Starmer doesn't seem to realise that, if you consistently accept the way your opponents frame a question, you'll find it hard to reject the answers that they give.

If you keep telling voters that Farage is right in his analysis, it will be hard to persuade them that he's wrong in his prescriptions.

I like to buy it from my local Waitrose located in town. My thinking being that by buying it there it encourages them to stock it and so other people may see it that don't know about it, be intrigued and just pick it up. Also get a free coffee:-)

this is it
Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better.

But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.

How do you create meaningful conversation across divides in our society? How do you make the media more democratic? What do you do about complete apathy/complicity in the face of huge social problems?

There are far too many podcasts (and, for that matter, articles and blog posts) out there discussing "narratives“ and "political strategy“.
Talk about the actual the state of schools/ transport/ hospitals/ trade/ security and not about how those issues are being discussed by politicians.

A huge thank you to all our new followers. 🙏

We’d love to get to a big round 10k this weekend. You could help us get our progressive voice out to a few more by reposting this telling your followers why they should follow us.

Well we smashed that target, we're now on 7.8k, so same deal as yesterday, but this time we're aiming for 8k following....
If on Twitter you were a Tweep, does that mean on BS you’re a Bleep?

So…we’re up to 6.9k followers. Can you help us reach 7k today by quote posting this and telling your followers why they should follow the Bylines Network, home to the UK’s biggest citizen journalism project?

Many thanks. 🙏

I genuinely don’t understand what Labour is trying to do here.
This is what happens if you prioritise ideology over numeracy.

CPTPP would add just 0.04% to GDP; a deal with the Gulf Corporation Council “could increase bilateral trade by 16%, generating an additional £1.6bn in the long run.”

Brexit costs us £100 bn a year. www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds says joining the Asia-Pacific CPTPP bloc is a ‘real win’ for exporters, even though it will preclude the UK from EU membership

A few weeks ago I wrote a long piece in @londonreview.bsky.social warning of the far too close relationship between Labour, the business lobby and political donors

Already feels like this is becoming a major problem - and incredibly corrosive of trust in politics

Brexit Unfolded
Britain’s 2016 vote to leave the EU divided the nation, unleashing years of political turmoil. Today, many remain unreconciled to Brexit whilst, in a tragic irony, some of those most committed t...
