Spent the day in parts of Ashton and Orrell where Labour canvassers are targeting the 16% of undecided voters in Makerfield by-election. A few observations (from a single day) I found surprising - A lot of people who voted Reform just weeks ago say they are prepared to vote for Burnham

This is superb. Been thinking how Scotland fits into this - there's to be a particular pathology here that comes from the intersection with a Presbyterian puritanism making drinking something to be not enjoyed & drinkers a class of people to be punished. Which paradoxically pushes harder drinking.
