Good evening all. Was giving some thought earlier to the May locals, the Fisher prediction and Reforms prospects and a comment on here the other day about at what level Reforms vote starts to become inefficient. Last year in their annus mirabilis they got 30 or 32% NEV depending if youre a Thrasher or Beeb kinda girl. Likely theyll get a bit lower this year imo for reasons discussed at length previously. I think NEV just above mid twenties (say 26 or 27) might be cut off below which they start to lose a vast number of wards narrowly when running up against stronger areas for Red or Blue (say Sandwell or Solihull as examples or Barking and Bromley) Last night, for example, Reform hit good vote shares in Axholme and Sevenoaks but they were a long way from taking either. If Reform are going to 'confirm' the breakthrough of 2025 they need a strong turnout of their vote and a depressed turnout of the others. Id say theyll partially get the latter (esp Labour) but have they got the ground game to fire up the former? Maybe a lot of near misses await......
The Tories only held Axholme and Sevenoaks with heavy tactical voting for them to beat Reform from Labour and LD voters respectively.
As I said earlier only heavy tactical voting for incumbent councillors and MPs will likely enable them to hold off Reform insurgents
LDs in Sevenoaks are not voting Tory tactically to beat Reform when they would have considered themsrlves the challengers for the ward
They are, the LD vote was down 14% in that Sevenoaks ward, given Reform got 29% and the Tory vote was down 20%, without LDs tactically voting Tory it could have been a Reform gain not a Tory hold https://x.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/2037327448862339391?s=20
@wooliedyed is far more forensic and correct on analysing these results than you will ever be
Oh dont make me blush Soneone will be along to tell you I talk a load of old cock
I find your analysis very informative and interesting whereas I could predict @HYUFD slant on polling before he makes it
Thank you. I make plenty of errors though and i have my biases. But definitely last nights Tory holds were nothing to do with tactical voting. In both cases in 2023 voters wanting to 'stop the Tory' had on,y one option - Lab in Axholme, LD in Sevenoaks. This time they had 4 options in Ax, 3 in Seven. 4 and 5 horse races (where those horses are the recognised national thoroughbreds) are rarely won on massive vote shares of 50% plus. 2 horse races are always won on 50% plus vote shares. Theres no rocket science or mystery to it.
That is simply not the case.
The issue is no longer 'Stop the Tory' the issue is 'Stop Reform' for Lab and LD voters in Tory held seats. Hence the Labour and LD votes were down in Axholme and Sevenoaks respectively, Reform were a clear second in both seats but the Tories held both seats despite the Tory vote being down about 20% in both seats in a straight Tory to Reform shift
And that's the difficult judgement for the Conservatives.
They can only be a Stop Reform party by clearly rejecting Reform. People Like Me (a minority, sure, but potentially Conservative-curious) aren't going to back the Conservatives if they are going to enable Nigel.
But if the price of stopping Nigel is permitting Keir? Ouch.
That's the price of being third, or worse, in the polls.
Indeed, as long as Reform remain the main party of the right in polls, no longer the Conservatives, Conservative incumbent councillors and MPs can only hold on with Labour and LD tactical votes to beat Reform as you say.
If the Tories are only third or worse in May on seats won and behind Labour as well as Reform mutterings will start again over whether Cleverly would be a better bet to win those tactical votes than Kemi is
Seats won now is it? I thought it was NEV Goalposts being moved

It was the latter but basically it is both
Obviously they'll win fewer wards than Labour. They start on 1200 less FFS

Kemi is right. Ban them
Ban all symbols of religion, the burqa, the crucifix, the dog collar, etc. Then ban all religion. Give peace a chance.

