Marxist, environmentalist. Slowly finding my way
I really welcome younger people given the right to vote, I remember now the pain of being very politically aware at the age of 16 and watching Brexit and general elections happen before my eyes with no say in the outcome.
However without at least PR we will not live in a truly democratic system

I love how being a leftwing mp in the Labour Party is now a defining characteristic that sets you apart from the rest of the PLP.
Starmers government stands for nothing, they represent no one, it’s a vacuous cabinet with no direction.
What is the point of this government and the Labour Party?

I understand the need for strong research and a robust process of assessment and prescription with puberty blockers.
But an outright ban in the name of safety is insane when it will clearly cause so much harm, why have the risks of banning it not been taken into account in the equation?
