@samsmith hey Sam it's Sam, just seen you in Belsize Park. Are you free at 6 to come have some prosecco and sing Pray to my friend Bex for her 23rd bday? x

The news story here, which the BBC for some inexplicable reason have buried in the article, is that 88% of Tory ads were found to misleading, compared to 0% for Labour.

The Tories are objectively running a campaign of lies https://t.co/171EMw3aIh

As the Public Health Minister who oversaw the introduction of the sugary drinks levy, I totally despair at this. Transparent dog whistle politics dressed up as something thinking. It is the exact opposite.

I’m not sure this can be repeated enough.

Successful 21st century founders are realizing that their **company** will be the project that has the most impact on the world (not the foundation they run in their retirement) and they are starting to ask themselves if they like the impact their company is creating.

@KateMaltby how do you conclude that electorate still disagrees with remain? Data?

Quick healthcheck on democracy in UK:

Can't vote on new PM with likely profoundly different ideological position from current PM.
Can't vote on whether to remain in the EU despite a wildly different reality to campaign lies.

This is disgraceful.

[Agata Patyna @APatyna]

Turned away from polling station this morning. Told I should vote in my EU member state. Called local council yesterday, they confirmed I could vote. Called again today. Apparently council had no time to send out forms to all EU residents. Nothing they can do now #DeniedMyVote

3- I do not hide that I am writing a political code. My own.
No explanations, no arguments. No attempts at convincing. Take it or leave it.

"It requires the full capacity of the political system for five to seven years. The sacrifices it demands would probably never be accepted by parliament. And if you managed to get over all those obstacles, your only accomplishment would be to make the country poorer and weaker"
