpret the UKlabour thumping win as them doing centrist incrementalism wrong... need to do better centrist incrementalism.. #nzpol

Starmer is just a continuation of austerity status quo with an authoritarian streak. This majority is built on tory implosion sand.

Labour has swung very much to the right, guessing not much will change just a more competent continuation of privatisation & austerity policy.

I think assuming total incompetence is always safe bet with this gov, but if they do go with the deal they will probably spin it as they were playing hard ball all along.

kiwirail’s irex project was worth every cent if only to better protect the portside infrastructure against one inevitable disaster: the alpine fault’s rupture. when that fault line goes a ferry running aground will look like the good old days
