We can’t tackle the climate crisis without voting reform
The last paragraph just about sums it all up.
The choice is Labour’s, to go on trying to secure narrow, shallow and occasional FPTP victories on policies only acceptable to those who want nothing to change, especially on climate, or mobilise and build the progressive majority that exists in our country. Infrequent, weak single party government or strong progressive alliances most of the time? The flick of a switch in terms of how we count votes is a game changer for progressives and the planet.
I don't want a system that relies on the least worst option. This system is low hanging fruit for abusive regimes with a war chest to spend on campaigns.

LFF also claimed the cost of this scheme has hit £290m so far. This is near £3m per head of any potential victim removed from the UK. It does not include the cost of the liabilities built into the scheme for anyone coming from Rwanda back into the UK in the swap scheme.
An immense waste of tax payer's money, and a wholly barbaric policy, on what is nothing more than political games to con the public.

A good break down of the other polls done by Yougov on this subject by youtuber Phil Moorhouse.
My personal opinion is that Labour do not want to talk about Brexit until they can stop the Tory media telling lies on the subject. We will only get one shot at reversing this fiasco, so they want to get it right. With Labour I agree on this. Let it lie until we can have some actual facts on the matter. Any discussions with current media throwing in their bias is swayed by those who have pocketed billions from the Misery imposed over Brexit.

While Jeremy Hunt was keen to portray an optimistic picture of his autumn statement, bragging about tax cuts and how he was ‘growing the economy’, even though the facts show otherwise, new analysis has revealed just how bad it’s got for households under the Tories.
Analysis by the Resolution Foundation has revealed that this Parliament is set to be the worst on record for household income growth. The think tank found that incomes are projected to fall by 3.1 per cent from December 2019 to January 2025.
It said in its report: “That makes this the only Parliament that has seen an overall decline in real household incomes (the next worse being that of 2015-17, which saw growth of 1.0 per cent).”
The below chart illustrates just how bad this Parliament is for household income growth. So much for the Tories being the party of sound finances.

Max is not someone I follow a lot. I find he has some strange ideas on trying to prove his point, but this is gold imo. Becker Guto Harri claims literally had me chuckling. A good start to the day:)

Sounds like a very generous thing to do for the public good except Welcome to Gresham’s
If you want to attend the same school as James Dyson then this is the cost.
Meanwhile state funded schools are falling down around us. This is why we need better tax laws than we have now.
