@Johnny__Luk Keir Starmer enters Downing Street on Friday.
The prisons are full due to 14 years of tory governments and a failure of justice system.
Do you expect him to magic up thousands of new places in a couple of days?
While I didn't vote for @UKLabour, I sincerely hope for a rational, sensible government that gets stuff done fairly quietly.
It's nice to wake up without an internal melodrama from the governing party.
There is an effort by George Galloway’s Workers Party to portray themselves as independents who were foiled by Greens standing
I’m sorry, but the Workers Party agenda is anti-migrant, anti-LGBT, Putin & Assad apologist, anti Net Zero
Greens should never ever stand down for them
@drdavidbull My politics is a long way from Reform to say the least.
Yet there is common cause here.
FPTP is only reasonably proportional with two large parties.
This is not the case anymore, and PR is only means of having Parliament reflecting votes cast.
We have tyranny of the minority.
@ToryFibs One of those won in my Constituency.

They are left wing and internationalist on some issues, but also very socially conservative.
So the winner in this #GeneralElection2024 is tactical voting.
Amazing results all round, with some 'interesting characters'.
The next parliament will be lively.
@ever_void_@PronouncedAlva There is an 'Independent', with a focus on Gaza.
In the last local elections, the wards that make up Dewsbury and Batley Constituency overturned massive previous Labour leads, winning 42% vs 23% for Labour on a similar platform.
The guy's name is Iqbal Mohamed.
@ToryFibs Thanks @ToryFibs.
We really need to improve political discourse in the UK, and this means being on the correct side of the argument.
If opponents go low, you should remain high. Lead by example, and don't be dragged into the gutter.
