This feels rather similar to when all of these people believed that because they were Good and the Tories were Bad that the country would whir into prosperity once they arrived and delegated everything to the civil service.
@Sargon_of_Akkad Not true. This poll had you on 7% and one of your top brass called it total propaganda. You performed worse than the poll. Rupert said you could win it. You yourself said the polls were wrong because you couldn’t believe your own returns. Rupert published fake numbers. Bad L
@cfdownes_ Changed your tune. You ‘couldn’t believe the returns you were getting’ you ‘could win in Makerfield’ and you put out fake canvas returns saying you were on 25% 😭 crap operation
@LoftusSteve@HCH_Hill ‘Kemi has momentum’ is a funny take. She’s taken the party to a place where it effectively no longer exists outside London and some holdouts in the south east. Some bounce.
@alexwickham Quality SW1 journalism all round this. Spinning Downing Street’s spin that actually the result was just a bit disappointing. Nothing to see here.
I debated Demis at length on his reasons for staying in UK. The London talent pool story isn't totally convincing--key early hires (Vlad Mnih, Koray K, Daan Wierstra, and several others) relocated from other countries to move to DeepMind. The real reason for Demis's staying in London is that, emotionally, he is a British patriot. See my new book, THE INFINITY MACHINE.
