Dundee Central - the safest seat in Scotland - is an SNP HOLD, but with a hugely reduced margin. Chris Law's majority goes from 32.6% to 1.7%...15.4% swing to Labour. Tories fifth behind Lib Dems and Reform, Alba only manage 2.1%.
I think this 100k number the Tories have invented re: Labour migration is quite an important test for those bits of the media that attempt impartiality. They need to say outright that it has no basis whatsoever and that they won't repeat it or use it against Labour spokespeople.
Labour is winning where we have never won before.
The incredible, wonderful, hardworking Debbie Whitworth is elected in Olney 👏
Labour GAINS Olney ward from the Conservatives!! 🌹
Had such a rewarding day with the @MKLabourParty team in Olney! Thanks to Jen and @AkashNayee for getting me through the last hour! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Debbie! 🤞

Imagine for one second a country facing a chronic shortage of blood tests, affecting perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, and it going almost completely without comment because the media’s no longer discussing the political decision which caused it
Instinctive anti-Starmer nonsense on here is now almost beyond parody. Leader of the opposition is accosted by an anti-lockdown thug, conducts himself in a dignified way and then sends a witty tweet about it. The response: STARMER SELF-OWNED AGAIN.
Somehow I've stumbled my way into becoming a candidate at the local elections in May. If you live in Rushden, watch this space! It's really time to kick out the Tories that bankrupted the county council and caused this mess. #VoteLabour

Carrying on my 'first song I hear on NYD defines how the year's going to go' tradition, I'm hopefully heading for a 'perfect' year 🤞Happy New Year All!
