I tried this, Redbridge Council tweeted their result at 4:40am, checking BBC coverage around that time, the Ilford North result appears on their chyron at 4:19am (2:19:40 in the 2am to 6am video on YT), but they don't play anything from the announcement, at least not in the next 1h40m on that video.

TBH the graphs there don't really support the conclusion; Labour got about 1/3 of votes, slightly higher in ABC1 and slightly lower in C2DE. If you must attribute Labour's results to class voting, it owes the most to C2DEs flipping from Tories to Reform rather than any class switch to Labour.

I wouldn't make that argument, based on the US right now. Trump & co are also incompetent clowns, but they're still able to implement policies because the state already has immense capacity to cause harm that they just had to point at the groups they dislike.

UK Labour are taking their immigration policy directly from Reform in an attempt to appeal to Reform supporters. Which means that even if that worked (it doesn't), they still wouldn't be a party to vote for to protect immigrants.

My #1 pick has to be James - The Night Before (2010) - it's short, but every song is a banger. For bonus points pair with its other half, The Morning After (2010 as well)
Runners-up: Garbage - Not Your Kind Of People (2012) and Placebo - Never Let Me Go (2022)

I think the appeal is that there are people who object to them using the word. They've imagined a liberal getting mad at them for it and they don't want them gone or silenced, they just want society as a whole to agree with them when they tell their imaginary liberal to go cry about it. That's all.

proving their claims of biological justification for patriarchal hierarchy to be BS. There's a lot of crossover between the two streams, as homegrown terfs self-radicalise to the point of siding with MRAs to hurt trans people, while r-wing patriarchs enjoy the ideological cover they offer.
comment in response to

It's both, coming via different streams. Homegrown UK transphobia is led by older middle & upper class white women, out of a desire to see themselves as oppressed despite a system that overwhelmingly favours them. Imported US transphobia comes from pro-patriarchy voices attacking trans people for...

It lets right-wingers satisfy their persecution complex by imagining that there is this vast shadowy cabal out to destroy them and their way of life, while also satisfying their superiority complex by believing that they're thwarting said cabal's plans, all without having to actually do anything.

So do the right wing idiots, it's why they had to make up an alternative version where actually it means everyone will be confined to a 15 minute block and killed by new world order drones if they try and leave theirs for vague-but-nefarious reasons so they could get mad about that instead.

My money's on the 1995 cyberpunk film with the gorgeous visuals and fantastic soundtrack to win this bracket.

Essentially, yes. More broadly, it's about mixed-use urban planning, so that you have housing, work, shopping, healthcare, school/college etc all close enough to be reachable in 15 mins by foot/cycle/public transit, so cars & long commutes aren't essential for survival.

Obviously Tzimisce could do a much better job with Vicissitude, but they also wouldn't because just giving big unnaturals is far too tame for any of them to stoop to.

Mind you, I'm also not sure that their skin would grow to cover the increased surface area either, because again they're corpses with magic-powered 'repair' capabilities rather than biological healing.

I... think yes? Physically, they are dead bodies animated by a magical curse fuelled by blood, which preserves them from decay and allows them to heal damage, but I don't think that preservation would reject or expel implants automatically...
