With #London not voting - almost 40% of voters here are #labour according to polls - and Scotland (where the #SNP in trouble will boost #labour ) and Wales a labour heartland not voting either, their national share of the vote is understated in these #local results

Ignore #Marr & co suggesting no majority will happen in #2024GE - labour are set to win barring accidents

#LBC #Marr discussing #Truss and her resilience and bulldozer approach ignores the fact that she was crap in all her roles. It's like discussing a player's goal celebration while ignoring the fact they never get anywhere near scoring goals!

oop looks like i failed to mention #phonology in my intro

i'm an #exemplar and #NeuralNets guy by disposition but i think there's real value in #formalist approaches (à la Bale & Reiss, or the #subregular stuff); they offer a distinct mode of understanding (in a vaguely #Marr way but i've come to believe the notions of "levels" has been detrimental overall)

some day i'll get it together enough to get a piece on #explanation and #pluralism of #theory written somewhere

#linguistics

I see Stamer's on #Marr supporting government policy and promising nothing will change if Labour are elected.

No change to withdrawal agreement
No free movement
No joining common market
No free broadband
No referendum for Scotland
No promise on debt

Sigh.
