@spectator @DouglasKMurray @michaelgove I'm not claiming it's in any way actionable, but are you happy to be commissioning this sort of racist drivel? ☝️

@spectator Hey @DouglasKMurray, my parents moved here in the 80s & I was born here. Am I even less British than your example? I consider myself British and take some pride in it - can you imagine why a white guy telling me I'm not really British might seem a bit racist?

Like all regular people in America's heartland, JD Vance studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and wrote a bestseller trashing that community. Come on. I can't wait to debate the guy—that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up.

@dlandoncole is 100% right. Even with perfect polling (which nobody had), General Election volunteers aren't fungible. Labour lost votes in winnable seats because the strategy went too far and ignored conditions on the ground. If we want to continue to win, this must change.

Morgan McSweeney’s extremely efficient vote targeting strategy was clearly successful – but it wasn’t *perfect*. Could the ruthless approach taken by the Labour campaign have cost it an even larger majority? A guest post by @dlandoncole (FREE TO READ!) takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/labours-targ…

Friends on the right of the party should read this smart, dispassionate take on the necessity of a broader church than we've been tolerating in the last few months 👇

What happens if you keep punching your own supporters? Ask the Tories economist.com/britain/2024/0…

@duncanrobinson Yes and it allows us to make sensible inter-country comparisons. Sure you're on $100k but you have to sink a bunch of it into health insurance 🙃

@Ashley_Walsh It's between someone who definitely couldn't win against someone who maybe couldn't. Given it's an all or nothing, I'll take it 🤷‍♂️

The 'empty quadrant' is one of the most replicated findings in housing research. There expensive cities that don't build. There are cheap cities that do build. And there are no cities that build lots of housing and still see very high housing costs.

@zanwar87 Not sure, I follow a lot of people so I can only assume it's a random selection! I can only really be sure of seeing tweets which tag me...

@zanwar87 I dunno Zarina, I just reply to what I can see which I can add something to! I sometimes post about Gaza although I don't know as much about it as I ought to, eg this x.com/willthong/stat…

If true, outrageous - how is this consistent with the policy of respecting a rules-based international order we were promised?

I find it wild that this person thinks it's controversial to teach kids, of any age, that people can have 2 daddies or that someone might transition from being a man to a woman. Utterly bananas denial of reality.
