Worried that the other parties, especially the new "Your Party", gate keepers are going to prevent cooperation and let Reform storm it!

The proof will be the London elections due next year.

I'm not hopeful, listen to the 1st part of this podcast on what happened in 2019.

I see the PM is being very rattled and very untruthful about the Greens again in the papers.

He couldn’t say this stuff in Parliament because he would be lying to the House - both about what our popular, evidence-based policies are, and about him believing this guff.

Old enough to remember the IRA hunger strikes & dirty protests....

These stories hardly ever seemed to be out of the news in their day.

This 🇵🇸 hunger strike in our prisons is passing unnoticed.

It shouldn't!

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

The podcast is honestly the best I’ve ever listened to. It is like a ten part spy thriller; only not fiction, but real life, with British voters the victims, and too many British politicians choosing to turn a blind eye. Each episode is better than the last, devastating in conclusions. MUST HEAR.
I only recently listened to this extraordinary 10 part podcast - Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring by @peterjukes.bsky.social and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social . It’s gripping, chilling, and deeply disturbing. The facts of Russian intrusion into UK politics laid bare, in horrifying fashion.
Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social spell out what needs to happen - the same demand we’ve made for years.

We need a real, independent inquiry 🧵

This confected attack on Reeves's integrity is just so depressing

We can all remember that Boris Johnson was just a bare-faced liar but was treated more favorably

And it distracts attention from the very serious economic problems we face that we need to address together
