Noteworthy because this isn’t a seat Reform have won because of eating the Tory vote or largely because Labour has lost votes within the left bloc (though it has a bit). But this looks much more like between bloc switching from Lab to Reform

"Posts liked by Polanski include one asking “how much does Israel pay him” of Starmer, and another claiming “Labour has been bought by and happily promotes an apartheid genocidal state”.

As far as I can tell there are no journalists embedded with US forces in Iran - happy to be corrected if anyone has more information. This must be the first time that’s happened?

Watching news programmes over the last couple of days, I’m really struck by the fact that the US isn’t putting people up & isn’t briefing us. Probably isn’t briefing anyone?

BREAKING: Keir Starmer says the U.K. has given the US permission to use British bases to launch strikes on Iran

The centrist establishment is dying in British politics & may be dead already. Labour’s collapse happened in entirely predictable ways. In fact @rewearmouth.bsky.social & I warned Starmer would face this in our 2024 book, Landslide. It’s happening in France, US, Germany. Gorton is just the start.

Polls were way out

Panic on the streets of London? I am the resurrection? Love will tear us apart? So this is how it feels to be lonely? So many missed opportunities by political journalists this week

I find it pretty mental that we have spent the week talking about the NEC, given everything going on internationally

This is quite something
