GE 2024: Challenges Ahead of Labour for the New Trajectory of British Politics

John Curtice was right again. A Labour landslide, as predicted. For Tories, heads have rolled, emotional farewell speeches delivered, and there are now five buffoons for entertainment values. So what's the niggling feeling that something isn't right?

4th July 2024 23:45 John Curtice hardly ever gets things wrong. I’ve seen it in the last few elections, and whilst I desperately hoped that the old guy was wrong and made a public fool, he never was. Let this hang in the air as I nod off on the early morning of 5th July. Labour is about to pull off a landslide election victory, and it looked even better with pissed-off Laura Kuenssberg in the…

Making history

“Analysis from the UK’s leading polling expert, Sir John Curtice, found that the Tories face losing all six of their Scottish MPs as things stand – with the SNP winning 49 (an increase of one) and Labour picking up seven overall.” Tories to return ZERO Scottish MPs at next election, in double poll whammy Which means a huge victory for British Labour in Scotland and a ‘blow’ to the SNP. You may…

The barren, unchanging landscape

The barren, unchanging landscape

There are three points that your resident realist must make about The National’s predictably breathless report of the latest polling before the Sturgeon claque arrives littering the place with streamers and drowning out all pragmatism with their shrill fantasies and hymns to the anointed one. Firstly, noting Professor John Curtice’s comments regarding the fall in support for the Union, we must…

Not just any referendum! Not just any campaign!

An old article that is still relevant today. #DissolveTheUnion #NoSection30 #DefianceNotCompliance #TakeBackScotland

Perhaps Nicola Sturgeon will listen when John Curtice tells the SNP they need to fire up the independence campaign. She has turned an arrogantly and obdurately deaf ear to the pleas and demands of the Yes movement. When a highly respected polling expert such as Professor Curtice tells her she’s letting support slip away for the want of action on the constitutional issue maybe his voice will be…

How to make an informed choice

How to make an informed choice

Whatever John Curtice may say, there is no such thing as “the economics of independence“. Firstly, economies are not static. They are dynamic. One might even say organic.
