I visited Makerfield for The Critic to speak with voters.
My visit predates the Survation poll but my findings tally up.
Restore is real, Reform popular and Burnham is liked*.
Burnham remains the favourite to win despite a Right wing majority here.

@AcademicAgent_X Illegal migration is up, legal migration has fallen as a result of late stage Tory measures and a change in conditions (down all across Europe) and because of people leaving the country, confusing the "net" numbers and there is no evidence potholes are fewer. Not woke though.

This is abysmal behaviour and partly why Reform can't break through 30% - most don't want to be associated with people like this who swear and shout at women in the street.

Star Wars was never meant to be sophisticated thought-provoking science fiction. Released in 1977, it paid homage to the 50s serial action shows that brought back nostalgia for the people of the time. It was basically meant as a kid's movie.
The plot was shallow and the acting was poor.
It was a cultural phenomenon in 1977 because the special effects were amazing for the time. The sound score was fantastic. And it was a welcome relief from the dark and angsty movies of the 1970s.
Trying to milk the franchise for 50 years is a bit much.

@Kittycel66 The problem is LARPERS move, noticeably, like LARPERS, whereas the guys in something like The King, in particular the cavalry, are trained stunt riders with great physicality.
English
Every movie director who makes a historical film should get a big red button labeled "CALL THE LARPERS!!!" which beams radiowaves straight into the brains of every larper in the vicinity to bring their gear and skills for the movie for it to be more accurate

Long read in @spectator today ✍️
💥 Those crucial hours on Monday evening - and how a lamb korma stiffened the PM’s resolve
💥 Streeting allies furious - branding him the Poplar Prigozhin.
💥 Burnham’s chances - “a regional accent probably boosts you by 2-3% tops” top pollster

Those saying today's woke British young will move right need to get real.
The young were nowhere near as left in the past, & moved left due to being woke on cultural issues.
Young Brits liberalised on immigration, falling out of love with the Tories.

When you are in charge of the world's 6th biggest economy with a 2.5 trillion GDP and an annual budget of hundreds of billions you cannot seriously boast about breakfast clubs, this is not an achievement, it is decline.
Bridget Phillipson@bphillipsonMP
Enjoyed Kemi’s quip about free breakfast clubs being a defining legacy of this Labour government. When the Tories deride breakfast clubs, it shows how out of touch they still are. A £450 saving is a lot for working families. Easing the morning rush makes a big difference.

It's regrettable that Attenborough - like Paddington - is a manifestation of Big Twee that I quite enjoyed as a child but that will have to be excised from the national psyche When We Win. Public smashings of Blue Planet DVDs, and so on.

Attenborough reverence seems at least 50% above what you would expect in a serious country

@owenjonesjourno In the late 2010s your side blew up the prevailing debates about nationalism/internationalism, wealth inequality (where you were winning) and cultural identity, to go all in on this, and lost.
"Bro why do you even care, it's weird to care" It was your whole thing for a decade.

Obsessing over people's genitals is weird, actually.

The Normans who arrived in 1066 numbered around 0.29% of the English population and their descendants still own all the land.
Harry Eccles@Heccles94
200,000 people in 8 years. That is only 0.29% of the UK population over 8 years. Yet it’s in the news every single day. In that same time 4,000,000 people have emigrated away from the UK (twenty times as many people). The news is in league with Farage. Sadly it’s working.

And why shouldn’t Mr Yakoob be? He clearly represents the views of his community. What’s so shocking about the predictable outcome of the state’s chosen migration policy?

There is every prospect that both of these men will be major power brokers in Birmingham politics from tomorrow.
