@RupaHuq Oh come on Rupa. We've had 7 PM in 10 years before. The two occasions are 1761-71 and then 1825-35. Just because it was before the advent of universal suffrage . .
@tomwhx@RupaHuq from the EU. If that happened, I suspect that there might be a domino effect across the whole European Union. I am, however, mystified as to why our leaders are so frightened of such an outcome." Many other Brexiteers claimed the same
@tomwhx@RupaHuq Yes they did. Here's Kelvin Hopkins claiming a domino effect would be no bad thing in Hansard "There is no mystery as to why our political leaders are so opposed to holding a referendum. It is clear that they fear doing so because our electorate might vote for Britain to withdraw
"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."
The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".
Starmer has done nothing to rectify this situation. Please repost if you want the government to conduct a full scale inquiry into Russian interference in British politics over the last twenty years. Russia is waging a hybrid war against the UK and this government, like its Tory predecessors, is failing to protect us against the political half of that attack.
@steveracemp The only more toxic electoral idea would be killing everyones cats to reduce the number of wild birds they kill. Please stop this madness Steve.
I don't do a lot of posting here but today, I thought a story needed telling and some dots needed joining. It's about the most powerful health, cost-of-living and growth policy you've never heard of: https://t.co/v66spmGwKm

Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Paris, London the result is the same build dense networks of cycle lanes so they can get to where they want to go and people will use them.
I’ve been cycling to work since ‘09.
The no of cycle journeys in the London has grown dramatically since. 🚲
I think that’s hugely down to investment in safe infrastructure.
If people feel protected, they’re far more likely to bike.
Keep 👏building 👏 cycling 👏 lanes 👏
Hard to believe I’m even writing this.
Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C (89.6°F) than its annual average.
Great chart from @DanNeidle's briefing on Reform's overtime idea showing alternative uses of £5bn...
One that leaps out is the abolition of stamp duty on shares, explained here 👇, which could be harder to sell to the voters but is much better economics!
