Where they go from here I don't know, it's a nightmare for their strategists. I know their main hope is that if the economy improves and cost of living eases then everything else becomes a marginal issue but I can't see that happening in the short-medium term

Labour haven't even tried to hide it, either. Starmer said "if you don't like it, there's the door," and folks are starting to step through en masse. He gambled on the fact that the left would have nowhere to go, and he got away with it for a while, but now there is a choice. I think the greens and YP will work together where possible, so they don't contest against each other in winnable seats.

Polanksi is a really good communicator, and he's tough (talking about not backing down, not pretend hard). If he wasn't jewish, then the headlines this morning would have been about anti Semitism, rather than family voting, so I guess this will be the new lie that accompanies the left.

The fact that the right are turning into the biggest bunch of babies, who never lose elections anymore, only have them stolen, is both hilarious, and a warning.

Trump is trying to take control of the elections in the US, and farage will do the same here if he gets the chance, and this is the start of the campaign to be able to do that. I think I've got a pretty good track record when it comes to predictions, and the attempts to pretend every election can't be trusted, will only ramp up from here.
