Is this the ‘change’ the country is going to vote for? Labour gaslighting the country, collapsing the vote on a ceasefire & then blaming it on the house 🤷‍♂️ The Establishment exposed in all its ugliness. #Scottishindependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@labourloyalist Voting Labour because of the name, or that Labour are not the Tories is not rational. If we want a society focussed parliament, we need it to be balanced with PR. Starmer will not cede to PR, so we find another way. Don't vote Labour or Tory.

@timjrich @GMB Junior doctors have already done their ‘apprenticeship’, 5 years at medical university. Not only didn’t they earn £4.50ph, like your son, they paid over £100,000 for their ‘apprenticeship’, plus interest.
