If a majority of the people of Scotland wish to leave the United Kingdom, Westminster has no moral right to stop them from making this decision. This is supposed to be a union, not an empire.
Tory gains are bad news for jobs, the environment & public services for the many not the few. With millions not voting, these results show a loss of hope. We must offer a bolder vision to transform people’s lives & give them the confidence to strive for a more equal world.
@JamesEFoster@AndyBurnhamGM@AngelaRayner@UKLabour@YvetteCooperMP Andy Burnham could be a good @ujklabour leader. He would of course have to ensure he didn't stand on that same platform he did against Corbyn, as Metro Mayor, he does seem to have at least embraced progressive politics now
I would have liked more votes but we now have a New Democratic socialist party and people are discussing the North /South divide. This is just the start for NIP
Thanks to everyone in the @FreeNorthNow team. Now some sleep!
@awlilchelle @edwardpoole1975 @Conservatives There were more people who didn't vote in Hartlepool than there are homeowners. Of course the homeless find it very difficult to vote too. Renters, young, the precariat didn't see a solution in @UKLabour That's a worry

@kateferguson4 He's correct, the answer to the extreme right-wing @Conservatives is not slightly softer right-wing policies, Labour have been down this road before, it doesn't work, and isn't what the Country needs
Voter analysis shows that educated and younger voters think @UKLabour are the better option, and the uneducated and old tend to favour @conservatives. Will Starmer now work with the LEFT to win?
@edwardpoole1975 Voter analysis seems to suggest that the educated and younger voters don't like @conservatives, the old and the uneducated don't seem to mind the callous criminality, they seem to accept it as inevitable
@David__Osland @edwardpoole1975 This is why we need a new approach to politics, we need structural reform, an end to FPTP, and a new political movement that can unite non-conservatives
So as predicted a truly shocking result for @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour who have a mountain to climb of their own making. Opposition to the tories needs a new party, we need a new kind of progressive politics #TimeForChange
