Two obvious trends from Thursday's elections:
The Fascist Frog & ReformUK Ltd have gained most in areas where the Brexit vote was most evident;
The Green Party of England & Wales has done best where voters are younger.
(Given that the Brexit vote itself was quite strongly age-determined a decade ago, we might conclude that the GPEW is in a better demographic position than Reform?)

@distinctdipole@tech.lgbt And when we were young, impressionable and in school, we were told that the UK was the best country in the world, along with other lies.
That exceptionalism led to the idiocy of #Brexit, inter alia.

Guess who persuaded you to perform this hideous acts of Brexit self-harm - Farage.
Guess who is trying to persuade you to perform another hideous acts of self-harm by voting ReformUK - Farage (after receiving £5 million from a non-dom crypto billionaire).
Don't fall for it again - vote AGAINST Reform.
Bring the greedy would-be tyrant down.

Not sure how much it's a case of women being more liberal than men over issues like immigration. I suspect it’s more that they understand that their own rights are at risk if they back illiberal trends.
During the run up to the Brexit referendum I heard some people from ethnic minorities express hostility to the EU and some migrants. But they voted Remain because they perceived the Brexiteers as hostile to them too.
Complacency about this is dangerous. There is usually a weak spot. The political lesbians who found themselves marginalised in the lesbian community became the vanguard of the anti-trans camp.
More generally, when people want change but don't know what change they want or need (and also fear it) they are dangerous.

The UK government's job is to
1) Argue about #mandelson
2) Allow (pop-up) banks like Revolut
3) Give us 4p off a pint off beer
4) Flood the country with cars you have never heard of
5) Build unnecessary railways.
6) Ignore potholes
8) Pay taxes to the USA for useless defence equipment
9) Reverse #brexit without gammon finding out
10) Fund Mastercard and Visa
Did I mention Madelson

It doesn't say one single currency, nor one economic policy, nor one social policy.
It says one (free) market, which I agree with.
How sad that the morons (read Boris Johnson, and Conservatives) that negotiated this decided that #Brexit was to get rid of everything, including the tariff and import restriction free EU market.
This single thing has resulted in the UK having no reasonable, discernible benefit from #Brexit.

history rhymes. this passage from Dalrymple's history of the East India Company is about Britain in 1599 and the excised word is 'religion', but you could easily be talking about #Brexit today.

This is getting ridiculous.
The UK should just swallow its pride and submit the application as EU candidate country.

Next time the MET whine about being understaffed. Next time Starmer tells us he pledges to cut violent crime, crack down on knife crime. Next time you see a mob robbing a shop and the local police promising to be more viable - Ask yourself is this the best use of police resources- they can all fuck off. Protesting against a genocide by a monstrous Israeli regime, led by a homicidal maniac is never a crime - our government and those police officers should be fucking ashamed of this

#Brexit - the 'Gift' that keeps on giving...
It might be legal but is it right?
And is it politic, to continue to isolate the Untied Kingdom against increasing geopolitical threats from Putin's Russia and now the United States of Trump?
Exactly how is this Labour government showing it's EU-friendly and totally different from the xenophobic Nastiz they replaced?

Congratulations to the Green Party for once again proving people don’t like reform after seeing them in action, despite what nige says. This election, you’ll remember was triggered when the previous reform incumbent was jailed for controlling behaviour to wife. Another reform scumbag
