1. Good to see the UK PM @andyburnham.bsky.social is on BlueSky 2. It's a bit of a shame his account is a bit out of date. Mayor of GM and a 2 month old repost. Hopefully, we will see more from the UK government and PM on here and fewer or no more announcements via Musk's X.
I found this article from the BBC for the AV referendum and I was very struck by the conclusion at the end. There was no talk of the ' Will of the People' that has been so exploited by the 'leavers' in the EU referendum. www.bbc.com/news/uk-poli...
Wow! Is this Gower's definition of overcorrection. Gammon brain rot strikes again.
I would like this message better if it acknowledged successes and that Davey and the Party want to be a first choice for people in the north, the young, the 'left behind' and people financially struggling .
Libdem policy . Do you think this is too conservative? What would be your alternative? As a party, we pretty much all want the uk to rejoin the EU so you will find people willing to listen. Join us and shape policy even.
The last place I lived in London was in the Cricklewood and Mapesbury ward. The change from Labour to NOC is fascinating to me.
I've woken up to this. Reform plus 348 , it would seem mostly at the expensive of Labour and the Tories. Libdems +35 Greens +26. Libdems +2 Councils which I wasn't expecting as Sky/Sam Coates was predicting only +1. And now people will see what getting a Reform councillor means in practice.
I also remember the Libdems leading a Yougov poll in 2019 but dont remember calls to replace FPTP then or non stop news coverage for the Libdems.🤔 Does anyone else remember this?
A very Merry Christmas, Ed and family, from a festive Kolkata. What a beautiful, unifying message. Just what is needed. ❤️
And here's a flavour of what is in the article. P.S. I didn't know UKIP was founded by an LSE Professor!
