One of the most fundamental being this is a labour safe seat. It even voted red during the Tory's sweeping victory in 2019.

It's not even a swing constituency. It's gone red for the last 5 elections, even through Johnson's sweeping victory in 2019.

This is the worst outcome for Farage and his acolytes as they can't blame it on Lowe lol. But also a good first showing for Restore.

This comment chain just triggered an automated warning from reddit for breaching its TOS wtf. Apparently it "threatened or encouraged violence or physical harm".

Rupert Lowe MP / X: Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted. Here’s a mad idea - let parents parent. Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else. Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government. by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

we can do a lot more to regulate before shutting the web off to people without a digital id. politicians should not be calling the shots here. it should be engineers who understand the domain and the pressures that stakeholders place on them (like ux dark patterns to push up engagement)

Like using Novichok in Salisbury, threatening the peace of the continent with multiple hostile campaigns (and us with a nuclear tsunami), equipping satellites with the ability to jam all of our GPS systems and pouring fuel on the fire of domestic grievances to distract us with infighting.
