That Joshua Bonehill-Paine is a suitable Tory candidate but Grant Shapps and Gavin Barwell have been excluded is quite a good indicator of how many seats the Tories will realistically regain at the next election.

The Tories didn't even try to compete with Reform or Restore. An emerging feature of multi-party politics is that it seems parties are increasingly making all-or-nothing decisions about deploying resources.

Here's the spending share for the final week before the Mayoral by-election. Feels like a big miss from the Greens to spend so much for just 12% (and elimination) in the first round. They're usually more conservative in deploying resources when they're not going to win.

Was ALWAYS clear that Polanski lacked the temperament to be a serious political leader and that his social media use was unhealthy at best. The Golders Green tweet was diabolical, the harassing people that express a negative opinion pathetic, but today's incident should be immediately disqualifying.

Electoral commission needs to stamp down on the behaviour because they're getting worse. Canvassing returns presented as polling data for a council ward is one thing, doing it for a metro region of 2 million people is fucking disgusting.
