Voll Blau

That "radical politics" has already been trialled several times in the last Parliament. There is no "current managerial elite".

Nuremberg is meant to be the one in Germany. Would love to go some day. Found Düsseldorf's average and Bochum's above average relative to the size/profile of the city.

Pundits have been on the Berliner Kindl all afternoon then...

This is it for me. Every challenging party "wins" an election. If it were that easy to just "lose" one then the shower that the Tories were in 2017 and 2019 would have done just that. They didn't, because the opposition failed twice to beat them. Labour won this one because they gamed our system spectacularly well. As, to a degree, did the LDs and Greens.

One of the advantages of Starmer coming late to politics. He doesn't owe any favours, can just give the right people the right job.

90% of the new cabinet are state-educated. About time.

I blame the mosh pit at Coalville polling station.

2019 was the biggest single issue election ever, but you're certainly right about it being distilled down into a constituency-by-constituency basis here. I do wonder how much AI has allowed the more successful parties to game the system in this election. Targeted social media voting clearly had no effect for the Tories.

Bang on. How many local kids can afford to live in that constituency these days?

Well, at least you have him a chance.

Starmer's gamed our shit system super well here. Shame the rise of Reform means no sane government will switch to some form of PR any time soon. Ed Davey deserves credit for doing the same with his daft dad antics, and the Greens won all of their target seats. Fair play.

Truss. Amazing.

Maybe time to give him a chance to do that now then, eh...

Hope they declare before I have to go to work... More time for his to campaign for International Men's Day - a day which already existed when he launched his campaign - now.

Harborough you big let-down. Excited for my old dear to blame "the villages" as usual.

Slept through most of the big-hitters going. FFS.

Just gotta hope he finally gets subjected to the same scrutiny rightly given to any other elected official now.

Seen so many who I consider good lads falling for their fascist bollocks. A generation who've grown up on simple answers to complex questions and think that's what politics is.

Two Barnsley and Hartlepool as well apparently.

Harborough a toss-up according to Sky News?

Wrong constitutency. He's in Ashfield.

Sky News said their website has.

Only slightly.

Into Chilwell VAR decision nerves now...

I see "Nigel" is the new "Boris" then? It's Farage, lads. He's not you best mate and he doesn't want to be.
