@ZackPolanski Clive Lewis should realise he has a better future with the Greens.

"The former shadow defence secretary Clive Lewis said: “No one disputes the need for diplomacy with the US. That is realpolitik. But rolling out a state visit in the middle of an illegal war, led by a man doing profound damage to democratic norms, is not diplomacy; it is a profound misreading of the moment.”"

Why is #CliveLewis?

The #LabourParty MP for Norwich South is a good critic of #neoliberalism, and of public alienation from politics. He is right that proportional representation could open up politics, tho like most English critics of #FPTP he seems unaware of the importance of #STV.

But all he seems to do about it is 3 or 4 articles per year in #TheGuardian and a few TV appearances.

Radical change requires sustained hard work to build movements. Clive isn't that.

While people feel the foundations of their lives are shaking, this deep political crisis will continue

The partisan debate since the Gorton and Denton byelection risks blinding us to the truth. People are rejecting wholesale the way our politics has developed, says Labour MP Clive Lewis

Clive Lewis is right but his Party will dismiss what he said and carry on as it is.

The public should have a voice in what happens to water supply, treatment, and its ownership, in England.

@ChrisMayLA6 I think this scenario is v unlikely.

1/ local projections of national polls make #NorwichSouth a neck-and-neck Labour/Green marginal. V risky for any Lab candidate.

2/ #AndyBurnham would be rejected by NEC as Lab candidate unless he swore loyalty to #Starmer, but that would sink Burnham.

3/ voters hate being taken for granted, and a stitchup like thus would face some local fury.

So I think this is a non-starter in that seat. But #CliveLewis is smart. What is he playing at?

Better still, ditch Labour, keep your seat and become a Green.

I don't see Burnham moving to a southern constituency either and parachuting in outsiders is a bad look.

"The widely cited £100bn figure for the cost of public ownership based on 'Regulatory Capital Value' has been questioned by independent experts... under existing laws, the value of these debt-ridden companies and their crumbling pipes could be closer to zero."
