Interesting. Jason Zadrozny has quit the Zadroznyites (ie Ashfield Independents). democracy.ashfield.gov.uk/mgUserInfo.asp…

It’s interesting how Starmer’s genie has no power over Vaughan Gething…

So I only found out today that until 1974 there was an East Suffolk and a West Suffolk running separately with two seperate county halls for most of the prior hundred years… Ipswich vs Bury St Edmunds. Utterly useless knowledge but a rabbit hole I’m glad I went down…

Really off the scale lack of self awareness from Truss here. As someone who just lost a seat, it was clear from the doorstep that her record was one of the main reasons we were so soundly beaten. No individual in history has done more damage to the Conservative Party.

The average Tory candidate lost 44% of their 2019 vote. Liz Truss’s vote fell by 63%. But she is not the problem…

More important things first 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿! But v.excited to launch our 10,000 person study with our friends UCL Policy Lab tomorrow. It’s our attempt to tell the story of the 2024 election, but more important the type of change that can tackle the cynicism & disillusionment that dominated it

Is Orkney & Shetland the only seat in Great Britain where neither Labour nor Conservative finished in the top 4? *Chorley doesn’t count.

The genie is finally making its way to Wales…

Liz, no one cares. You lost. Massively.

This happened during my first experience of a debate in the chamber. The behaviour of several Conservative MPs was appalling. After the debate, I asked a group of them why they behaved that way. I was accused of rudeness myself for having the temerity to ask. Absolutely shocking.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 JK Rowling slams Joe Biden for failing to consult with her before making the decision to withdraw from the presidential race.

A great joke from Russia: Putin, after 10 days of Kursk catastrophe, summons Stalin’s ghost : Stalin: “What’s happened?” Putin: “Nazis are at Kursk! My army is beaten! What should I do?” Stalin: “Do like me 1943. Send best Ukrainian tropps to the front, and ask the US for arms!”

If this is the town square I hate to think of the state of the town…

And this is why Twitter is shit: A tale of two Tims…

I’ve reported some truly awful racist posts recently. Twitter replied “these don’t breach our safety rules” I can’t in good conscience remain on here after that. Elon Musk is fast making Murdoch look like a Saint. 😳 Godspeed.

Just back briefly to say I’ve joined bluesky as Twitter is finished for me: @edinmelbourne.bsky.social If you are there, please link up!

So, I’m really not coming back to Twitter - but please find me on BlueSky: libdembarchart.bsky.social ready for the next elections in May! (Or any tasty by-elections before). X
