I’d be curious to see if there’s a similar trend for Crohns and/or Colitis. Just got a hunch it might be the case.

🧵/ With tactical voting ever more common, who do voters back when only two parties have a chance in their seat?

Con 31% v Ref 24%

Lab 35% v Ref 31%
Lab 29% v Con 28%

LD 41% v Ref 29%
LD 34% v Con 26%
LD 29% v Lab 21%
LD 26% v Grn 25%

Grn 42% v Ref 27%
Grn 37% v Con 29%
Grn 30% v Lab 20%

You too 😭🫂

James Franco about to be executed by hanging meme.

First time this year?

I debated Matt Goodwin once. He is a really grim little opportunist. This kind of stuff illustrates just what a howling vacuum of a creature he really is. I have a step-daughter but no biological children. I dearly wanted one. Goodwin is a ghoul www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Looks like Wesley finally licked the wrong spittle

It’s very sweet and cute that he not only planed to have lil kids there and then rolls so well with the lil kids being lil kids but I have to know whose idea the lil podium was

Oh the irony that he claims he’s “protecting women” by being transphobic, and then proceeds to live tweet like a leering pervert.

another great day for Morgan McSweeney, boy genius, Mandelson disciple

The argument that we can't afford to write off student loans and replace it with a better system never flies to me, because we're going to have to write it off in 30 years anyway. By then the interest rate will have made it cost HUGE amounts more to write off. Just do it now.

Norris says nationalising water isnt the answer because we'd end up footing the bill for the failure to invest in the past. But we are anyway! Who do you think is ultimately paying this £104bn Alex?

With nationalisation we'd cut out the parasitical companies creaming off the top

Appalling. “Dismissed”, implying it was a top-down decision when it was the vast majority of (normal) Londoners who, in consultation, resoundingly defended trans Londoner’s rights to use a public space with dignity in their lived gender.

To come under siege was the inevitable fate of power.

Water companies press for faster abolition of regulator Slow pace of reforms means Ofwat is likely to be influencing household bills and infrastructure for another decade

Water privatisation *cannot be fixed* by regulation

"Privatisation and regulation have failed since 1989

The government’s promise of ‘stability for investors’ comes directly at the expense of households

Every penny of investment into the system has come from our bills"

Doesn't the labour party see that their insistence on serving London and only London is a massive slap in the face to the rest of the country.

Fed up of these egotistical self-interested London sociopaths who are obsessed with power rather than their communities.

The United States government has been murdering people in broad daylight and still the people show out in protest and opposition. Fascism can only function when the ordinary person looks the other way out of fear or passivity, and I'm very glad plenty of Americans aren't.

Shut it down. Everywhere.

So Labour looked at the threat of Reform turning the UK into the current dystopian US nightmare and said, nope, it’s more important that an incompetent PM that people hate be able to keep his job.

Blocking Andy Burnham from standing is not putting the country before the party. It’s not even the best decision for the party. Starmer is ultimately prioritising his job. A job he is doing badly. Which will result in Britain falling to the far right.

Absolutely unforgivable.

Starmer's London clique fucking over the north, again.

In the most unsurprising turn of events, some Labour right apparatchiks care more about settling personal scores than winning elections after all.

Even if it means risking gifting Reform another seat in Parliament. 1/2

I feel a much stronger cultural connection to our fellow European neighbours than I ever could with the United States. I'd stand with Europe over that dump any day of the week.

All we share is a language, and that means fuck all, especially now.

Actually it’s good to leave the AirPods at home once in a while, listening to the usual hustle and bustle is nice!!

Ben Kentish @BenKentish X.com For all the sycophancy, grovelling, fawning and turning a blind eye, what does Britain have to show for it? Trump is still trying to appease Putin, still threatening to invaded NATO allies, still hitting us with tarriffs, still persistently interring in and talking down our country. What was all the prostrating and grovelling for? The UK has acquiesced to Trump's assault on US democracy, contempt for for international law and disregard for basic decency and we've got absolutely nothing positive to show for it.

It’s fun how the public were repeatedly told Starmer had played a blinder with his relentless ball-sucking deference to the Donald but now, once it can no longer be denied, it turns out it was all sycophancy, grovelling, fawning and turning a blind eye. Weird! How did that happen?

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
