this is what capitalist imperialism looks like:
Adding the 2016 votes might make the pattern a little clearer. The ex-2016 UKIP vote appears to have been split between Labour and Tory in 2021. These people may have now swapped to Reform, taking a few more 2021 Tory & Labour voters with them - with other 2021 Labour voters moving to Plaid. ???

Because of the large number of non-voters, it's very difficult to be sure over who swapped votes, and to where, or did and didn't vote who previously did or didn't. #Caerphilly #byelection #Plaid #Labour

A  profitable pharmaceutical company received Β£3.4bn tax cut from a UK tax incentive scheme.
The drug wasn't available to the NHS for several years.
Big pharma wants to hike drug prices.
Β£3.4bn would drastically cut child poverty... but ... but ... there is no money for that.
To me, the video (if it's not just an AI hoax) looks more like an the result of a pole-mounted electricity transformer destroying itself (possibly following a lightning strike). Why didn't they travel to the spot where the light originated, afterwards, to inspect for damage?

Tally of the ani-DigitalID petition is 2,847,401 now signatures. According to the 3.5% Rule, that should be enough to affect political outcomes - as it represents 4.1% of the UK population. Whether the 3.5% rule still applies to βclicktivismβ, as opposed to "meatspace" activism I donβt really know.
