@michaelkearsley.bsky.socialQuite a good result for both #LabourParty and #GreenParty, #ConsParty will be pleased to have come 3rd and saved their deposit, #ReformUK held their deposit and came 4th, #LibDems evidently got squeezed and lost their deposit, very bad result for GG who was a long way short of holding his deposit.

@michaelkearsley.bsky.social#ConsParty, #ReformUK , #RestoreGB and #LibDems.
I suppose GG is just looking to get his name in news, did he hope to be in with a chance? Doesn't seem that way, maybe 3rd, it's speculated he might split #GPEW vote, but he probably splits #LabourParty & RUK vote as well.
@michaelkearsley.bsky.social#HolbornandStPancrasPatliamentaryByElection, likely #LabourParty win, #GPEW 2nd, but is question of how Labour vote, is, could be better than #GE2024, or might be quite low.
A number of parties with no chance of winning will be looking to save deposit and beat each other.

@policypress.bsky.socialCommitments and targets on child poverty need to remain a priority, and families should be treated as an authority on whether those commitments are making a difference.

@michaelkearsley.bsky.social#LabourParty naturally will say that it is due to effects of policies implemented before they entered office and there is usually a delay and that it will take time for effects of their policies to feed through.

@michaelkearsley.bsky.social#ConservativeNationals had a majority from #GE1918 even though it was still a coalition, continued until #GE1922 when they broke into party lines, #LiberalParty reunited & #ConsParty won.
#JRClynes who had been a coupon candidate wasn't opposed by #LabourParty and became party leader for a bit.
@michaelkearsley.bsky.social#LabourParty, #IrishNationalists & #LiberalParty (which split) left govt in 1915, #DavidLloydGeorge formed #LiberalNationals and was #PM. Some #ConsParty MPs sat in opposition, #JRClynes remained a govt minister.
Was #CouponElection at #GE1918 with mostly #ConservativeNationals & #LiberalNationals.
@michaelkearsley.bsky.social#GE1923 & #GE1929 both resulted in #LibLabPact, #GE2010 by #ConDemCoalition #GE2017 followed by #ConsParty pact with #DUP.
Informal coalition of #Liberals, #LabourParty & #IrishNationalists emerged in 1911, #ConsParty entered gov in 1914, in 1915 #HerbertAsquith was replaced by #DavidLloydGeorge.
@michaelkearsley.bsky.socialCould be #MinorityGovt without any pacts, as happened after the two 1910 elections and #GEFeb1974. Has to be said that the #GrandCoalition of #LabourParty & #ConsParty would be unlikely, not impossible though.
I think Labour will probably get some kind of majority, maybe similar result to #GE2005.
@michaelkearsley.bsky.socialUnlikely that #GPEW will end up in govt, if #LabourParty lose 100 seats, they'd be not far short of a majority, they'd likely have support of #SDLP, likely option of #LibLabPact or #LibLabCoalition, likely that would be a comfortable majority, #PlaidCymru & #APNI likely favourable.

@liamomaraiv.bsky.social#WinstonChurchill's government suspended the constitution of #BritishGuiana (now #Guyana) and sent troops to overthrow its newly-elected #leftist government on #ThisDayInHistory in 1953, despite that government proposing policies no more radical than those of the UK #LabourParty.
