This is the difference between liberals and the “left”. The left *only* care about beating Andy Burham, even if it means giving up other seats to the Conservatives. The Lib Dems are fighting to stop Farage getting into government, while also putting pressure on Labour seats.

A truly united left of Labour political party would absolutely terrify the modern day Labour party. Your Party, Greens, Independents are all placing pressure on Andy Burnham. At the next General Election, Labour will lose more seats to the Left. @thisisyourparty

The Green Party made it clear that they rather let North Herefordshire go from Green to the Conservatives if it means they can take Brighton Kempdown. This does nothing to stop the potential of a right wing government. It’s why the Spanish left is collapsing.

Very much matches what we hear in focus groups with young people, this sense of feeling numb both by how hard it is to get a job and dispiriting applications, but also feelings of precarity in jobs.

“Disney+ will now have ads on every plan.” You know what? Where the hell is my DVD player? I’m ready to go back to buying movies, owning them forever, and watching them in peace.

In some way I prefer rejection emails where they just say “you are bad and need to improve xyz ” because being told you’re great but no has a sense of hopelessness. My first rejection was my biggest contributor because they were honest and told me what I lacked so could improve.

But that was three years ago. Nowadays is always “great work and CV” but. I follow up these emails for feedback and the feedback was not much I could change. It’s always ‘no direct or different experience’, but I can’t change what my job is, and whenever I ask for professional

advice they say the volunteering experience is always weaker than work, partly not as credible partly is not a job, so they always recommend I cut down volunteer stuff. And thus, where does that leave one in this job market? Beyond feeling stuck despite doing everything right.

Amazing, Sagal basically confirms she does not believe there is anyone else in Labour who could represent her area as good as she can, so she’ll double hat. Lib Dems have plenty of people willing to to fight for Camden Sq 24/7, not choose between Parliament and Council meetings.

Sagal Abdi-Wali has confirmed she is going to continue being a councillor in Camden – as well as the new MP for Holborn & St Pancras. She said she will stop taking her councillor allowance.

StatsForLefties is a well run account. Professional graphics, very regular content, high engagement. It should be reason enough to strip the out of work benefits from the person who runs it. She is obviously talented and very clearly isn’t incapable of employment.

Pedro Sanchez destroys their arguments. Outlasts multiple different British PMs, because PR gives a more constant result and so small swings don’t lead to mass loses and thus panick. Managed coalitions to deliver more radical reforms than Labour, and kept far-right out twice.

Madrid also gives a different perspective, under PR Ayuso achieved a majority for the conservatives, because ultimately - PR just delivers what voters want. Many MPs in that article speak on behalf of what voters want. If voters want majority govt, why not just vote for it?

Above all, it’s more transparent. Negotiations between factions happen out in the open, and often pre-election - as opposed to behind doors, with journos having to leak disagreement. And voters, not small % who join a governing party, also choose which faction weighs more.
