2025 EUROVISION STV THREAD Starting with the final, where we see that Israel had the most first preferences (14), with Austria second (8) but Austria got more transfers and eventually beat Israel by 39-32. The UK televote had first preference for Israel. The UK jury transferred Latvia to Austria.

It's a terrible sadness that this happened, but to claim she was shot by a "terrorist" when she was the one illegally invading another country is factually incorrect. How many pregnant Palestinian mothers have been slaughtered in a hospital in *their own country*?

Love how Martin Österdahl has been put in a box after the booing last year. Seems like it really got to him.

This is truly mind-blowing. At first I only looked at the crack appearing in the foreground in the pavement, then I saw the sudden and fast movement of the earth in the distance and on the right. 🤯🧪⚒️ youtu.be/77ubC4bcgRM?...

Scots will be looking at the Labour figures from that Welsh poll and thinking, "first time"? But for context, Labour have won every Westminster and Welsh election for *103* years. When they lost to the SNP in 2011, that streak in Scotland was 'just' 47 years long.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Maybe the TransPennine Express services to Sheffield could make an additional stop somewhere in the Peak District on Sundays to help make up for a lack of Northern stopping services?

Just wanna point out that LibDem/Green Oxfordshire was the absolute centre of the 15 min city conspiracy and today the LDs have added 15 seats and the Greens have more than doubled so it’s hardly electoral suicide. People like safe streets! @carlosmorenofr.bsky.social @filipwatteeuw.bsky.social

Does everyone remember how Ulez cost Labour the Uxbridge by-election and then stopped it winning a 174 seat majority at the general election a year later?

This change would apply in England only. The Welsh Government has also not yet decided to implement the Cass report. The Senedd previously voted to not adopt the report's recommendations. #thatsdevolved www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04...
