The view the other way towards Lyme Regis is stunning! What a place to ‘fort’.

I suspect it will be underwater before it’s finished.

But if we are going to do this, let’s make it a heritage attraction, for ceremonies like the opening of parliament only, and move parliament north in purpose built premises.

Surely it’s the silly electoral system that does that. No voter knows how others will actually vote so it doesn’t seem fair if they guess wrong tactically, esp given all the misinformation around. We *should* be able to vote for who we want and know the system will represent that.

Interesting move. Been looking at Proton (Swiss, but available in Uk) for the same reasons.

I propose reviving Clement Attlee!

Funny thing is I think Starmer could do the job, he’s just choosing not to with almost every decision. I find it bizarre tbh. Far too reliant on MS as you say.

Still quite a risky strategy for Burnham, and sends the wrong message on importance of devolution.

You’re probably right. I’ve just developed an allergy to personality politics and Messiah complexes! Here’s hoping!

I’m deeply disappointed by Starmer. But I think we’d do better by tackling problems themselves than this continual focus on personalities.

Devolution IS part of the answer to our problems but it won’t work if politicians think they need to graduate to Westminster all the time instead of valuing their regional roles. Disappointing.

I remember liking this one from 2015 (not that it had a huge impact) youtu.be/PPgS7p40ERg?...
