Hello and welcome to the TCC Weekly – the Friday bulletin for people who know their pork barrels from their dog whistles.
 
This may come as a disappointment to regular readers, but much of the Weekly is written before 10pm on the previous Thursday night. Yes, we know: countless, links and memes could be missed in those precious hours.

But at any rate, to avoid the somewhat glaring omission of the election result from this week’s bulletin, we won’t bring you a full Weekly today. We'll instead provide a bumper, double-edition next week, once we know the result and fallout. And we’ll also, of course, have the latest on Engagement, Values and Behaviour Change.
 
Nevertheless, in the light of what’s been a bizarre and unique campaign, here are a few of our highlights from the final week: 

• Nigel Marriott provides a five-step stat analysis of the ultra-volatile polls – how right was he? (you know and we, at the time of writing, don’t!)
• Corbyn Superfan provides an analysis of his own
• Paul Mason finds his inner 1922 Committee member, and IFS data suggests the Lib Dems have found their inner socialists
• Watford cuts an impressive figure as the seat with the tallest selection of candidates
• Tony Blair playing cards are released, and the peerless @BrianElects bamboozles twitter
• CallYourGrandparents, the inter-generational site, aiming to help young liberals win over older conservatives, is launched
• Dr Sean shares his experiences of playing as Corbyn in an election simulation game – and Theresa May shares her feelings about the EU with the rest of the continent, in a weird South Coast installation

And if things haven’t gone the way you were hoping by the time you read this, then vent your fury with an expletive, safe in the knowledge that – a new study finds – swearing aloud can be an effective reliever of emotional pain.

Just before we go, we'd like to flag that we're currently advertising for two roles at TCC: a Consultant and a Junior Consultant. So, if you'd like to work for us – including a chance to at long last see Charlie's Attic for yourself! – then click the links or give us a call with any questions...
