This is great!

No. I want* Labour to get their begging bowls out as the largest party, but well short of a majority. They need to learn the hard way that compromising with reasonably like-minded parties is a better outcome for them than beatifying those who are the antithesis of their actual voter base.

Hasan is a UI and UX designer, like a lot of the people I follow here - but the thing is, right now, instead of working on portfolio pieces or taking jobs, he’s worrying about his children having somewhere to sleep, having something to eat, being safe. Surely some of us can help him with that?

The Weekend Match: St Albans City vs Chatham Town - Priced out of the market As the 'trident' leagues swing back to life, it's time to go back in time, on more than one sense.

You weekend match this week: St Albans City vs Chatham Town. No goals, and a hint of protest and unhappiness in the air.

Vintage black-and-white portrait of a woman wearing glasses and a high-collared blouse, exuding a formal and reflective atmosphere.

10 August 1909 | Dutch Jewish woman, Jenny Chapon, was born in Amsterdam. She was a telephone operator in the Department of Home Affairs.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in Februrary 1943. She did not survive.

Could be worse. Probably will be.

Oh, wow. Haha. Hope you managed to keep cool!

When did you go to Tokyo?

I didn't actually get it today, but it is somewhere I'd like to go at some point.

They haven't got 700,000 members, but 700,000 people who have signed up for a newsletter. While I'm not suggesting they couldn't convert a good chunk of those into paying members, it's not the same thing.

Ah, that makes sense. I stand corrected in that case!

Ordinarily I'd agree, but few town councils have ever been flush with money.

As some of you already know, my little brother has a rare cancer. Less than 200 people are recorded having it since the 70's. In just a month, it's progressed to stage 3. He's only 20. It's been SO hard. If my game dev advice was ever useful to you, please consider: www.mealtrain.com/trains/y5z8yy

Proud to join friends from across London in West Hampstead on Saturday to support the brilliant Janet Grauberg in the by-election happening on 28th August.

…a Lab Cllr defected to the Cons, then resigned after being filmed abusing a local shopkeeper…no wonder residents were behind Janet to win!

*'The wife' klaxon*

The contrast in reporting these stories is nuts, right? It's not just me?

Vintage portrait of a smiling woman wearing a cloche hat and a modest blouse.

Maybe she forgot she's actually seen it before. 😉

They just seem to have forgotten people under about 45 exist.

Gravestone inscribed: Alistair Stephen Fabian Mitchell. 13-6-1957, 10-2-2019. Barrister of the Middle Temple. My brain, socialist. My heart, anarchist. My eyes, pacifist. My blood, revolutionary. Around the edge, the legend: The only man in British legal history to be convicted of biting a policeman with someone else’s teeth.

A tombstone in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, photographed by Andy Darby.

Note the border inscription.

That's really cool, Tara!

Apologies, only just saw you'd done a few posts on them, too.

Cheers. Without trying to sound trite, when you combine that kind of proportion with the absolute dearth of people coming through over the course of this term who currently intend to vote Con, it really does look bleak for them right now.

I feel like a useful rule of politics is that if you have to resort to parliamentary procedural shenanigans to do something then it's probably not a good idea

🎶 And slowly, I've come to realise... 🎶

Assuming a May/June 2029 election, how many people who voted Conservative in 2024 will be dead by then?

A bit behind schedule, but how voters moved in the year since the 2024 election.

Labour facing same splintering of the last govt: a significant bloc crossing floor to primary electoral opposition, with a numerically larger chunk moving to opponents on same side of spectrum, plus many 'don't knows'.
