I love Bernard, but I don't love this. Independent voters are looking for whoever is offering them the best deal at the time. There's no coherent strategy, no common values, and no solidarity. I'd much rather see us building a strong and principled Labor party to fight for the working class.

Listening to this audiobook right now and it’s a horrifying eye opener about the misogyny, abuse, and violence baked into the so called Christian communities who are increasingly controlling this country. Not an easy read, but a very important one. Highly recommended.
