General Election ...

They can then pretend they influence something. Backing the humped losers would show clearly how little influence they now have.

Financial Times also just en Labour.

The Sunday Times endorses Labour. The Murdochs hedging their bets once again.

Thoughts and prayers with with Tony Gallagher at what must be a very difficult time for him...

The prime minister says he has "worked his socks off" during the campaign, while the Labour leader says he wants a "mandate for change".

Large amount of politically naive people falling for Farage’s “we were stitched up the bloke is an actor” spiel after one of the many Reform activists was shown up to be a massive racist. Apologists everywhere afraid to admit or ashamed of what they’re actually supporting with Farage.

Sad to report Reform posters are popping up quite regularly around where I live. Not that the Reform candidate has a snowflake's hope in hell of being elected. It's sad to realize these people live among us.

Brazenly cognitively barren.

If it was illegal for politicians to lie, what would they be able to do?

The Welsh gov’s reasons for opposing it are in the article. You may agree or disagree but it’s there.

I would be shocked if Labour get 25% of the votes.

Well have some pinches because the latest (and probably last) poll for Wales puts Labour on 40%. Centre left or left wing parties combined (Labour, Libdem, Plaid, Green) are on 67%. Right wing parties combined (Tories, Reform) on 32%. We’ll know by Friday morning.

Centre left/left parties would have had a permanent majority in the U.K. for decades if there weren’t so many of them fracturing the voter base. Hopefully we’ll see some mass tactical voting this time round.
