We lost Charles Kennedy ten years ago today.

A decade on I will campaign with his spirit in my heart

I/we WILL stand up for liberal values, even if it’s to stand up to our own in the process, and I/we WILL change hearts and minds via the grassroots and up.

is it possible for a politician to be.......too likeable? defector.com/selling-zohran
It’s a smart yet not exactly ethical strategy by the speech today. Testing the water with a strawman argument at a time no one was watching, when reality of this situation there’s large corporations on a tax bill delay/ effectively being subsided by the state
PM vox popping my constituency on taxation jumpscare
Thank you to the parents for speaking out, true lived experience, evidence and compassion, being eradicated by populist nonsense
The only bandwagon I’ve seen worth jumping on in a LONG time. Like decades.

Momentum should have done this but they actually refused to agenda sexual violence, homophobia and struggle relating across the faiths.
They protected men that Zohran calls out. JC calling for him is arguably unhelpful
Me, excited by a male politician.

Confusing
Pls can you adopt me. Thanks
Sad he won’t see the mayoral win. Tbh
I’m so excited for you. X

If Mamdani wins, the voting public might begin to believe that good things can happen, which is of course incredibly damaging to the Dem brand.
They aren’t coming for DM readers though are they. This is embarrassing to say out loud but even more to think.

This New Yorker documentary about the 1988 UK government ban on broadcasting the voices of Sinn Féin and I.R.A. leaders is pretty good but they show *that clip from The Day Today with no explanation and no indicator that it is satire.
