It always blows my mind that LBJ’s “you have to be able to count” wasn’t just a laconic truism, but a thing that dozens of plots in politics have failed to do.

This bun is awaiting a tender kiss on his forehead 🥰

they are friends, good friends

Tim Short, a former investment banker and water industry specialist, said new investors could come forward but “it’s the sort of people who will shoot you in the face as soon as look at you”. So it's all going well at Thames Water, as you can see. Excellent explainer here: on.ft.com/4bVRs5r

Some thoughts on Rachel Reeves' "Blimey, you've had some right cowboys in here!" act and the Conservative leadership election in today's newsletter:

If you've not read this already, you're doing election analysis wrong. Read and learn, make the brain big.

I decided to get one of those substack things people have and write about how Labour's victory is a reminder of how party strategy changes in a multi party, volatile environment. There's a bit about the 1977 Dutch election if you like that sort of thing open.substack.com/pub/election...

When the France election results are good

This is very Sim City 4, isn't it?

“Winds of Hope” by Tim Garland #nowplaying #radio3

Reckon the Lib Dems should get just over £2.2 million in Short Money this Parliament (annually). It was a touch over £1 million annually in the last. Going to be a gear change for the party to have those extra resources.

My extremely sleep-deprived brain rendered the name of the new Labour MP for South-West Norfolk as "Termy Jermy" and now that's his name, he's now termy jermy forever

A couple disconnected thoughts now I've had some more sleep: -British party politics are becoming more Dutch and that is breaking our electoral system -The most under-reported important local election result of the Parliament was the 2023/2024 Independent figure

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

If the Lib Dems have in fact won Inverness (we won't know for sure until tomorrow) then they will have exactly nonupled their seats from what they were assumed to have under the new boundaries - 8 goes 9 times into 72.

Feels sensible to simply appoint shadows to their respective portfolios wherever possible. Eases the start of things.

real eepy hours today, lads

Just savoring last night, may be for months

Going to stay up for the last 15 seats. "Were you up for Truss?" feels like the 'Portillo' moments, right?
