The amount of drama and suspense is mindblowing. This is real time video, no slow motion effects or anything of the sort.

What's been happening without hope is not working either and is killing planet, killing industries and killing hope. Hope does make for better Commerce to average citizens than what is on offer or if it continues, what will be on offer if red is replaced with Turquoise.

This clearly isn't enough to even retain their core vote base seeing as the results are today.

There has never been a better case for a ruling party to bring in proportional representation than the results of this by-election.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as “trivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi

It is not but each to his own. I can vouch for the benefits of a non-UPF diet that I have seen in my own health markers and diabetes control ever since I moved away from UPF.

Just the thought of these makes me shudder.

The purposeful run when Daddy is spotted after he was missing from Music's line of sight for a full 30 seconds. The joy, the happiness, it was a sight to behold. 🥰😍

Music, the Lhasa Apso dog, running towards his Human with ears flowing back and tongue out.

Private water companies are effectively marking their own homework. 🤔

Southern Water was fined £213m for lying about sewage data. 🤯

We need public ownership NOW. 💧

Water industry admits sewage monitoring damaging public trust

The industry says powers to self-monitor water quality should be handed back to the regulator.

Daisy Cooper, "The Labour government should raise taxes on big corporations that are making billions in profit, who can afford to pay more to get our public services back on their feet"

Ministers braced for showdown over ‘postcode pricing’ in energy market shake-up

Ed Miliband’s looming decision on electricity market changes could see households facing regional bill disparities Britain’s most senior government ministers could soon be drawn into a deepening row over plans to charge some households higher electricity bills than others, as Ed Miliband prepares to decide on sweeping energy reforms. The energy secretary is understood to be close to making a decision on whether to move ahead with proposals to replace the country’s single electricity market with several market zones.

Yeah I am fairly certain pretty much all who voted Labour will support these moves and not showing that intent is what's causing current perception that nothing has changed as per the article. They must act before they have nowhere to go but down.

The Geek-y-Ank ❄🐧🐾 @geekyank.bsky.social · Apr 23

True. Pultocrats are very good at playing the three dimensional chess while rest of us struggle with snakes and ladders.

The Geek-y-Ank ❄🐧🐾 @geekyank.bsky.social · Apr 23

I reckon you meant "negligible". That we won't know until its done and bear in mind it's the data analysis created by billionaires so its hardly reliable. The benefit is it will show intent and will place labour closer to working people and erode support of crazy party.

The Geek-y-Ank ❄🐧🐾 @geekyank.bsky.social · Apr 23

United left and center left, promise referendum on brexit / single market and unite with smaller parties to bring forth referendum on proportional representation.. shows intent of change while testing waters.

The Geek-y-Ank ❄🐧🐾 @geekyank.bsky.social · Apr 23

For start stop with cuts to benefit and raise the tax on billionaires by a mere 1.5%. The furore will be huge but markets will not tumble. Influx will allow for investment. Make waves about undoing small pockets of privatisation visibly and aggressively for which bebefit is felt instantaneously.

The Geek-y-Ank ❄🐧🐾 @geekyank.bsky.social · Apr 23

They should play like they have nothing left to lose which is the reality IMHO. Doing that will allow them to operate on the turf right knows nothing about and as things will change for better it will buy 5 more yrs. Its a gambit they have to take. Stop dealing in agenda set by Reform.
