A thread on petitions - with the latest viral petition (GE), I hoped to do a blog about it, but tricky finding the time! So instead, I've listed below previous posts I've written on the occasion of previous viral petitions - here for @lsepoliticsblog 1/7: https://t.co/A1CmwAmPkf

@ParlCharlie And it has an excellent cafe! It's the best place to go and work, when you have to wait to go into Westminster. Really nice and welcoming staff too. (and they have pasteis de nata - win win😉).
