ANALYSIS: After suspicions about Southport attack ‘cover-up’, no wonder the public is confused The attack falls outside the definition of terrorism because police couldn’t identify the killer’s motive. Excellent analysis by @skymartinbrunt > news.sky.com/story/no-won...

The idea of the pod is to have more informal, conversational exchanges that are a bit different than the ones you watch on TV which tend to be more formal, and much shorter… give us a try > podfollow.com/electoraldys...

What a hell of an episode it was. Listen in the car, and couldn’t believe how fast those 40 minutes flew by. So many things I want to comment on, but I’ll wait to listen to it again. Elon, Trump, Starmer, Conservatives. Phew.

Tulip Siddiq resigns as City minister. In letter to PM Siddiq said that while she had "not breached the ministerial code", it is clear that continuing as a Treasury minister would be "a distraction from the work of the govt” PM tells her ‘door always open for a return’ news.sky.com/story/pressu...

Fairly consistent pattern across polls with variation at margins - Labour have lost a significant chunk of vote since July - The Tories stuck somewhere around their low General Election vote - Reform have built on Autumn momentum, events of last week certainly haven’t hurt them

Have had a bit of criticism here from those who say me/broadcasters giving Reform too much coverage. Read the article I wrote. The point is, Reform is challenging Tories & becoming the (bigger) vessel compared to other parties w voters disillusioned in politics. How this plays out critical 2 next GE
