Me in @spectator Labour must also unapologetically be a government of the left: the one that has given rights to workers and renters, the one which has nationalised the railways, the one which has refused – for the first time in 60 years – not to enter an imperial war with the US

The #MayElections results so far 🧵
TLDR: Labour abandoning progressive values is creating a vacuum driving support for Reform - whilst surging support for Plaid Cymru Greens shows the way to beat the far right is to deliver the radical progressive change voters are craving.

Waltham Forest had no Green councillors until today. Not one.
Now they have majority control of the council!? 🤯

Absolutely incredible. Only a few years ago did ‘national vote share’ calculations included by the BBC and academics #GetGreensElected

Good to see @PoliticsJOE_UK with on point commentary taking down some of the surface level opinion from today..

Labour were wiped out at the locals because of the left vote, NOT Reform UK.

Spot on from @AndyMcDonaldMP.
These results are disastrous for Labour. Voters are rejecting the party’s offer. Timid triangulation will not do in a cost-of-living crisis.
We need a change of leader tied to change of policy - for a radical economic vision, with better incomes and higher living standards.

Greens up 7% in the BBC’s projected national share of the vote and the second biggest party is surely the big story of these elections so far?
Reform’s projected share has actually gone down 4% since last year despite all of their council wins.

I made this point on Newsnight and it’s worth making repeatedly: Reform-Green undecideds are real and exist in large enough numbers to be crucial in breaking Reform’s momentum. The anti-elite, anti-system vote is what both parties can reach but legacy Westminster parties cannot.

This is a crucial piece of analysis about what is going on in the local elections.
And up and down the country as hundreds of our organisers were knocking doors, it’s what they were hearing as well.

John Curtice suggests otherwise…and by the end of today his analysis will be vindicated more clearly .

Crypto-billionaire Christopher Harborne gave Nigel Farage £5 million as a personal gift in 2024, shortly before the Reform UK leader made the decision to run as an MP.
Farage did not declare the gift - it was exposed by a Guardian investigation 🤯

1/ This analysis is very out of date. Rigorous academic studies show that in nearly 90% of cases rent controls lead to price reductions. And there are lots of examples where careful design mitigates risks to housing supply and quality.

The Chancellor is reportedly considering freezing rent on private homes in England to tackle the cost of living crisis triggered by the conflict with Iran.
But do rent controls really provide cheaper housing? Michael Simmons investigates. @Simmons__

Ed Miliband just announced that the Government will aim to delink the price of electricity from gas, something we’ve argued for since 2022.
This is bold, welcome, and targets a core problem in Britain’s electricity prices.
How this happens, though, matters enormously. 🧵

New from me: No increase in global coal power generation after Hormuz closure - solar and wind growth covered the fall in gas-fired generation. The record buildout of clean energy in 2025 helped mitigate the impact of the Hormuz closure.
🌐 NEW | Analysis: Global fossil power generation fell in March after Hormuz closure due to solar & wind growth
⚠️ Fall in gas-fired generation offset by large increases in solar & wind power, not coal

A new Bank of England report has warned that the introduction of digital price labels could mean that supermarkets introduce ‘dynamic surge pricing’ for everyday goods like food.
Is this just another excuse for big profiteering corporations to rip us off?
