They mentioned the turnout being down on the bulletin I seen this morning.

If you look on the BBC News website you will have a job finding it - they do not go into detail

Once again the BBC are loathed to mention that turnout in both by-elections was well down

Tamworth went from 64% to 35% and the Labour vote was up by only 800 from 2019

Mid Bedfordshire went from 73% to 44% and the Labour vote was down from 2019

They would rather spout pish about British Labour being unstoppable

Thank you for pointing that out. I had a look this morning and I couldn't find any mention of it at all. I did a rough calculation so guessed the turnout wasn't great but it's nice to have actual figures. Obviously such low turnouts make any future predictions a bit more unpredictable.

This tweet shows that when comparing the turnout to a poll carried out in the constituency on voting intention, that turnout across the board is down.  It’s not just a case of the Tory vote stayed at home and the Labour vote turned out.   A great deal of traditional Tory voters must have voted Labour.

Aye - they have only recently started quoting Tories pointing out the low turn out

This is a huge problem being hidden by the state broadcaster - Electorate apathy can lead to all sorts of shit as History shows us

Farage was even joking that he would probably be the new Tory leader by 2026

I'm not sure he is joking.

This horrible specimen is back. There aren't many politicians/government officials out there who I would wish hurt on but she is definitely one of them. Such an evil twisted fucker

Israel take out a mosque in the west bank. Israel says it was a terroris compound 

 

The desperation of the Americans to draw Iran into all this is deeply concerning. It’s not too dramatic to say that we could be in the prelude of WW3! 🙈

Iran have been in on this from the start, they’ve been pulling Hamas strings & arming them and Hesbolah for years.

You mean the way us and the yanks have been agitating in Ukraine for years? Anyway I’m not talking about a proxy war. If bombs start dropping on Tehran that’s going to be a very different look for all of us.
