Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

As my Gran used to say "things always happen in 3's"...so a 3rd new party in a week. So.. What's the view about Corbyn/Sultana's new party? What will be the consequence? Good or bad for Labour (esp w FPTP)?

With the relentless daily slopshow of populist media, I saw nothing about the UK's 0.9% growth in May vs an expectation of 0.6%, and this on the back of March growth 0.2% vs nil expectation. It's the highest in the G7. Contrast with flatlined economy 2024 under Tories.

Elections in democratic societies are manifestly showing that first-past-the-post voting systems are no longer fit for purpose. Only proportional representation can accommodate options of multiple numbers of parties.

There was a low turnout in Runcorn at last night's by-election. When people choose to not vote, say they're not interested in politics, don't know how to vote, democracy simply doesn't work bc FPTP leaves the door open for groups not widely supported. So is it time to make voting mandatory in UK?
