I think if your preferred party looks likely to get less than 10% then you might consider voting elsewhere, but what would be useful, who could you vote against and how?! People need to get used to a system where tactical voting is too complicated for more than a handful of people to bother with

Is there a quiz online to find where you sit?

How does this work in 6 seat d'Hondt? Vote PC to shift some wasted Labour vote to prevent Reforms 3rd seat whilst still getting 1 for Labour?! All seems a bit complicated, surely you just vote for what you want. Is this the last Senedd election with any tactical element?

Leeds North East?

Rob @navarthian.bsky.social · 2d

No, there's only space for two carriages in Leeds station. The platform they use can take 4, but half is for Sheffield and they need to park the Castleford train in the other half simultaneously

Rob @navarthian.bsky.social · 3d

The "express"between these two major cities can only have two carriages due to platform limitations! Embarrassing

Is it the 7% or the 8% that contains the lizardman constant?

A relative went through every step of this process while trying to get a nephrostomy, uncannily identical. The hospital clearly has an overwhelmed A&E despite 2 new wards opening in the last year or so.

Why self harm just because a neighbour is?

Same way you could criticise Catholic ideas about abortion without anyone thinking you were particularly racist about it?

But then some places out there had large numbers of eastern European people arrive before Brexit. Some of the highest Brexit votes came in places with a sudden 15% Lithuania population, etc

I'd be surprised if my seat (Leeds North East) isn't safe Labour still. Even if Labour don't like prosperous inner suburbs, it's their core vote - not some town of mills.

Last year I realised something that has changed my perspective on advocacy

At @walkridegm.org.uk we noticed social media wasn’t having a meaningful impact on active travel delivery, so we shifted our focus to more constructive spaces

It's the same in the UK - up to a whole £1000!

If it stays low throughout the rest of the parliament and starts generating stories of economic harm/staffing crises it'll cut through eventually? Getting boat numbers down is the other key thing of course

Waist measurement is meant to be a better guide for individuals most of the time. The NHS has a calculator

Oh hello you beauty! #LIFF2025

(Btw, I only just realised that @leedsfilmfest.bsky.social is on Bluesky, and considering their Twitter account had 16k followers and their Bluesky currently has 360, neither does anyone else. So give them a follow!)

The Tories are working hard to get down to the true bedrock of voters who vote Tory regardless. And they are an elderly bunch who chose to be true blue in the 70s and 80s! They need to start recruiting before the grim reaper alone ensures they can't get many seats

Why would anyone want to take charge now and carry the can for the May '26 apocalypse? Has anyone the idea they can prevent it?!

A solid chunk of remaining Tory support seems incapable of considering voting for anyone else but ¼ will be dead by 2029? Can they attract anyone new?

A party that has zero credibility on ambitious anti-migrant claims makes poorly worked out claims?

Rob @navarthian.bsky.social · 20d

There was a pilot the dept of transport did before allowing 20mph limits that also looked at 10mph. Basically 20mph slowed cars enough to save lives and 10mph added little extra survival
