It's still good to have a policy person for X and Y topics, as well as more people to handle casework, but yes, doesn't mean you can escape political gravity.

Oh definitely, I just always think that doing this one well would unlock a lot of good things elsewhere!

Social media also means they can engage with bad arguments more easily, and yet the nature of social media has scared almost all of them away. The early promise of direct communication is dead. It's a massive shame.

That's not very much? Wouldn't it cost more to administer it?

Also time. "You want 10 mins to do what?"

I mean, that's not quite right, but Miliband today would have absolutely owned tough enuss and bacon sandwich and tripgate
