Well done @Samfr - Scotland needs to know just how badly their school system is doing, and just how badly they have let down the next generation of children and the future of Scotland.

Some of these Sunderland results are truly torrid for the Conservatives and are showing that - in Sunderland at least - Reform UK is real

Gordon Brown's decision to sell Britain's gold looks more disastrous by the day telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…
The turnout for Police & Crime Commissioner elections is going to be dire. It's time to scrap this appalling waste of money. A failed experiment!
This is an unbelievably good post. A forensic account of why Hinkley Point C will be the most expensive atomic reactor ever built. Mostly, the costs are waste that don't even increase safety.

You would need to give 2667 illegal migrants a £3,000 bribe to voluntarily leave the country each and every single day to eclipse the cost of migrant hotels.
Might it be possible that the whole offset your emissions thing is not very scientific/a scam? ft.com/content/adec5d…
Large countries should not be overly centralised, but devolution is a terrible name for the process of decentralisation - local control for local issues, regional control for regional issues.
No responsible parent puts their child in a rubber dinghy to cross the world’s busiest shipping lane. Every person who supports the boats and illegal immigration to the UK also has to take responsibility for these appalling deaths.
Birmingham City Council has the highest debt burden at ~£3 billion, but relative to their size, Woking, Spelthorne, Warrington and Thurrock have more debt per capita. From the FT:
I thought the Rwanda policy was meant to be a deterrent… but the first migrant has been sent to Kigali with £3,000 in his pocket. I’m sure taxpayers are delighted.
Shop lifting endemic. Tube inundated by deviants. Knife and sword and acid attack crime normalised. But heaven forbid you should harm a tree !
The London Assembly vote may be more interesting than the mayoral. In 2021 Labour won by 10 pts but YouGov's poll suggests Tory constituencies could be at risk: Lab: 46% (+4) Con: 21% (-11) Grn: 12% (-1) LD: 11% (+1) Reform: 8% (+6) (Changes from 2021)
Academics at Cardiff uni assuring us that the UK has never had ‘less violent crime’. Meantime another day, another knife / sword attack. What has happened to this country?

Well done @Samfr - Scotland needs to know just how badly their school system is doing, and just how badly they have let down the next generation of children and the future of Scotland.
Includes me ranting about the Scottish education system having forgotten that Kezia is married to the Scottish education secretary...
Some of these Sunderland results are truly torrid for the Conservatives and are showing that - in Sunderland at least - Reform UK is real
Ryhope (Sunderland) council election result: LAB: 53.7% (+10.9) REF: 26.0% (+26.0) CON: 13.7% (-35.4) LDEM: 6.6% (+6.6) Labour GAIN from Conservative. sotn.newstatesman.com/2024/05/britai…
My big takeaway from the local elections is that we are not America and there is no excuse for calling it Super Thursday, “midterms”, or any other America-brained mush
“Think before you speak. Read before you think.” - Fran Lebowitz amazon.com/gp/customer-re… 📚#MondayMotivation📚 📚#MondayMorning📚 📚#BookReview📚
Just one ward but those Reform numbers.
Copt Hill (Sunderland) council election result: LAB: 57.4% (+14.5) REF: 15.8% (+15.8) CON: 12.7% (-14.3) GRN: 9.8% (+1.5) LDEM: 4.2% (-4.6) Labour HOLD. sotn.newstatesman.com/2024/05/britai…
If I were Nigel Farage, I would be sitting up and taking note of these Sunderland results If he came back nationally, it's hard to deny it would add rocket fuel to what is already a strong performance in the city for Reform UK
Impressive Reform showing in this bit of Sunderland sotn.newstatesman.com/2024/05/britai…
I'd join in with the "will Poland overtake the UK and/or Yorkshire" soon discussion --- but the UK government in a very SNP-style move took us out of Eurostat when we left the EU so it's much harder to do comparisons like that any more.
Very weird to me how ubiquitous AirPods seem to have become, given this. I simply would not spend hundreds of pounds on headphones that need to be charged and that I can easily lose in a million different ways, when apple still sells perfectly functional wired headphones for £20
Kinda sucks that AirPods cost £250 and last about two years
I think turnout in some PCC elections might be below ten per cent. People don’t understand the role. They aren’t behind it, and it seems like it’s been a failed project in many areas. I think whoever gets into government at the next GE should look again at the system.
This is the outcome most likely to trigger Tory panic, not least as it will indicate they can match poll ratings with real votes. Conversely if Reform don’t do better than in previous by-elections in a seat that should have a bigger base of support I suspect some worries ease.
“I’ve just been speaking to a senior member of Reform UK who is telling me tonight that he feels they will come second.” Reform believes they have done enough to beat the Tories in Blackpool South, @darrylmorris reports. Listen live: tinyurl.com/2s32sww2
According to this poll, Reform are currently polling ahead of the Tories among men in general, voters aged 50-64 and Leave voters.
Tory vote share now lower than under Liz Truss in our latest VI (30 Apr - 1 May) Con: 18% (-2 from 23-24 Apr) Lab: 44% (-1) Reform UK: 15% (+2) Lib Dem: 10% (+1) Green: 8% (+1) SNP: 2% (-1) yougov.co.uk/politics/artic…
I tend to put splitting HMT up in a bucket with other magical solutions to the UK’s economic problems
Despite lot's of sensible people like Harry saying it's not necessary to break HMT up to solve this problem, I'm not convinced.... Even if it will never happen.
I don’t think these people understand debt-to-gdp is 100% and we are presently running a £120 billion annual deficit? (!) We’ve also had no productivity growth for 15 years. It’s so, so much worse than 79 or 2010.
Labour left the economy in ruins in 1979. They did it again in 2010. In local Govt they’ve bankrupted whole cities. Those of us who have lived through Labour know that they always wreck Britain. Every single time. #neverlabour

@policy_uk @jamesjohnson252 @BBC May well be later still this year. There are fewer seats up for election and many of them don't count until tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make even an initial projection until after the Friday morning results are in.
@baylissbaghdad @policy_uk you are both right, let's continue this conversation offline at our leisure
Some Early *RUMOURS*... 1. Blackpool South nailed on LAB GAIN – Reform 15-20% 2. LAB confident of widespread gains – some significant (e.g. Rushmoor) – although some pockets of weakness (Oxford, Rochdale) 3. Khan likely to hold London but will be closer than expected.
@policy_uk @BBC Think the initial projection was 4ish last year
