Final Prediction: Labour Majority of 176
My final prediction of the election campaign, based on an average of national polls weighted by the situation on the ground in recent local elections.
Greens set to take Bristol Central – Poll
A new constituency-level poll by WeThinkPolling / Omnisis shows voters in Bristol Central are backing the Green Party’s Carla Denyer over the Labour Incumbent, Thangam Debbonaire, by 49% to 40%.
Prediction: Greens will out-perform nationwide polls, win 4 seats
As Labour and the Conservatives take a tumble in the opinion polls, it becomes harder and harder to predict the outcome of the upcoming general election. So hard in fact, that we’re stopping our series of seat prediction posts.
Prediction: Labour landslide may come on similar vote share to 2019
With three weeks to go until the general election, our modelling predicts that Labour may win a landslide victory with 391 seats on a very similar share of the votes to that achieved by Jeremy Corbyn’s party in 2019. This result would surely strengthen the case for electoral reform in the UK.
Immigration: The Establishment’s Convenient Bogeyman
The debate around immigration in this country is deeply dishonest and incredibly unfair. Right wing politicians are using migrants & their families as political footballs. Preying on the insecurities of British voters to win votes, and quite simply lying about the impact that immigration has on this country.
Labour purges left-wing MPs right before general election
The ruling right-wing of the Labour party has begun deselecting left-of-centre MPs and candidates en masse as the general elections looms.

Council’s Web Searches Fund 3,600 Trees in 2 Years
In 2021 I wrote to South Gloucestershire council asking them to change their search engine to Ecosia on computers, phones and tablets owned and operated by the council. In January 2022 they did exactly that and have been quietly using Ecosia as their search engine ever since until a source at the council contacted me today to reveal the scale of their achievement.
Polls show the Greens have a chance to achieve greatness in 2024
The Green Party are currently averaging around 6% in opinion polls – enough to win 2 seats at the general election this year. It hardly sounds like a breakthrough, but beyond headline voting intention there’s a story developing that gives hope for a Green surge in 2024.
Scottish Greens to hold vote on continuing SNP alliance
The Scottish Greens are set to hold a vote on whether to continue governing Scotland in a power-sharing deal with the SNP. The Greens and the SNP have been in power together in Scotland since signing the Bute House Agreement in August 2021.

Tree-planting search engine Ecosia announced today they have reached a total of 200 million trees planted.
Labour leftists looking for a win should embrace the Greens
These days you’d be hard-pressed to find a left-leaning Labour member who’s happy with the direction their party is taking. Keir Starmer’s leadership campaign pitched him as Corbyn-lite, but three years on he’s positioned himself to the right of the Conservatives. Long gone are the pledges of nationalised utilities, freedom of movement and a foreign policy based on peace and justice. Instead, Starmer’s Labour is a party of big business, harsh immigration rules and war in the middle east.
