@JonTonge Is that the " English" footy team where several key players are of Irish descent ?

Does anyone know why life saving air ambulances have to rely on funding from charities

But helicopters for the Royal Family are paid for by the tax payer?

“The brave thing to do is to seek out those with whom we have more in common than divides us.”

We’re still buzzing from @CarolineLucas speaking at #ChangeNOW!

If you missed it: full speech coming soon.

There is a progressive majority in this country. There has been for decades.

We have enough voters to beat the far-right voters. The problem is organisation, culture, and political imagination.

We need to start cooperating - urgently.

[Jack Dart @JackWDart]

Reform's election results do not prove they dominate the country. Their vote share fell, they control around 6% of councils, and Farage has a net favourability rating of minus 38. The media narrative of inevitability serves Reform far more than the facts do.

I have a BA and an MA in Politics, I've taught it for more than a decade & I'm obsessively interested in it.

After almost two years of Labour government, I have absolutely no idea what their pitch to the electorate is.

[Compass @CompassOffice]

The Right have absolutely no qualms about uniting if they need to. And it would be catastrophic for the country.

Progressives need to be willing to put their differences to the side and do the same. It will be necessary up and down the country come Friday!

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

⚠️ Last year, only 16% of councillors were elected with majority support. One councillor won with just 18.9% of the vote.

This trend is not going anywhere - and tomorrow will prove it.

First Past the Post has had its day. It's time for change.

weirdo centrists: "I hate that Zack Polanski has made the Greens radical I miss Caroline Lucas as she was sensible"

Caroline Lucas: "I'm glad that Corbyn made Labour a radical party and that he agreed with my policies"

[Compass @CompassOffice]

HAVE YOU GOT YOUR TICKETS YET?

Book yourself in and don't miss out!

@JonTonge When in Primary schools in Liverpool have always came across a lot of Irish from the North of Eire training to be teachers which was great. However the 'correct' pronunciation of certain words when teaching Phonics was always a challenge-for both them and the students alike !

"If we stick with First Past the Post under
an increasingly fractured multi-party political landscape, we have a very real risk of the next general election results looking much like a random number generator."

Well said @roz_savage 👏👏👏

[Julie Birch Holt @birch_holt]

@YouGov @JonTonge The primary focus should be getting rid of First Past the Post https://t.co/KcqtytUxvb 16 year old the vote may well increase the number of votes but until votes are treated equally ,we're barking up the wrong tree in terms of democracy..

[Julie Birch Holt @birch_holt]

@JonTonge Disappointing that young people are getting less interested.Politics sadly is not something really on the agenda in many state schools-no debating societies, no teaching/ discussion of how politics affects your everyday life. The odd visit from a politician and that's about it..

[Julie Birch Holt @birch_holt]

@JonTonge Dreading the results round my former home, Barnsley next year. For some reason people think they're inundated with immigrants and that in town it's like being 'abroad.."
Not my experience, and the figures reveal the number of immigrants around Barnsley is actually very low!!

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Lesson for Starmer and Reeves from Trump is if Britons feel worse off in 2029 then Labour is toast.

[Julie Birch Holt @birch_holt]

@JonTonge Hope he doesn't expect to get free tickets for Oakwell next season .You don't get owt for nowt in Yorkshire !

[Compass @CompassOffice]

If politicians are serious about changing the country and addressing the crisis of trust in politics, 2024 should be the last election distorted by First Past the Post.
