"Coalition wrangling makes it likely that #PlaidCymru will form the next Welsh government, ending 100 years of Labour hegemony, while #ReformUK is set to become the biggest party and form the official opposition."

"In the summer of 2024, this #Labour government swept into power promising change. Since then, we’ve had precious little of it – instead, we’ve seen managed decline accompanied by culture-war posturing."
"In the Gorton and Denton byelection on Thursday, a formerly rock-solid seat for #Labour is delivering a three-way race in which it could finish third behind #Reform and the #Greens.

Third, #ReformUK has peaked, which is a trend I think we will start to see in England soon. Fourth, the #Greens are a growing force."

50.4% turnout, blimey.
Some optimistic noises coming from Plaid, especially around youth turnout.
I'm still predicting disaster, but if it's one in which voters abandon my party for Plaid while rejecting Reform, I'd be content with it being a disaster merely for my party rather than for my country.
