Such an honour to have had Samantha Ege @lincoln.ox.ac.uk as an ECR some years ago, as her research and performance careers gathered such strength. A remarkable force.

Our voter coalition is fracturing. But we *can* win them back.
Read this 🧵 and article to find out how

We need to get *all* these voters back. And we can.
