@glynmoody Conservatives have one and only one motive for seeking public office…to enrich themselves personally at public expense. They have no concept of public service, honour, or the greater good. They are, by definition, sociopaths. #ukpoli#uspoli#cdnpoli#onpoli
When does the supreme court make its ruling on the Rwandan redirect plan? Is it tomorrow (err, today?)? Also, what an epic rant from #Braverman in her resignation letter.
A #petition has been launched asking Bristol’s #political representatives to add their voices to calls for a #ceasefire in Gaza.
In 7 days the petition - which also calls to light up City Hall in the colours of the #Palestinian flag - has gathered almost 2,000 signatures. The move comes as a national survey on #Muslim voting intentions suggested shift away from Labour, following party’s refusal to call for ceasefire between #Israel & #Hamas.
Jonathon Shafi, who was representing the #StopTheWarCoalition received one of the biggest cheers of the event when he said: "(Suella #Braverman ) tried to stop us from marching, but in #London today, I can report that the largest demonstration for #Palestine in #British#political#history is now taking place".
Organised by Labour & #Palestine , the meeting heard national executive member Jess Barnard condemn the party leadership for “failing to join the growing chorus of voices internationally calling for a ceasefire, from the UN to Oxfam, from the ITUC to the Pope.”
It's conservatives talking conservatively to other conservatives about conservatives...
... but it was a fascinating interview with Bush speech writer David Frum on how young conservatives are being pulled into the fringes. Specifically, the far- and alt-right.
“The Walkerton story is the story of how systems which were established to protect #publichealth were deliberately dismantled by a government driven by a fanatical hatred of the public sector. In the name of eliminating "environmental red tape," a #water protection system designed with multiple safeguards to protect against a failure at any one point or by any one person was undermined.” https://lloydalter.substack.com/p/the-canadian-connections-to-the-uk
