Civil society folks: fascinated to know if you were at this event because, afaict, civil society engagement on AI has been less than zero so far.
Also, always great to see an official shot from a roundtable at which everyone in the pic is a middle-aged white man.

have seen this in focus groups - one almost unanimously expected a hung parliament
Done a few education conferences this week and been really struck at how many people are surprised when I say Labour is definitely going to win.
Most people are going to be really surprised by the scale of what happens next week.

1/ This has the potential to wipe out the Tories in some of the few seats they look like holding.
Of the 20 seats with the highest % of military households, all were won by the Tories in 2019, including Sunak's seat. Latest
@YouGov
MRP has them holding 16 of these...
Looking at the number of military families and veterans in Sunak's constituency (I'd estimate at least 25% of voters) - he really could be in trouble in his own seat.

The average house price in the 1980s was 3x the average salary.
It's now 9x...

one of the most interesting nuggets in these elections: in a borough where local politics has become dominated between a nimby conservative party and a nimby independent group, the winner in this ward ran on a platform of better infrastructure, not fewer houses
Hatch Warren and Beggarwood (Basingstoke and Deane) council election result:
WEP: 61.6% (+61.6)
CON: 25.9% (-16.0)
LAB: 12.5% (-9.4)
Women's Equality Party GAIN from Conservative.
