This Is Why British Politics Feels Broken Up to 28% of respondents are excluded from headline poll figures. Millions more cast votes that barely translate into representation. | Reading time: 12 mins

Any idea where the full data source is for this? Sky don’t link to it and can’t find it YouGov website

Curious how how much the don’t know and won’t vote has changed - feels like @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s approach is engaging the disengaged www.capsizemedia.org/this-is-why-...

I can’t seem to find the full data for this poll - YouGov voting intention doesn’t include don’t know and won’t vote. Be curious to see if Greens have engaged undecideds to shift these percentages

Totally agree about FPTP

Amazing that you can’t easily find the don’t know and won’t vote data

Sky News not even linking to the data source

I don't understand how the US just confirmed that they couldn't stop Netanyahu, so had to start a world war?!

Predictably, the right-wing culture war is wrong about the BRITs DiS crunches the data to see whether the pROteCt OuR gURLs brigade had anything to worry about.

Zack Polanski, "John Healy won't condemn US/Israel attack on Iran"

"I'm worried that the UK will be pulled into another illegal war"

Ditto :/

Apparently Jack Whitehall said something about Mandelson

“Look at all these politicians! I think i saw Peter Mandelson on the list. Oh wait! Wrong list”

Such a jolt to switch over from world war three on the news to Kpop Demon Hunters, Olivia Dean, and Raye on BRIT Awards

We need a better term than “vibe shift” for bridging what feels like parallel universes

ITV censoring Jack Whitehall’s comment about politics (Farage? Anyone know what he said?)

Deftones is for the girls To get into arenas, heavy acts have to get women on their side. And who does that better than Chino and co?

Merry world war three day to all who celebrate

Jack Dorsey renamed the company to Block because he thought blockchains would be the future, in case you were wondering what his track record of predicting long-term tech trends is

When Starmer flip flops and u-turns so do voters

Especially tactical voters who follow trusted guidance

Will be sharing more analysis on capsizemedia.org later

Congrats @zackpolanski.bsky.social & @greenpartyhan.bsky.social 👏

This is my first proper political data visualisation essay

Dug into the polls around today’s by-election and what the election results tell us

Something like 80% of our political journalists are from upper class or upper middle class backgrounds - many of whom benefit from a broken system and economic injustice

The data from the site that was 99.7% accurate when giving tactical voting advice to 1.5m people at the general election suggests bsky.app/profile/stop...

The data concurs bsky.app/profile/stop...

Assuming as a charity you can’t say who to vote for, so will just leave this here bsky.app/profile/stop...

Will be fascinating to see where we’re at this time tomorrow

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is giving me a rare dose of hope

Meanwhile, reportedly Labour put out tactical voting flyers from a site that doesn’t exist, whilst @fwddem.com’s @stopreformuk.bsky.social advises tactically vote green 🫠

Zack Polanski Calls On Labour To Apologise For Inventing Fake Tactical Voting Company A by-election leaflet sent to voters in Gorton and Denton has sparked an angry backlash.

Toxic Wolfe’s A Man in Freefall

Interesting choice of outfit for a trip to court to plead not guilty to rape www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/m...

side note but £1700pcm for a one bedroom flat in Colliers Wood, a not especially glamorous neighbourhood in quite deep zone 3, is fucking bananas, London renting has just gone fully insane
