This gets worse for Sir Keir Starmer.

In a couple of years, second, third, fourth, and fifth will be swapping from poll to poll with all of them in the 13-18% range. This gives Green the three Manchester seats.

Your Party will focus on high profile/front bench seats.

That's what I think, anyway

➡️ Reform lead by 16%, their largest ever advantage in an opinion poll.

This would give them 407 seats on the custom nowcast model, a majority of 164.

I still have no idea what Number 10 was thinking intervening over policing. If they ‘win’ the standoff, Keir Starmer personally owns any incident that happens around the match. And he’s broken the precedent of interfering in operational matters, and so will be asked to do so relentlessly.

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place
