PS: Allow me to add in this context that it’s really important to recognise too that Labour are not a centre-left party. Some Labour MPs still are, for sure. The party is not though. Centre-right generally but on immigration very clearly hard right and happy to pander to far right talking points.

Why why why can politicians never ever listen? The solution here is to build resilience against anti-immigrant rhetoric and to improve people’s lives in these communities. Labour are doing neither and this is why I maintain they are actively paving the way for a Reform Government.

the only member of Labour’s cabinet that I didn’t detest and she’s gone. god this government is just garbage

Ah that’s good to hear! Still put off a bit by him being the son of the council leader but on the other hand I think the SNP candidate is also related to another councillor

honestly this analysis helped me decide who to vote for (I will be voting SNP in spite against a candidate who doesn’t even live in the area)

To explain: the second I switched domains, I was able to go and register my old handle, zitron.bsky.social, as if it was a new account. Anyone could've done that the second I switched to my domain. That's very unsafe!

No really, Bluesky needs a true verification system rather than this domain stuff, it's janky, your old account name doesn't forward to the new one, nobody pretend like this is good

does seem a bit pointless to have a single person election in a system meant to be used for multi-member wards
