Just pondering next year's locals - suspect they are going to be even more turbulent, and even more painful for both traditional governing parties, than this month's were. Last up in 2022 - before Truss, before Gaza, before Reform, before Labour's poll collapse in govt...

People have real problems believing Reform voters don't come from Labour, if not recently, then in the past. A small proportion do, but let's look at how far back you'd have to go now ...

I was saying to the lads I sit with at the match that Murphy should have his own chant by now. Apparently there is one floating about to the tune of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi: “I’m your biggest fan, your mam is from the streets of Birtley, Jacob, Jacob Murphy!” I think I can get behind that. #NUFC

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

BBC reports that Reform candidate Stephen Hartley standing in Oxford has stepped down following revelation that in 2022 he called Jimmy Savile a "working class hero" on twitter. Er... it's A LOT worse than that! This is full blown "Dolphin Square" and "Nick" territory

"For the measures to have any chance of convincing sceptical markets and media outlets (as well as, perhaps, ordinary voters) their authors have to be seen to be committing symbolic violence* against their party’s own cherished principles." *Expect plenty more of this in the Spring Statement. 🙄
