A dry squid wouldn't last long.

Memento Mori, Caesar.

Unless it's basking in the glow of the eggcorns thread.

Our two (hardworking and genuinely fine examples of how councillors should behave) LDs both won, which was a relief.

If Nelson is right, Marmite Farage is even more loathed by those who despised him in 2016. Reform swept the board in Wigan but on 46% of the vote. That's not that impressive for an area that was 70% Leave. Can't see Farage has gained any new electoral demographics when you drill down.

Trouble is that 52% in a referendum is a narrow victory but in an election it's a landslide.

What new demographics (beyond the Boris/Nigel 2019 Brexit coalition) has Farage picked up in this election?
