Hi! I’ve been tweeting a lot about the state of math recently, but failing to really express the whole of my opinion. So I went and wrote about it long form. Here it is! Check out my first substack article :D

YouGov / Sky News / Times voting intention
*Greens leapfrog Labour into second place*
RefUK 23% (-1)
GRN 21% (+4)
LAB 16%(-2)
CON 16%(-2)
LDEM 14%(nc),
Pollster note: This is the highest we've had the Greens, the first time we've had them in second. It is also the lowest we have had Labour.
In terms of how meaningful this is, it is obviously likely driven to a significant extent by the publicity from the Denton & Gorton by-election, as well as any impact it has from the Greens appearing a more viable option and less of a wasted vote. It remains to be seen to what extent it sticks, or whether it fades again as the immediate publicity boost recedes.
Sunday/Monday
Well, math terminology being what it is, something like this was bound to happen eventually.
(If you're curious about why these balls are so puny, the full talk is up on YouTube)

Changes w/ 2024
🚨 NEW: Labour's General Secretary has told an all-staff call that the Greens have no chance of winning the Gorton and Denton by-election on Thursday
"The Green Party are clearly high on the Class A drugs they want to legalise if they think they’re in this race. We know they’re not. They know they’re not. Our promise rate is very strong and we're seeing lots of anti-Reform undecideds come over to Labour. A vote for the Greens is a vote for Tommy Robinson’s candidate - Matt Goodwin"
Im proud to be English and even prouder to be British. But these flags right now are not showing patriotism- they are a show to intimidate our communities and cause division. If youre actually patriotic... Come and help make this country better. The organisations below... (cont)
@Para0234@philosophymeme0 You guys just say shit lol. Rice and beans are a complete protein. Tofu is a complete protein. No problems with absorption - you don't know what you're talking about. If they're so critically lacking why do vegan bodybuilders exist?
@HeyImJanni Ist die Situation echt so schlimm im Deutschland? Als Engländer kann ich sagen dass die Regierung hier in bezug auf Palästina ebenfalls autoritär ist (sie haben Palestine Action als Terrorgruppe eingestuft..) aber nicht so dass die Polizei ein Kind mit Flagge festnehmen würden..
My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread
