The Labour Party would need a record swing in votes at the next general election to win a majority in the House of Commons, according to analysis of the new electoral map.
The next election will be fought on new constituency boundaries, redrawn to reflect population changes and to try to even out voter numbers in each area. An analysis of these changes for BBC News, ITV News, Sky News and the Press Association suggests Labour needs a national swing of 12.7% to win with just a small majority. That's considerably higher than the 10.2% achieved by Tony Blair in 1997 and higher even than the 12% achieved by Clement Attlee in 1945. The swing from the Conservatives to Labour would need to be uniform, to follow the same pattern everywhere, with other parties seeing no change in performance since 2019. In practice, the picture will be more complicated, so this is a rough guide. But a uniform national swing has been a reliable model for general elections in the UK over a long period of time.

MPs are continuing to debate the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda - and deter Channel crossings - ahead of a crucial vote later.
Downing Street says it's "confident" the bill will pass at its third and final reading this evening, despite a major rebellion on Tuesday. Two Conservative deputy chairmen quit their roles to join about 60 Tory MPs backing an amendment toughening the legislation. If the bill does pass - as is expected - it will next go to the House of Lords which can suggest amendments. Earlier, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer clashed over the bill at Prime Minister's Questions, with the Labour leader saying Tuesday's rebellion had left the PM "brutally exposed" Meanwhile, the president of Rwanda tells the BBC he will return UK taxpayers' money if no asylum seekers arrive - but any challenges the bill faces are the "UK's problem"

It's a much better word than "Terrorist", isn't it Yousaf.

I suspect this woman is wasting her breath. Rishi simply isn't interested.

Britain must prepare for war. America won’t save us this time
The first important premise to understand about these warnings, and Admiral Bauer’s in particular, is that the threat to Nato is no longer a shared threat independent of geography. As the centre of gravity within Washington decision-making shifts decisively eastward to counter China in a longer-term struggle in the Indo-Pacific, the mood music coming out of Washington is that Europe should be able to look after its own security affairs, with minimal assistance from the US. Given the scale difference between Russia and China, and that the collective economies of European Nato are well in excess of four times that of Russia’s, this is not an unreasonable position to take. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...-us-this-time/

I appreciate the increase is minimal but the principal in itself reeks of Tory favouritism.

This worries me because I'm fresh out of new ideas and I've exhausted current financial allowances.
