@hbluehouse @james_partridge @goodhonestmusic Just heard and can't believe it. I'll always treasure the memory of playing your songs with him in that little band 30 years ago. And so many other things too...

@BeatriceHeuser Dangerous. Without a pool of commonly known facts, we are prey to biased summaries of history which push particular political agendas. Much the way that the Church burned the books of "heretics" and then provided misleading descriptions of their views.

If party politics was abolished, MPs could focus on listening to their local constituents and finding ways to bring about the changes needed in their local area instead of spending all their time and energy fighting against opposite parties, and their own party. Just a thought...
