Professor Paula Surridge of Bristol Uni says you should take this one seriously as all the modelling has been done by Chris Hanratty who did all the constituency-level breakdowns after the referendum.

Remember, at this level those seats separating Tory and Lib Dem will be super-marginal. Shouldn’t take much to move them.

This isn’t a criticism of you specifically, but I don’t think people disseminating polls do a good enough job emphasizing margin of error and its effects These polls could be 100% accurate, and still encompass results where parties either double or half their projected seat count.

The people following me here are all smart. They’ll know that.

I thought this chart you shared from @samfr.bsky.social was fascinating to test best case/worst case.

Also interesting to see how not-solid Reform's numbers are. We could keep them to 0 seats with a bit of luck.

That would be a good result. I’ll take a Tory in Clacton to keep Farage out.

I'm rooting for Nigel Farage and Giles Watling running neck and neck while Jovan Owusu-Nepaul comes through the middle for the win.

And... I've just caught up on the latest news there. FUCK!

I wonder if that could have happened. But Labour pulled Jovan and all resources out of the constituency. He’s in the West Mids now, I think.

Yes. Starmer couldn’t bear Jovan getting more attention than him it seems.

Clacton must be a vile place

Genuinely unconvinced rather is what was the cause.

That just seems petty and dumb
