@ewan_wadd @LabourPartySN Great to hear this Ewan. Will Stockton be joining all the other local Labour parties in passing a motion for PR? We need a system that doesn’t just deliver good local MPs but also a government that reflects how people have voted https://t.co/sqxVoV3HB4 @Labour4PR
Every working person needs a Union. Iin a largely un-unionised trade you need to be in a Union even more. Uber is a classic story of what a Union can do. Retail? - join @UsdawUnion Local govt? - join @unisontheunion Industry? Join @unitetheunion or @GMB_union or appropriate other https://t.co/75go09ig5l

In case anyone misunderstood this - 75% of @UKLabour members support proportional representation for the House of Commons. A quarter of CLPs have actually gone so far as to pass a motion but very few have rejected it- there are plenty still to go https://t.co/Rg2pnKU7Yr

The way the Tories are talking about compulsory voter ID looks like deliberate voter suppression to me. There is no serious problem of voter fraud in the UK. The only reason to do this is to stop younger and less well off people from voting. https://t.co/YrYj4ptI2D
Translation from “Timesian” into English: Boris Johnson, who has newly appointed David Frost as EU Relations Minister, believes he can deflect criticism of the mess in NI onto Frost’s predecessor Michael Gove, even though as Louise points out Frost was instrumental in creating it https://t.co/BESJpywZBN
Without a proportional electoral system Jacinda Ardern would not have become Prime Minister & New Zealand would have had a National Party (Conservative) government- NZ now arguably best government in the world https://t.co/PrSV31lv7Q
2/2 ... including council housing (too much public money goes into pockets of private landlords) 4) remove deliberate hurdles from trade unions to enable them to do their job properly and ensure decent wages- that way far fewer working people would have to rely on benefits
This demonstrates that Tory claims of “supporting people into work” are a sham. To reduce benefits paid to working people they should 1) raise the minimum wage 2) police it properly to prevent unscrupulous employers underpaying 3) increase the provision of affordable housing 1/2 https://t.co/h5r0vIUyw1
