Realising earlier how pollsters always ask "If there was a general election tomorrow how would you vote?" wouldn't have required the "if" today.

Obsession with #growth is enriching elites and killing the planet. We need an #economy based on #HumanRights

#EconomicGrowth allows the few to grow ever-wealthier. Ending #poverty and #EnvironmentalCatastrophe demands fresh thinking

#Labour may win big under #FirstPastThePost, but it is morally obliged to bring in a fairer system

#TacticalVoting can help oust the #Tories, but we should remember that it’s also a democratic abomination

'#Labour needs billions to fund its plans – and I know where it can be found
By harnessing the power of #PensionFunds...''

'The seismic importance of 4 July is that Conservatism’s approach to wealth generation – trying to shrink the state whose size & excess taxes supposedly “crowds out” suppressed investment & enterprise – is exposed as a dead end of stagnant living standards & eviscerated public services. '

Personally I would be ecstatic at freedom of movement, rejoining the single market and customs union, and helping British companies trade fairly with Europe!

The truly scary thing to me is that there will be voters who support these far-right idiots.

Tory MPs paid £100,000 of public funds to party’s in-house web designers. They're just thieves.

#Thatcherism, #austerity, #Brexit, #Liz Truss... goodbye and good riddance to all that

For 45 years, #Britain has been blighted by #Conservative ideologies that promised a path to prosperity, but achieved nothing of the sort

Rishi saying they can cut tax avoidance after being in power for 14 years is, surely, an acknowledgement that they've endorsed and encouraged it while they've been in government?

So they'll now change their spots? Yeah, right.

Whilst I hope there isn't yet another Tory government (ever), which probably means Starmer as PM, can we still call him out on "In February 2020, while he was campaigning for the Labour leadership, Starmer said selections for Labour candidates needed to be “more democratic and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local party members should select their candidates for every election.”
