The only thing @labourlewis.bsky.social is consistent with is his disloyalty to party leaders. He believes in a big tent that incorporates voters from other parties but not our own leader

Just read the Jenkins Commission (aka Independent Commission on the Voting System) report

“the principles of justice are those that would be chosen by free and rational persons in an initial position of equality”

The price of everything and the value of nothing

#TomorrowsPapersToday is also the worst thing ever. “Reporters” pretending that copy pasting front pages is journalism rather than social media photocopying.

“Up to a point, Lord Copper”

Yeah I pointed this out to him too and they are apologist appeasers for
Putin now too.

😂 just read the link. You’re making my point. The PPA has run and continues to run this whole thing since 1934 under Dick Sheppard. The white poppy was always a symbol of pacifism and they rejected rearmament against Hitler. Consistently they are pacifists regarding Putin now.

They were indeed and since 1936 PPU began distributing white poppies and became the main organization behind the campaign. As I said he’s very selective in what he references and ignores. www.ppu.org.uk/remembrance-...

The Peace Pledge Union (PPU) are pacifists. In the case of Hitler & Putin they rejected any kind of military response and adopted a stance of appeasement. It’s a justifiable if impractical moral stance rooted in Christian ethics of non violence but he’s obfuscating the meaning of the white poppy

Indeed and a sheep placating a wolf by giving it a leg is not a sensible survival strategy

I think the main conclusion is that local, mayoral elections work differently to national ones in terms of voter mobilisation and rousing people from their political apathy