It would outflank Labour on closer alignment with Europe on the issues that people care about.
Kemi imputes that she knows how many thousands of people think, and evaluates them according to her personal opinions.
Kemi is a knee-jerking fool. This is no better than Farage or Anderson.
And yet this ban is what a vast majority of Brits want, according to polls. And several European countries - not notably Nazi - have banned them. And they are banned in multiple Muslim countries
So what exactly is your objection?
It would be interesting to see the left’s reaction if all Reform voters wives were suddenly dressed from head to toe in black sackcloths, except for when they were at home with the Reform male. I doubt it would be tossed aside as ‘their freedom to wear whatever they liked’
"Reform voters wives" sounds like the world's worst pornographic magazine.

Not the same since Sam Cam.
Certainly given that her successor was Philip May.

There was "no evidence" of "family voting" or voter coercion at the Gorton and Denton by-election, police have concluded after an investigation.
Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, reported allegations of the illegal practice after the poll last month to Greater Manchester Police and the Electoral Commission.
Assuming (absent evidence to the contrary) a competent investigation, that is very good news.
Rather at odds with the claims (not Farage) on the night. I’d love to believe the police but in recent years they’ve not exactly been stellar.

The legislation appears to be quite poorly drafted. Apparently there needs to be evidence of verbal instruction or physical contact for there to be an offence, while going into the booth at the same time is no problem.
The observers do not allege any verbal instruction or physical conduct that indicated one person was directing or coercing another regarding how to vote. This is a crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed.

Good evening all. Was giving some thought earlier to the May locals, the Fisher prediction and Reforms prospects and a comment on here the other day about at what level Reforms vote starts to become inefficient. Last year in their annus mirabilis they got 30 or 32% NEV depending if youre a Thrasher or Beeb kinda girl. Likely theyll get a bit lower this year imo for reasons discussed at length previously. I think NEV just above mid twenties (say 26 or 27) might be cut off below which they start to lose a vast number of wards narrowly when running up against stronger areas for Red or Blue (say Sandwell or Solihull as examples or Barking and Bromley) Last night, for example, Reform hit good vote shares in Axholme and Sevenoaks but they were a long way from taking either. If Reform are going to 'confirm' the breakthrough of 2025 they need a strong turnout of their vote and a depressed turnout of the others. Id say theyll partially get the latter (esp Labour) but have they got the ground game to fire up the former? Maybe a lot of near misses await......

The Times has been told that she has subsequently taken new legal advice which argues that she did not need to pay the higher rate of stamp duty. The new advice has been submitted to HMRC. It is understood to highlight “complexities” surrounding the trust
Bring your greed back into the headlines Angie. That'll work
The key quote in that tweet.
Dan Neidle, a tax expert, said: “It seems she didn’t realise that having the Hove property held by a trust with her son as beneficiary made it her second home for stamp-duty purposes. If that’s the case, it’s super-simple: she has to pay the tax. Her lawyers said she should take tax advice and she didn’t. That is likely to mean penalties are due.”
Iranian missiles and drones have hit Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base, damaging several US refuelling aircraft. It’s the second strike on the base.
That cannot be correct. All their missiles have been destroyed.
You are right, all of their missiles, well, not all, maybe actually probably about one third of ALL THEIR MISSILES WERE DESTROYED.
Luckily it seems nobody was killed in that crash or he would have been facing a lengthy jail term having been DUI. Another sporting genius with a less than brilliant personal life
I think its very likely the crash will lead to a VONC in Kemi and James Cleverly being made leader, frankly
56 Tory MPs are projected to lose their seats on the latest Nowcast. That is more than enough for a VONC if May's local and devolved elections are poor for the Tories https://electionmaps.uk/nowcast
And you keep moving the definition of 'poor' because what you actually want is Kemi gone regardless of the results Thats fine, just say it rather than this ridiculous dance
No if the Tories are first or second in May I will be Kemi's ultimate loyalist
Good evening all. Was giving some thought earlier to the May locals, the Fisher prediction and Reforms prospects and a comment on here the other day about at what level Reforms vote starts to become inefficient. Last year in their annus mirabilis they got 30 or 32% NEV depending if youre a Thrasher or Beeb kinda girl. Likely theyll get a bit lower this year imo for reasons discussed at length previously. I think NEV just above mid twenties (say 26 or 27) might be cut off below which they start to lose a vast number of wards narrowly when running up against stronger areas for Red or Blue (say Sandwell or Solihull as examples or Barking and Bromley) Last night, for example, Reform hit good vote shares in Axholme and Sevenoaks but they were a long way from taking either. If Reform are going to 'confirm' the breakthrough of 2025 they need a strong turnout of their vote and a depressed turnout of the others. Id say theyll partially get the latter (esp Labour) but have they got the ground game to fire up the former? Maybe a lot of near misses await......
The Tories only held Axholme and Sevenoaks with heavy tactical voting for them to beat Reform from Labour and LD voters respectively.
As I said earlier only heavy tactical voting for incumbent councillors and MPs will likely enable them to hold off Reform insurgents
LDs in Sevenoaks are not voting Tory tactically to beat Reform when they would have considered themsrlves the challengers for the ward
They are, the LD vote was down 14% in that Sevenoaks ward, given Reform got 29% and the Tory vote was down 20%, without LDs tactically voting Tory it could have been a Reform gain not a Tory hold https://x.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/2037327448862339391?s=20
@wooliedyed is far more forensic and correct on analysing these results than you will ever be
Oh dont make me blush Soneone will be along to tell you I talk a load of old cock
I am glad you are being modest and self-effacing.
All the best polling and electoral analysts share those traits.
They really can't admit responsibility even for stuff they're advocating. This is contemptible from Rubio.

