From the BBC:
Reform UK - formerly the Brexit Party - came third with 6.6% of the vote, with the party's leader and candidate Richard Tice describing it as a "massive result".
The Green Party and Liberal Democrats both lost their deposits.
That's not what it said this morning - screenshot from phone. The fact that Reform UK came third just didn't register properly and had already been forgotten when the next sentence was written:
We don't need no stinkin' objectivity

Well spotted. Maybe it's linked to a general problem with numbers.
AKH, ta. Unlike the BBC, I'm a numbers person.
AKH, the BBC is the Voice of the Establishment. The Tories, Blue, Red, Yellow and Tartan are the Party of the Establishment. Everyone else is to be decried or ignored.
The BBC don't do numbers, they just think that 'tanking' is a description of pullovers which used to be the norm for lefties in the seventies!
The First Law of Scrobs is 'Believe the opposite to what the BBC spout'!
You sleep safe in your beds with that momentous statement!
B, it seems the Greens have been elevated to Establishment, hence why they got promoted over weird turquoise/white combo.
Sc, it's good to read BBC/Guardian and also the Mailexpressgraph. Then, as you say, assume the opposite of each side and it all pretty much cancels out to nothing.
The 'greens' are de facto commies, or probably 'progressive' in the eyes of the BBC. So they're fine.
L, Brexit was a useful touchstone. Apart from the Conservatives, who were split, all the Establishment parties were against Brexit and vice versa, by and large. The Communists were for it.
B. Yep. Bring on Ingsoc?
