Morning all -- and hello new followers! There are now twelve (and counting?) different models making seat-by-seat predictions for next Thursday's election, and while they all indicate a Labour landslide, there's a lot of disagreement in the details.

Do you know anyone who'd like to work with us on important + interesting data infrastructure projects? #python
We are hiring a tech lead! We build high impact national health data infrastructure that is open, productive, and beautiful - like our OpenSAFELY - in a truly mixed team, where software developers and researchers all share skills, status, knowledge, and best practice! my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

From the department of better-late-than-never, I've added to my site some "league tables" evaluating the performance of the seat-by-seat predictions for the 2024 general election: inglesp.github.io/apogee/lea…

It's definitely time for the polling nerds to retreat (in fact I'm off to the beach) but if you have ideas about policy data that could do with being presented better, do let me know! xitter.cf/DAaronovitch/status/18…
Time for the policy specialists to step up and the political correspondents to retreat. We need to understand what’s being proposed and whether it’ll work, not endlessly opine on whether Labour will face threats in 2029

This seat's now been declared (LIB DEM GAIN), and updated here: inglesp.github.io/apogee/con…
Replying to @inglesp
There's still one seat outstanding, and it's a fitting one -- I wrote much of the code that supports interrogating the data in a tent on Skye only three weeks ago

Thanks to @ramshackle78 for the tip-off, and for all her pointers to new forecasts over the last few weeks