The other day on a bar TV i saw one of the most dystopic live "sporting events" I've ever encountered: indoor simulated golf??? It was like Top Golf except they were taking it seriously. Tiger Woods was there for some reason. He looked like he wanted to kill himself. Now to check the news

Kemi is right. Ban them
It would outflank Labour on closer alignment with Europe on the issues that people care about.
Kemi imputes that she knows how many thousands of people think, and evaluates them according to her personal opinions.
Kemi is a knee-jerking fool. This is no better than Farage or Anderson.
And yet this ban is what a vast majority of Brits want, according to polls. And several European countries - not notably Nazi - have banned them. And they are banned in multiple Muslim countries
So what exactly is your objection?
It would be interesting to see the left’s reaction if all Reform voters wives were suddenly dressed from head to toe in black sackcloths, except for when they were at home with the Reform male. I doubt it would be tossed aside as ‘their freedom to wear whatever they liked’
"Reform voters wives" sounds like the world's worst pornographic magazine.

This sort of thing is now routine. It's a very small news story about something not that important. Breaking the law to big up the President and treat him like a king. No big deal.

SCOOP: Acting ICE head Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues during the Trump admin., 4 sources told me. They also said that the White House places lots of pressure on him and that Stephen Miller yells at him on calls.
Shame on Politico for publishing such inaccurate trash.
Todd Lyons is an American patriot who has worked tirelessly to undo Biden's disastrous immigration policies that wreaked havoc on American communities. And the American people are deeply appreciative for his hard work making our country safer.
Despite multiple on record denials and sources refuting their pathetic 'reporting' and *still* ran with this absurd article.

He may not yet be a dictator. But, remarkably, he’s behaving like a dictator of several years’ standing. The golden statue stuff usually happens many years into a dictatorship.
We were talking books last night, and the pros and cons of keeping them or giving them away. I have Peter York’s Dictators’ Homes on the shelf. A daily reminder of the warning signs. And Trump flashes bright red on the Peter York circuit board.

I see from the Telegraph article that Kemi suggests that she views this as a low priority.
The thing that I find most startling in the survey is that 76% of the respondents want to ban "exclusion of women from religious leadership". Would you support that? That would ban the male only Roman Catholic priesthood, and male only Episcopates.

