“I think he’s a weak leader”

Must watch clip from Michael Crick on #novaralive tonight about how he’s on the Labour right - but won’t be voting for Starmer’s Labour.

Bizarre that only him, Steve Richards & Oborne from legacy media offer this analysis.

Luke Akehurst has called the UN antisemitic, accused Human Rights Watch of making things up, & claimed that Palestinian victims of military attacks are crisis actors.

Keir Starmer talks about ‘country first’, but for Akehurst you have to ask ‘which one?’ novaramedia.com/2024/06/03/mee…

As Steve Howell observes this has Corbyn on 8% and Galloway on 3%! 🤣

Does MRP and predictive modelling struggle with independents?

I don’t doubt Reform can win seats *on the day* (indeed UKIP accomplished that many times) but they have very little data for nearly every seat and have next to no operation with postal votes…

Any kind of parliamentary presence after July 4 given that would be extraordinary.

This is cinema!

This was one reason why I thought an early November election was very likely.

Likely lower rates, yes; and poor weather might undermine Labour’s GOTV; but also - Farage would be off the pitch and in the US.

But, actually, the Tories really were dumb enough to call an earlier

If he’d done this months ago they’d be getting a cluster of seats I suspect. Very strange!

How many people like this will be MPs in the next Labour government?

People like this man are candidates purely because of factional support - not their personal merits.

Very significant. Greens look strong in Brighton Pavilion & Bristol Central (long way to go!) but winning in Waveney Valley would be 🤯

They won less than 3k votes there in 2019 & it’s a strong leave seat.

Not impossible tho: greens are largest party on east Suffolk council.

Keir Starmer confirms he is prepared to destroy the planet, & he says nuclear weapons are the No.1 issue for a Labour govt

Asked about Lammy voting against Trident in 2016, KS says hes changed the party. The party backed Trident in both 17&19 so how have you changed it exactly?

With Mexico’s AMLO replaced by protege Claudia Sheinbaum, a trained climate scientist & PhD in energy engineering, you’ve got to think her hardest job is…how on earth do you keep up with these approval ratings!

An incredibly popular president, from the left.

And imagine if, on the same day, Faiza Shaheen’s *husband* told campaigners for the safe return of Israeli hostages to ‘go to Israel’.

It would be career-ending.
