    Who amongst us hasn’t mixed ourselves up with Kamala Harris before
     
  2. Lib Dems, Greens, Corbyn, Pro-Gaza independents, Labour in Scotland, Sinn Fein. Important to remember that the reason they're using 2015 here is because UKIP died after Brexit and hasn't had any seats since. I also don't think "why hasn't it made more progress" is a good question because the answers are pretty clear.

    First of all this is the party carrying Brexit's legacy, if you followed polls on Brexit since it happened you would think that party would get nothing. So I think them getting any kind of significant vote share is concerning. Also Reform is not a party in any real sense, especially compared to the infrastructure of the other UK parties, it's essentially a far right/Farage fan club. And they're matching the Greens in seats - the Greens are also certainly not a picture of a well run party but they've at least existed for decades.

    With all that said it does seem like analysis made today/within the week or so is liable to seem silly in a few months - just because of how monumental this shift seems to be, I'm sure we'll get some crazy unpredictable new dynamics

    When was Biden’s interview with ABC filmed? Like if there is anything really bad about it do you think some information would get leaked out before it airs?

    Biden's in my city today. Should I go tell him to drop out?

    My take on the UK election: Labour is not popular, they won because the Tories have been in control for 14 years and own every problem and have a real crisis of leadership, so this is really just a case of political gravity. Starmer is going to try to be Blair 2.0 but without Oasis, and Nigel Farage will be PM in ~5 years.

    I mean, it would be pretty funny if he found out how crazy it was and decided that was a bit too much in a morbid way

    Pretty clearly not what happened though. It's still the playbook for his next term. He just doesn't want to spook voters

    Nigel Farage will never be prime minister imo. He will win seats, he will have an influence, sadly, but I just don't think he could win a majority and Cons, Lib Dem, and Labour have said they don't want to work with him in a coallition.