Tory MPs unlike Labour MPs do not do sentimentality in their leaders. If they could effectively remove general election winners like Thatcher and Boris after falling poll ratings and poor local election results not to mention their removal of IDS and forced resignations of May and Truss they can certainly remove Kemi. Unlike Labour MPs Tory MPs also have the final say on removing an existing leader, whereas Labour MPs could not remove Corbyn as Labour members voted to keep him

Weighed down by these hideous deathly black shrouds. I do not believe any woman under 60 - if any - would voluntarily wear these appalling garments, They are symbols of misogyny and TOOLS of misogyny
Kemi is right. Ban them
It would outflank Labour on closer alignment with Europe on the issues that people care about.
Kemi imputes that she knows how many thousands of people think, and evaluates them according to her personal opinions.
Kemi is a knee-jerking fool. This is no better than Farage or Anderson.
And yet this ban is what a vast majority of Brits want, according to polls. And several European countries - not notably Nazi - have banned them. And they are banned in multiple Muslim countries
So what exactly is your objection?
Catching up,
If there is no evidence of a basis for implementing a policy, then it is a matter of prejudice - which is not how we seek to operate as a society. There are only perhaps 1% of Muslim women who wear a full-face veil; that should be their choice.
I see from the Telegraph article that Kemi suggests that she views this as a low priority.
The thing that I find most startling in the survey is that 76% of the respondents want to ban "exclusion of women from religious leadership". Would you support that? That would ban the male only Roman Catholic priesthood, and male only Episcopates.

Luckily it seems nobody was killed in that crash or he would have been facing a lengthy jail term having been DUI. Another sporting genius with a less than brilliant personal life
I think its very likely the crash will lead to a VONC in Kemi and James Cleverly being made leader, frankly
56 Tory MPs are projected to lose their seats on the latest Nowcast. That is more than enough for a VONC if May's local and devolved elections are poor for the Tories https://electionmaps.uk/nowcast
And you keep moving the definition of 'poor' because what you actually want is Kemi gone regardless of the results Thats fine, just say it rather than this ridiculous dance
No if the Tories are first or second in May I will be Kemi's ultimate loyalist
Ultimate loyalty cannot be conditional, surely?
My ultimate loyalty is to the party, my loyalty to the party leader depends on their performance
Good job conservative mps and members back Kemi to make up for conditional so called supporters
They may do for now, if the Tories are third or worse in May Tory MPs letters will be flooding in to Blackman, they won't vote to keep a leader who will see them lose their seat, pay and perks
In that case, there is no possible leader for the Tories.

Indeed, generally the Roman Catholic church is most hostile to women clergy and bishops but a bit more open to gays, hence the Pope now allows priests to perform prayers for same sex couples. Whereas conservative evangelicals are mostly more open to female clergy with many now having female pastors but fervently anti any recognition of gay relationships still

Ah but first or second in what! Seats? NEV? Votes cast? All regions and nations? The Premier League?
NEV, which is achievable at least even if not seats given most seats up are in urban areas this year not the shires
I think your ultimate loyalty will be required then as I expect Tories to be second on NEV. Not long to find out
4th or 5th is my thinking.
Nah, LDs and Greens will put out fewer candidates and fall back in NEV and Labour are gash
NEV takes account of such things.

The Times has been told that she has subsequently taken new legal advice which argues that she did not need to pay the higher rate of stamp duty. The new advice has been submitted to HMRC. It is understood to highlight “complexities” surrounding the trust

The observers do not allege any verbal instruction or physical conduct that indicated one person was directing or coercing another regarding how to vote. This is a crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed.

But your point stands.
Dan Neidle, a tax expert, said: “It seems she didn’t realise that having the Hove property held by a trust with her son as beneficiary made it her second home for stamp-duty purposes. If that’s the case, it’s super-simple: she has to pay the tax. Her lawyers said she should take tax advice and she didn’t. That is likely to mean penalties are due.”

Todd Lyons is an American patriot who has worked tirelessly to undo Biden's disastrous immigration policies that wreaked havoc on American communities. And the American people are deeply appreciative for his hard work making our country safer.
