@LeonardBriscoe3 Amazing how many caring women like Tessa Jowell and Jacqueline Smith marry wrong’uns.

@DavidGauke @ConHome Nonetheless, assuming he’d be a marginal improvement on Starmer, Kemi should withdraw the current candidate and ask Tory voters, purely as a one off, to vote Labour, for the good of the country.

Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS
Watching “A Bridge Too Far,” and damn you could never get a cast like James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Edward Fox, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O'Neal, and Robert Redford all in one place easily again.

@guy_herbert I think it’s more signalling to the tribe that this is a Bad Person and We are Good People than genuine outrage.

All the Good People®️ are so outraged by something the Makerfield Reform candidate once said, that I am now having to find out what it was, even though I know it is probably not shocking or even interesting. Have they considered their fussing might be counterproductive?

I feel that my parental responsibilities should include introducing my sons to the Dirty Harry film series.

@mrianleslie Quite. I wonder how many Starmerites will be voting Reform to keep out Burnham.

@AaronBastani The Tories are patriots and have thus an unstated agreement to vote for Burnham.

@worstall Not sure you have to pay Polly to vote Labour, really.

Well, that's Polly Toynbee's vote assured. Not that Sure Start ever achieved anything but she does love it so. So, you know, spend £1.7 billion of our money to buy Polly's vote. A bargain, eh?
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting

Every child deserves the best start in life, but the next generation face worse prospects than the last. That’s why I’d restore Sure Start - with an extra £1.7bn funded by the wealth tax that actually works - to help close the gap between the richest and poorest backgrounds.

@Whatfroth @residentadviser Agreed. And like Boris, I get the impression he really likes being liked. Be interesting to see how he handles being unpopular, when it comes.

As I say, Burnham is a nice guy. He’s also got that Boris and Ken Clarke quality to him. Normal guy. Everyman. Broad appeal. Been a decent Mayor. Has the *potential* to be a good PM for the Labour Party. His Sensible detractors are wrong to downplay it. But he is full of shit.
Chris Rose@ArchRose90

The potential next Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, publicly opposed the Supreme Court judgement on trans people and criticised the guidance issued by the EHRC. He will be just as bad as Keir Starmer when it comes to protecting women and girls.

@JohnLoony @220_d_92_20 @PJDunleavy So some voters’ second preferences count, and some don’t, just because they’re backing someone still in with a shout of winning. We’re going round and round here. I am actually quite sympathetic to voting systems other than FPTP, but this strikes me as a significant weakness.

@ChillingOutProd @220_d_92_20 @PJDunleavy They do get their vote counted twice - once in the first round, and once in the second round. Just like the voters whose votes mostly transferred gets transferred from one candidate in the first round to a different candidate in the second round.

Andy Burnham has endorsed the Supplementary Vote as his preference for reforming UK elections in our multi-party age after SV’s in decades of English mayoral elections always created legitimate outcomes. This free chapter explains how it works from p.62. press.lse.ac.uk/chapters/e/10.…

@ChillingOutProd @220_d_92_20 @PJDunleavy In SV, everybody gets to vote twice. People who vote for a minor candidate can then vote for a main candidate. The people who voted for a main candidate in the first round have the luxury of voting for the same candidate again.
