In regard to GG, not so surprised he failed to hold on to his seat, facing an experienced and local candidate for Labour. GG got his protest vote, and like a meteor flashing across the sky, came rapidly to earth rather burnt out. As I've mentioned before I've found his bombast very hard to take, perhaps the electorate felt the same. . In his interview with Piers Morgan he went deep down the rabbit hole of conspiracy with the Bucha massacre. Now I have no idea what actually happened here, but neither does he,, and he'd have been wiser to keep his council. There'll be few in the House of Commons who'll miss him, though personally I would still have liked him to have been there - one less hypocrite in a house of 650 (-minus a few other honourable mentions of course) .
However many these points in regard to the shaky nature of Starmer's huge majority have been made elsewhere, in the face of all the huge converging issues facing the country,. even David Dimbleby sort of inferred that in the interview he gave which I've posted here. .
The idea that the Tories would merge with Reform? Some Tories will no doubt defect, but I believe there are still enough Tories to find that idea totally repugnant, and would never do so, it would magnify the split and that would be their final demise.
