@justind56710121 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK Oki dokes. Until then I will continue on with adding to my list of predictions as and when I feel up to it. As you might tell I am feeling up to it this evening, ha. There are 2 by elections on one ballot, easy to do.... 👇🏻 whocanivotefor.co.uk/elections/loca… Who did I choose here? 🙊

@JimLodge13 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK It was only ever by-elections m8 . Don’t worry I’ll explain properly the week before. If people don’t fancy it fair enuff . I’ll make it easy enough to understand however

2 Council By-Elections this week, both Reform defences: ➡️ Narborough & Whetstone (Leicestershire) ➡️ Cramlington South West (Northumberland)

@justind56710121 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK 2/2: Of the first 26 shown on the C/Data list I have now predicted for 10 actual by-elections. Without anymore (which there must be from the remaining 24 I will look at) 10 is plenty. Chief Whip here is trying to make the fun easier and quicker.

@JimLodge13 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK I think you are looking a bit too deeply into it JIMO. For every seat just make a prediction as to which party you think will win it . Don’t bother doing too much research as to who the candidates are. It’s only a bit of fun and not meant to take too long.

@gu41257530 @justind56710121 @ElectionMapsUK The 8 I have looked at and done predictions for thus far are for May 7th: Broomfield and The Walthams Little Hadham & The Pelhams St Mark's & St Peter's Caister South Onslow Flamstead End & Turnford Bentley Heath & The Royds Itchingfield, Slinfold & Warnham

@JimLodge13 @justind56710121 @ElectionMapsUK 2/2 election (term of the councillor is regularly ending in May) and one by election (councillor stepped down who wouldnt face re-election in May) —> two elections for one ward

@gu41257530 @justind56710121 @ElectionMapsUK 2/2: ....candidates for a by election for 8 elections of the 20. What do we think PK/Justy to just doing predictions for those by elections that don't have local elections too? Would be less work then. As said I have found 8 of 20, with another 30 on C/Data to look through.

@gu41257530 @justind56710121 @ElectionMapsUK 1/2: Hmmmm. Would that mean the by election and local election are being held as one contest? Your example is a very helpful point to go by. Two votes would mean two seats, right? ..... 👇🏻 whocanivotefor.co.uk/elections/loca… I've looked at the first 20 on Council Data and can only find...

@justind56710121 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK Just heard Nigel say... ''These people haven't got a Scooby Doo'', hahaha, he makes me laugh.

@JimLodge13 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK Rumours about Katie lam and ester mcvey ( the latter I Neva thought was on the cards)

@justind56710121 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK A shame indeed. Maybe it is temporary. Time will tell. In other news, I just thought that there have been no sitting MP defections to Reform for ages. And Nigel has said the cut off point would be May 7th, only 3.5 weeks away. I wonder if there will be another....

@gu41257530 @JimLodge13 @ElectionMapsUK It could be for absolutely anything and he was active in Emaps mths before I approached him to join. He’d regularly comment on other posts so it does seem a bit strange. Still we all hav our own lives away from this so who knows ?? Perhaps he’ll c come back in the future. Shame

@justind56710121 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK As you say maybe he is taking a sabbatical and as such his account is just deactivated for a bit. Yes, we have a great blend right now. Although I wish there was a certain individual in the COT who I could playfully tease, hehe.

@JimLodge13 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK I was only talking to him on Friday seemed ok. Who knows, I’ll keep his record active for now and let’s see. I’m not gonna bother recruiting anyone else now JIMO , they’d be too far behind. And it’s selecting the right blend isn’t it??

@justind56710121 @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK Btw, I am confused. I just went to check to see if candidates have been updated for the 7th May by-elections on ''Who can I vote for'' (WCIVF) I checked the first 3 listed on Open Council data (Basingstoke etc) on WCIVF and they show as a local elections, 2 candidates per party

@gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK Yes his acct is greyed out. Perhaps he is having a sabbatical

@gu41257530 @justind56710121 @ElectionMapsUK Our pvt chat has vanished too. How very strange. All seemed settled and well in the land of Charlie lad. Oh well. Get recruiting Justy m8 :)

@justind56710121 @ElectionMapsUK Do you know where Charlie is, can‘t find him anymore on X?🤔

@gu41257530 @justind56710121 @ElectionMapsUK And then there were 6.... 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ElectionMapsUK Reform for both as JD already knows. @justind56710121

@AlbionSalter @LabourMarina @SadiqKhan @LabourSouthwark @sezking78 The council block I live in with other leaseholders and tenants here in Rotherhithe, we are being charged an outrageous amount for service charge, keeps going up £100's each year, yet some services not even being provided for at all or with reasonable care and skill at best.

@LabourMarina @SadiqKhan @LabourSouthwark @sezking78 To save outgoing Labour Cllrs & in a desperate bid to stem the exodus, Khan whipped Assembly Members & MPs to rally behind a propaganda campaign. Southwark in worse state- Housing management, evidenced bullying, malfeasance, branch civil war- #Rotherhithe decimated

Great that news that @SadiqKhan is investing £30m to bring youth clubs back into every borough. ‘Youth Lates’ will give young Londoners safe spaces to go after school, in the evenings and at weekends, with food, activities, mentoring and targeted support all under one roof.

@choosername @justind56710121 @Robe5283 @gu41257530 @jcwf1 @CharliePDG I stick with my prediction, early GE next year, and Reform will be in Government with a majority. But, a big worldwide financial event to happen before then too.

@justind56710121 @Robe5283 @JimLodge13 @gu41257530 @jcwf1 @CharliePDG Every time I hear a new Green policy, I have to take a few breaths to stop my blood pressure from going up too much. If they get in - it would be an absolute disaster.

@choosername @JimLodge13 @Robe5283 @gu41257530 @jcwf1 @CharliePDG Hi guys obviously the result didn’t go the way anyone expected last night so little point issuing a weekly point summary. I will update the league table later , however obviously no changes .

@Robe5283 @justind56710121 @choosername @gu41257530 @jcwf1 @CharliePDG ''I can only hope these greens are a secret psy-op'' .... Ooooh I saaaay. Actually, I do believe much of what we see and hear pertaining worldwide is to wake up those who several years ago still in a hypnotised trance. Yet here in 2026 way too many still are. I cannot keep up.

@justind56710121 @choosername @JimLodge13 @gu41257530 @jcwf1 @CharliePDG I hadn't even heard about the restrictions and penalties on dog ownership. What are they going to put your family puppy down if you cant afford £500 a year?! 😮 I can only hope these greens are a secret psy-op to give the false illusion that Starmer is actually reasonable 🤣

@AlbionSalter Takes me back. Used to go there every now and then in the mid to late 90s when my then landlord was SLFHA (lived at Gwent Court for a bit, then Lavender House (opposite globe wharf (old rice mill) which was still derelict when I moved in) from 1997-2006. Recall the P11 bus route.

Dock Office, Surrey Docks Road, Canada Est pre dictatorship #Rotherhithe #SE16 #Bermondsey #Millwall ⚽️

@gu41257530 @choosername @justind56710121 @Robe5283 @jcwf1 @CharliePDG Thanks for that PK :) 16 candidates, and 3 places available. Could Reform come to Rotherhithe? Will be very interesting. As said, LD's are running a very hard campaign with leafleting. My porch is heavily littered with their literature (too poorly to attend to any post.)

@JimLodge13 @choosername @justind56710121 @Robe5283 @jcwf1 @CharliePDG southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/… Official website of the council Generally out of 20 boroughs I so far looked up at the statement of persons nominated the amount of Reform candidates is in Southwark the lowest… In some boroughs Greens are struggling to find enough candidates
