Boris would be ousted easily from his seat with such a dip.

Especially if there was a progressive alliance.

Seeing a big dip in their support is a decent result and the best we would have got there.

It also bodes well for more marginal Tory seats.

Actually it was a smaller swing than average against a governing party.

Depends a little on the nature of those by-election constituencies though doesn't it?

Getting back to the level of support seen in the 2017 election is a step in the right direction. Although if all 14,000 of those Labour voters had voted the same way yesterday it would have gone their way quite handsomely.

It's pretty simple; the drop in the Tory vote was not a big dip. It was a smaller than average dip. But also, big swings in by-elections are meaningless for future general elections.

They edited the bit out where she said "...to stop them coming over here".

There's probably some sort of tax deduction shenanigans going on too somehow.

This Arthur Labinjo-Hughes story is heart-breaking, difficult to comprehend.

This Arthur Labinjo-Hughes story is heart-breaking, difficult to comprehend.

It's absolutely horrific and hopefully this sentencing review will result in them having their sentences extended to whole-life.

It seems Jennifer Arcuri (Johnson's mistress) and Andrew Neil are having a twitter spat. She is alleging he was a guest on the Epstein plane and island. Neil has got a bit upset and has said he is getting his lawyers involved against her and anyone who retweets support for her.

Tories never cease to amaze me.

lmao never gets old

Neil went on quite the rant last night. Threatening to hunt down and sue anyone who retweets Arcuri. He seemed massively upset that it all started because he came out as pro vaccine passport, and his own side that he has cultivated for the last couple of years turned on him. It was hilarious to watch, and I suspect he wasn't entirely sober when he was tweeting.

The hilarity is, Arcuri made the claim to her 40,000 followers, he then retweeted it to his own 1m plus followers which led it to start trending. Not sure if that's going to play well through any libel trial.
