@AndrewSparrow Why does no one mention Mrs Thatcher's pre-emptive 25% pay rise in 1980 to all public sector workers? Sunak says he reveres Mrs T after all.

"Tories have lost reputation for economic competence". What reputation? Barber, Lawson, Lamont, Osborne all awful. Jenkins, Healey, Brown, Darling brilliant.

@CarolineLucas @Keir_Starmer Keir thinks it means Labour will have to work with others. Yes Keir you should! If Labour won 50% of votes on its own you cd do what you like. Otherwise find partners to get you over 50%. And working with Greens, LibDems ScotNats Plaid is a sign of confidence not weakness.

This is big! Labour members just overwhelmingly backed PR 👏👏
Great news - a real sea change! Yet @Keir_Starmer has his fingers in his ears. People are crying out for fresh, progressive politics where votes count & voices are heard. And it’s coming, whether leaders agree or not

[Stephen Bendle @StephenBendle1]

Great vote in favour of PR at Labour Conference. Usual nonsense: "implies Labour cannot win without PR" BUT 1. Labour must first win on FPTP and 2. no party has ever won 50% votes yet surely, to govern fairly, parties should need to find coalition partners to build 50% mandate.

@mhdksafa Billionaires don't create jobs anyway - people with ideas create jobs and need Government and other investment to realise them.

@ATTay38411784 @RichardBurgon The rich earn 5% plus on their wealth. This income comes from investments in shares and bonds which diminishes what's left to pay wages. Hence wages rise only 1-2%. So yes they are taking money away from you to naive fool.

@JLMelenchon Parfait Ça marche en Allemagne.

Why does the Guardian's corresponent assume Macron needs a deal with a right wing party? A deal with Melanchon's NUPES group is a much more attractive option. Does the Guardian no longer consider policies on the left as viable??!
