Lovely to discuss #GE2024 and beyond with Aditya - lots of reasons for hope

UK political trust is at a crucial crossroads westenglandbylines.co.uk/politics/be-wa… - great analysis from @clairejones8464

Come on ⁦The Labour Party⁩ give the ⁦Liberal Democrats⁩ and ⁦The Green Party⁩ a reason to back you and beat ⁦Reform UK⁩ and ⁦Nigel Farage MP⁩ #WinAsOne ⁦Compass⁩ - we can stop the slide to right wing populism

Of course we celebrate the changing of the guard. But unless the new guard change the system this will be a dark day: 💥63% of seats on 34% of the vote 💥210 more seats on 2% more votes 💥Reform second in 98 seats and needing 1 million votes per MP This is a democratic powder keg

From Duncan Robinson in the The Economist “At times, first past the post is less a democratic method than a random number generator that spits out a slim or gigantic working majority for the government of the world’s sixth-largest economy” ⏰ for #ProportionalRepresentation

Making Britain’s voting system fairer won’t enable parties like Reform – it’s the only way to challenge them - this is v good by ⁦@zoesqwilliams.bsky.social⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The anti-racism protests across the UK have been a wonderful reaffirmation of our collective humanity. But they will not, on their own, defeat racism and fascism. That requires political leadership. It also means an end to the mainstreaming of racist language and ideas.

I have huge respect for so many in ⁦The Green Party⁩ and hate how their generosity has been rebuffed by ⁦The Labour Party⁩ & ⁦Liberal Democrats⁩. But expelling members for 5 years and stomping on local democracy is not the new politics. Row back please theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Aaaw Ben 🙏

Very good Chris but we don’t need more progressive competition. The conference Decision was to have the right to impose - they didn’t have to. Look at the exceptional circumstances of this seat - books have been written about it. It’s a call for nuance not a hammer

“The summer of riots at home and medals abroad” in part because we are “watering the petals not the grassroots”. Brilliant journalism from ⁦Barney Ronay⁩ and the ⁦The Guardian⁩ theguardian.com/sport/article/…

Schools not places of joy and creativity , where we learn the most precious of gifts - how we live together - but exam factories to earn and down - ⁦The Labour Party⁩ has to be better than this ⁦Compass⁩
