Reform Majority of 100.
Bright bit of news for the Greens despite yesterday's by-election in Holborn and St Pancras.
Squeezing a gain from the Conservatives because of a fractured right.
We told Amber Valley to back Reform yesterday.
Result: Green GAIN from Conservative
Reform finished top of the right, as we said they would, just 57 votes short.
If roughly 1 in 11 Conservative and Restore voters had backed Reform, it would have been a Reform gain.
50/50 implies Labour or Greens win within a percentage point or two.
This won't happen.
Labour will win Holborn and St Pancras by more than 10 points.

🚨 NEW: Zack Polanski says he won’t resign as Green Party leader if he loses in Holborn and St Pancras
“It doesn’t depend on it whatsoever… I think it’s probably 50-50 right now”

I don't know if there was a huge local issue at play here, but on paper this result sums up the Green's fortunes outside of cities: horrendous.
This sort of result also confirms why in seats like North Herefordshire and Waveney Valley, the Greens are doomed.
The Right (Conservative/Reform/RESTORE) is forecast to receive 49% of the vote, yet they are projected to receive 40% of the seats across GB.
The Left (Labour/LibDem/Green/Nationalist) is forecast to receive 49% of the vote. They are projected to receive 60% of the seats across GB.
The Right in Britiain has never been more divided.

@ElectCalculus@RupertLowe10 3/ The Greens appear to be going back in their rural seats of Herefordshire North and Waveney Valley with the Conservatives currently projected to take back both seats.
Those losses, however, are offset by gains in urban areas like London and Greater Manchester.
Interesting idea in principle, but how would such a card work at a supermarket or corner shop where the merchant is Tesco, Sainsbury's etc..?
You buy groceries and booze and cigarettes all in one transaction.
Almost impossible to discriminate as to what one buys.
🚨 NEW: Kemi Badenoch says the Tories would introduce a "Back to Work" debit card for Universal Credit claimants fit to work
For every 2 years worked, they would get an extra year on full benefits before a 30% cut and a card blocking alcohol, cigarettes, gambling and cash
@thetrainline , I tried to book a train ticket on your app with my Amex and your 3DS failed to load when I was completing my purchase.
I managed to buy a ticket using my desktop, but can you please look into this bug as it is inconvenient having to book on my desktop as opposed to my phone.
Thanks.

No surprises here.
Burnham wins in Holborn and St Pancras and the Greens are quashed.
The Right is divided and the left is united.
Perfect opportunity for an early election from Burnham's perspective.
My hunch is Labour wins Holborn and St Pancras by more than a 10% margin.
Exclusive for @Independent: Starmer by-election is Burnham’s ‘test run’ for early general election, according to Labour sources
