And all the other GB parties are in favour of electoral reform (including the one which is likely to better under FPTP). Electoral reform also has majority support amongst Labour activists. [2/2]

I've been thinking for a while now - this is probably the first time ever that the two largest parties in the HoC (including the party with a massive majority) are likely to do better at the next GE under PR than under FPTP, even though both of them are formally opposed to electoral reform. [1/2]

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Are the full results / data for this (and for the Assembly poll conducted at the same time) available anywhere please? Can't find them on Savanta's website ...

Has the Government provided any clarification (or retraction) yet as to where Baroness Anderson got her numbers from (eg >10 million families for whom X is their main news source)?

Not sure if this counts, but I've managed to sustain two different injuries from (possibly the same) wardrobe door (from a well-known Swedish furniture store). One from dropping it on to my toe, and one from twisting my ankle after slipping while carrying it downstairs.

So much in this thread to aspire to ...
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

The UK's governing elites are more addicted to X than in any other country, and a lot about the country's politics makes sense when you understand this fact.
I didn't think they were delusional enough to think that the whole population was as addicted as they were, but here they are saying it

The government will probably need to formally correct the record: as the numbers are wrong, the definition/meaning is wrong, and the "more than any other social platform" is wrong.
This may lead to the government developing a more informed view of the real picture.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*
People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.
Special relationship - alive and kicking.

The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.
Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.
Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

Family holiday in (IIRC) around 1984 in Yugoslavia, bumped into Trevor McDonald in the lift lobby; on discovering we were English, he asked us if we knew what the score was in the Test match.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.
