Or at the point where most people realised Labour were definitely going to win. Easy to forget when you're plugged in that most people didn't realise how much of a dead cert it was until they started paying attention.

Done! It's an easy way to fill up your followers with lots of relevant accounts to kickstart your feed. Or you can just treat it as a list of similar accounts to follow.

Interesting to look at it as relative security, i.e. as a percentage of current seats:
Labour: 115 (29%)
Lib Dem: 25 (35%)
Conservative: 5 (4%)
Green: 2 (50%)
Plaid: 2 (50%)
... although worth considering which parties are closer to ceilings (Lib Dems?) or floors (Cons?)

Nor me, but probably tactical voting to keep Reform/Tories out where they are in play (2nd place). The vote was a lot more split this time, but that gives a lot more information for voters next time.
But that depends on where all those parties are at that point, and on a lot of circumstances!

My guess for 2028/29 is Labour win with fewer seats but a larger vote share. How the other parties fair is very uncertain...

I'd be careful of assuming this will continue into the future - it might, but if inflation returns (trade wars...) then it might become a priced-in fact of life instead.

One thing that the last few years has made very clear is that it's almost impossible for incumbents to survive high inflation. Regardless of ideology, parties held responsible have lost - or seen their position significantly worsen - nearly everywhere.

I’ve just been elected school governor for my local high school. I’ve never done this before and don’t really know what to expect from the first meeting I attend. Anyone have any advice for how I can have a positive impact? Ideally without treading on toes?
