A timely, if often somber, episode of @BBCRadio4 @BBCFreeThinking with @DrMatthewSweet & experienced guests discussing *peace* & the pursuit, maintenance & periodic illusions of it.

Presumably, Gareth Southgate will be following this tried and tested plan against the Spanish? #EUROS2024

Labour have won 35% of the vote.

Yet they will have won 2/3rds of the seats. A LANDSLIDE from an electorate that has not embraced them.

I am glad we have change. But our electoral system is not fit for purpose.
