A tiny bit of positive news, but there's no sign of it being reported by any of the major news outlets

Presumably the government down south doesn't want people in England to know there's going to be a shift in their rights to protest without being arrested? Or is Starmer just going to ignore this ruling?

Thanks OP @kim_harding #ukpolitics #AntiFa Yes, there is a desperate need for full on electoral reform. Many of us have been banging that drum for decades. Not only ER but selection of candidates and constituency boundaries too.

I mean we're only Voters, what do we know about the Voters, right? /s

That strategy is not working, but like Alec Guinness's stubbornly British officer in Bridge Over The River Kwai, he's going to build that bridge for the enemy if it kills him!

"There doesn’t seem to be any understanding of the deep-seated emotion in the reaction of Labour supporters to the party’s behaviour in government over the past 10 months. There used to be talk of the need for emotional literacy in politics. What we are witnessing is a staggering level of emotional illiteracy"
John McDonnell in a righteous rant.

I must be in a bubble on Mastodon… my timeline is full of people who want Labour to tack left. Has anyone encountered folk (apart from MPs) who think Labour should drift further right?

The mistake you're making is thinking the Protest Voter wants anything else but seeing other people hurt.
The mistake you're making is thinking these people give a shit about anyone but themselves, that their bigotry is just a small aspect of their identity when it is the CORE of their identity.

Actually, Kemi is not saying she's 'sorry' about being the shit leader that she is, she's just sorry other people have lost their jobs for reasons which are not related to her in anyway, let her be clear....

Not a single lesson learned by either leader here, just a stubborn refusal of reality and a double down, like we haven't all seen where this goes.

It's so tiresome....

And as we can see from Starmer's pledge not to change a single damn thing, just double down and push harder, the end of the Duopoly seems not so remote now.
This stubborn refusal to listen to anyone but the Right Wing Press, a gooey eyed fascination with the Fascist abomination in the White House and complete indifference to human suffering....it's not a vote winner guys!
