I've no doubt they exist, but *WHO* is the person who wasn't going to buy something described as 'secondhand' but is won over by the label 'preloved', and can we make sure they don't vote?

This is excellent news.

By-election results: (A) Labour gain Scottish Parliament seat (B) Lib Dems gain overall control of Wokingham Looking forward to the punditry on how these results are all about Reform doing well.

We have an official ruling

Tommy Robinson and pals went out for lunch at the very pricy Hawksmoor yesterday... sat down... ordered... and then got kicked out.

The governing party winning a by-election is *always* a win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election they were expected to lose is a *good* win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election in a seat *they didn't previously hold* is a great day for its leader.

Well that changes the entire feel of Scottish politics in the long run up to Holyrood elections next year. Labour GAIN in Hamilton. SNP still struggling. Lab down on % in general election but up on 2021. Strong Reform result. Tories absolutely nowhere and supplanted by them.

Do you think Thiel has had a word overnight and will ruin it for us. Or will the games recommence?

So Labour wins, the SNP came 2nd but #r4today chooses to interview the party who came 3rd

yin and yang but it's me going "hahahahaha this rules" then immediately going "oh man oh god this feels bad for the world", then going "hahahahahaha this rules" again a minute later, and so on

We need details on this.

To take this too seriously, this is anti-public transport propaganda. Londoners regularly see famous people on the tube, because the tube works and rich people will regularly choose it over a car, if it suits them in the moment.

Like Matthew Goodwin I've been doing some modelling and MY projections say that Britain will be majority non-white by 2149. Notes: I define 'white' as "carbonara is your favourite pasta sauce" and adjust for Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan stripping planet earth to a lifeless husk in 2137.

If there's anyone out there who doesn't think that we're drifting towards full Trumpism in British government at the next election, my morale is low enough to hear their reasoning. All ears.

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

🚨🚨 Today's under-reported but quite significant #brexit news: UKG government will scrap border checks on fruit and veg imported from the #EuropeanUnion in an early move to ease trade ahead of its new SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) deal with the EU. 🧵 www.gov.uk/government/n...

Bill Gates was inspired to do this by the remarkable Chuck Feeney who led the way. Gates has now committed to give 99% of his considerable fortune away and is to be applauded. Nobody needs that amount of money. Guaranteed the horrors on twitter will twist it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
