44% to RefCon is disconcerting
The fact* that 45% of the UK electorate would vote for RefCon disheartens^ me though.
*polling fact - and we know how accurate they can be!

I think it's a clever move to discuss it now, Starmer's mistake would have been to put it on the manifesto for the next election - it would dominate campaigning. Doing it now might just dissipate the inevitable RefCon toxicity before that..

We all know that polls are terribly flawed, despite their best efforts. But it’s encouraging to see the continued decline of ReformUK, but worrying that a right wing ConRef or RefCon coalition could be a reality.
Just imagine the destruction that would cause.
So still worrying about that.

RefCon: Iterative Refinement and Contrastive Memory Extraction for Context-Evolving Agent
Long-horizon agent interactions generate useful but noisy experience, and retraining models to absorb it is expensive. Context-evolving agents therefore need memory extraction methods that improve with more test-time compute without relying on gold labels. We propose RefCon, which combines sequenti…

It would but sadly with the current RefCon leadership it won't. I hope the public sees sense. It really feels like this is our last chance.

Feels like this is our last chance to do this. Cross-parry consensus would be great but no chance with the current RefCon leadership. So we have to hope the country sees through their hysterical dishonesty. #socialcare #labourconference
The Tories promised that they'd fix it but did next to nothing even as they sought to all but bribe pensioners with the triple lock pension.
Now we'll have the right demanding to know how it's all going to be funded...
This needs solving and it would be so good if partisanship could be put aside.

Interesting. Which way do MRP polls tend to lean? Would be interesting to see what the others say, and a poll of polls.
But this really would be a hung parliament!
On the plus side, RefCon would only have twelve more seats combined, than Labour on their own.

"It's a quite simple thing to do.." is the part where I lost interest. Rejoining the CU would take years, be insanely complex. And don't even mention the "Reform factor" - rejoining any EU institution would be undone by a RefCon govt. and the EU side knows that. Sorry, but here is where we are.

Labour: we are going to try something. RefCon: don't get your hopes up. The media will help us ruin it. Also RefCon : old enough to have a house and savings? Don't vote Labour, they're going to raise taxes. It doesn't make sense does it?
LibDem and Green: looking at you.

Jenrick, who was a Tory until 40 minutes ago, and was a leading member of the last government, says there shouldn’t be a RefCon pact.

At some point RefCon should have to clarify who they see as British, and entitled to stay. Because the coalition they’ve built suggest it isn’t the administrative definition of British national.

The far right are now fairly openly signalling that they are unhappy with how WW2 went and this should be a sign for the mainstream media that those "legitimate concerns" are just a fig leaf for their real nazi views:
