It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

My mother never advised me how to vote, but I learned, from her, the importance of the vote, that it was a path to hope, always, whether long, short, narrow or winding. She died last year: this is the 1st general election since 1955 without her 'X'. If you can, please vote today.

Looking forward to co-queering the @intergraphiabks stall with @rachelartsmith tomorrow. And... we'll be performing as part of BananaramaArtWriting at 3pm. A fun day out for those parts of families who don't vote Reform and aren't utter bell-ends.
We've just hit send on our newsletter... Not on the list or didn't receive our email? Read the latest here: mailchi.mp/a2416b5afb8c/stat…
