New data from me, for @tuc.org.uk, on tax. Overall support for several measures inc. a 2% wealth tax, notably shared by 2024 "hero" switchers and with Lab24 now considering Reform.

Am at a handball festival in western Norway. Couple of c. 10 yr old boys just walked by towing a big portable speaker, pumping out Gangsta's Paradise.

One of the weirder bits of the ERB debate is opposition parties claiming it amounts to a crackdown on pub banter. (Needless to say?), voters find this an odd line of argument to take. Daily Mirror story on Hold Sway poll findings for the TUC here: www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Reform on 27% in this More in Common poll. On these figures that means a little over 3% of the electorate are Lab24->Ref25 voters, or in other words, about 10% of Labour's voters at the GE are now with Reform. Not insignificant.

Wouldn't qualify myself as a music dork but would nominate Random Access Memories, think it's 16 years after Homework.

Substantial piece of work from Steve and team.

"...but that's not important right now."

Think I've got to the bottom of it.

You can try all you like but you'll never beat "hang in there ladies".

IMO it's underrated just how weak these guys are.

Magnificent new meme template just dropped.

Big move by the TUC (and a little writeup of some groups I did for them recently).
