Spent many hours in a gallery producing Dermot Murnaghan. He was funny, smart and kind. He didn’t take any crap and knew a million times more than me what people cared about. A privilege to have been able to work with him.

It’s my privilege to work with @SophyRidgeSky on Politics Hub - so I’m biased. But this could not be more deserved or have gone to a nicer person.

If the Treasury isn’t already considering some of this, they really should be…
It is the year 3000. Council tax applies on all colonised planets based on valuations from 1991. Or we could reform property tax. Thread.

THREAD: 1. PERSONAL NEWS: Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

This from the @LordAshcroft post-election is probably the most important big picture analysis. Most Tory defectors will consider going back to the party - but many for not another 10 years. So decade in the wilderness but a remarkably short half-life for the Tory toxicity.

A truly historic day - the beginning of the Keir Starmer era - the end of 14 years of Conservative government. A privilege to have a front row seat. Now the final push with a three hour #PoliticsHub special

Update: The Conservatives lost every seat in the Corn Wall
Hey everyone, I've identified a group of seats in the far South West, all currently Conservative-held but with very interesting and unique characteristics, and some especially interesting residuals in my regression model. I propose to call it the Corn Wall.
