@stellacreasy.bsky.social making this exact point at the Transformations Conference in Lewes yesterday. My plea to good democratic socialists in the Labour Party- it’s our Party, don’t leave, we’ve got a planet to save.

Great view of London from Blackfriars Station- on my way to Lewes for the Transformations Conference - looking forward to hearing @stellacreasy.bsky.social

On my way home to Ipswich after a great day out in London. 7pm train from Liverpool Street- 9 of the 12 carriages completely full. Still enough seats for everyone. Absolutely on time. No parking problems. Faster than going by car. Inexpensive. No brainer - go by train! @greateranglia.bsky.social

Amazing to discover that Gladstone first proposed nationalisation of the railways in 1844 to try to deal with the chaos of competing private companies

@christabelcoops.bsky.social tells Lewes Labour she doesn’t think Farage could win more than half the votes in a general election- but that First Past the Post would make the results unpredictable. Absolutely right! Join us in calling for a National Commission, Christabel! @labour4pr.bsky.social

Emma Toal tells @uklabour.bsky.social councillors that First Past the Post now benefits the Faragists. If that worries you why not join @labour4pr.bsky.social

Great to see the LGBTQ+ flag flying with Pride from Ipswich Borough Council offices - in contrast to the shame and cowardice of Tory-run Suffolk County Council that has bowed to “anti-woke” pressure and is not flying the flag this year.

Something strangely reassuring about a pub garden where part of it is Roman walls - Canterbury. Hopefully still here in another 2,000 years

62.5% of voters who expressed a preference said they want us to rejoin. That’s a real majority- not just a whisker

Quick walk from my lunchtime business meeting to the town centre- how many towns have a centre like this? Really love Ipswich!
