Done a few education conferences this week and been really struck at how many people are surprised when I say Labour is definitely going to win. Most people are going to be really surprised by the scale of what happens next week.

1/ This has the potential to wipe out the Tories in some of the few seats they look like holding. Of the 20 seats with the highest % of military households, all were won by the Tories in 2019, including Sunak's seat. Latest @YouGov MRP has them holding 16 of these...

Looking at the number of military families and veterans in Sunak's constituency (I'd estimate at least 25% of voters) - he really could be in trouble in his own seat.

if you want an insight into what the party of Macmillan has become, @MariaMillerUK 's team recently delivered a leaflet to my parents' new build house promising to 'STOP OVERDEVELOPMENT'. the accompanying picture shows the literal foundations of our home being built

NEW: MP's campaign to slow down housebuilding pulled apart I don't think you appreciate the gravity of this housing crisis @MariaMillerUK - so let me tell you: The average house price in the 1980s was 3x the average salary. It's now 9x...

Galloway's level of unpopularity is pretty hilarious - over 5x as many unfavourable as favourable. His rating of -41 is essentially the mirror image of Burnham's +44.

3/ 13.6% of households in Sunak’s constituency are military households - tenth highest in E&W. The last @YouGov MRP put his majority at 9%, and that was pre-Farage.

@CAChalmers_ in a by-election in a labour seat without a labour-endorsed candidate, fptp did indeed fail to keep out an extremist. but those are hardly generalisable circumstances

If @YouGov 's own assumptions in their MRP about tactical voting hold true then this would probably be complete Tory wipeout Only time since Truss (bar one exception) that Labour <40%

days after being booted out of office after failing to deliver economic growth, opportunity and home ownership - this really is terminal for the tories… there’s probably a route back to power for them if they return to those principles and stop cowering in fear of the future

Today, Rachel Reeves announced Labour’s changes to planning and housing - and name-checked a proposed site at Worcestershire Parkway within my Droitwich and Evesham constituency. During the election campaign I expressed grave concerns about Labour's instincts to make top-down

one of the most interesting nuggets in these elections: in a borough where local politics has become dominated between a nimby conservative party and a nimby independent group, the winner in this ward ran on a platform of better infrastructure, not fewer houses

someone betting on their party gaining seats etc. is obviously different to knowing the election date and betting on that. I've not heard anything about policy in a week and this is what the campaign is about, 8 days before the election

@duncanrobinson when asked about the 'socialist supermajority' message, the group were unbothered because they've 'moved to the centre' and it means 'stability'. all conservative 2019ers in a red wall seat

@_h4rv3y he will still appear on the ballot as a labour candidate so most likely to be the tactical choice if your preference is to vote against cons
