Exasperated, not angry.
I looked at that last night, inputting similar figures. It came out with Reform on 2 seats - Ashfield and Rochdale. They won’t win either of them, even if this poll is accurate.

Go Faiza!!Yay, Faiza Shaheen is standing as in independent in Chingford
‘How can they treat people like this?’ Faiza Shaheen on Labour – and why she’s running as an independent
The Labour party suddenly and controversially stripped her of the chance to be one of its MPs last week. She talks about why she’s still determined to represent Chingford and Woodford Greenwww.theguardian.com

Oh lib Dems official opposition despite being on 10% which is odd

This Machine Kills Progressives
The Reform polling reminds me of the LibDem polling prior to the 2010 election, with Labour questioned about perhaps being pushed into third place. In the end fhe Labour vote actually held up pretty well.
It might very well happen differently this time and Reform do finish up there, but there is a difference between saying Reform now and on 4th July.

Yeah, her treatment was appalling and also nonsensical. The outcome is probably that the Tories will now keep the seat. And that's entirely on starmer, not Faiza.

Makes sense if Reform are surging that they'll take a few off Labour as well as lots off the Tories. They'll take more votes from Labour than the LibDems.
That poll gives Labour the same share of the vote as Corbyn got in the 2017 election, fwiw.

putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
Rail fares are extortionate and Tories - blue or red - won't reduce them no matter what crumbs they throw people. And accessible rail travel in Britain is a pipe dream.

LibDems becoming the opposition has two good outcomes imo: a strong force for reforming the voting system and the start of the rejoin the EU journey.

You know the Tories are in trouble, when it seems they are even losing the support of The Spectator.

Oh huh so after 1.4 million spent on a legal case they couldn't possibly actually win, and having parachuted their head of legal into a safe seat, Labour give up.
Guess the evidence of how fucked up some people who have nice seats in Parliament acted doesn't need to be relitigated now

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
SPAD's usually end up controlling the department twitter accounts.
In the MOD there was a big fight over it, which the CS/military won - so the SPAD's set up another departmental account called the MOD Press Office, which mainly just tweets highly dubious rebuttals.
I think Shapps might have overuled the original SPAD defeat, but I don't keep a close eye on it...
