'And if half of Labour and Lib Dem supporters voted tactically in constituencies where their favoured party is in third place, the effect would be greater: the two parties between them would have a comfortable majority in the House of Commons'. BBC news #TacticalVoting #GTTO

Difficult to understand whether the electorate is being played, or actually deserve what they are getting... #UxbridgeandSouthRuislipbyelection
It’s hard to comprehend that 13,965 people voted Tory in Uxbridge. Seemingly because they are against the expansion of ULEZ. Originally put in place by their former MP when he was London Mayor and expanded by Grant Schapps. Happily ignoring what the Tories have done over 13yrs

Huge #Brexit dividend for Paris! Paris hails ‘spectacular’ success in luring banks from London after Brexit has exceeded expectations and is increasingly reflected in France’s balance of payments, the central bank said. thetimes.co.uk/article/620a9… – at South West, England

Tactical voting is the inevitable consequence of our broken voting system. It hurts all parties, nobody wants it, and without First Past the Post there’d be no need for it. Thanks to @libdemdaisy for drawing attention to the systemic issue at the heart of tactical voting: FPTP.

Can @BBCNews please explain why it still gives valuable news-space to Nigel Farage ? According to @Wikipedia he is a former this and that and currently only a ‘broadcaster’ on GB News . Frankly I don’t care if @Tesco withdraw his clubcard let alone some vanity spat about his money .

People can agree or disagree with #ULEZ, but what they can't do is blame it on Labour. Boris Johnson introduced it, Grant Shapps ordered its extension, Sadiq Khan implements it. It's just disingenious to blame it only on one. #uxbridge #byelection

I’m advised that I shouldn’t say what I really think about this because one has to treat politicians who behave in this manner as difficult children and allow them to grandstand. But I will say that almost everyone I speak to has run out of patience. on.ft.com/3OiFxWG

A man has been jailed for 18 months for stealing 200,000 Cadbury's Eggs worth £31,000. If those same rules were applied to Zahawi and Mone. Zahawi would get 145 years Mone would get 7844 years Of course they are not 'Guilty' and will never be charged with anything.

I’ve just tweeted about Grant Shapps and a donation he’s taken from a private hospital. Shall we… raise awareness and hit 5000 retweets?🤞

Am very glad that there has been a massive focus on Nigel Farage's human rights. It means that this will be followed up with looking at unfair dismissals and evictions, justice delayed and denied, and the compensation failures of Windrush, Grenfell and the Post Office, won't it?

Memo to @RishiSunak - I'm not asking you to take lectures from me. I'm asking you to listen to experts, businesses & the public. They all want bolder climate action, yet you can't even bother to make it a top 5 priority. You're complicit in this #climatechaos. My #PMQ 👇

The one thing made evident by the Uxbridge result is that we need a #ProgressiveAlliance #Byelections

Because our country is corrupt in ways that are only now beginning to emerge
If I was found in contempt of court, I would be imprisoned. If you were found in contempt of court, you would be imprisoned. So why hasn’t Boris Johnson?

This is our country today ⏬ ONS figures for Feb-May 😞 One in 20 adults run out of food as prices soar. And 43% of tenants finding it difficult to afford the rent & 28% of mortgage holders struggling with repayments. It's terrible 😞 And getting worse bbc.co.uk/news/business-6619…
