Devon, UK.

Most news is awful.
And you can do almost nothing about it really.

This news is great.
AND almost everyone with connections in the UK can do something about it. Spread some awareness that tactical voting advice for the local seat level can now be easily accessed.

Economic flatline…Brexit is to blame!

Danny Blanchflower:-

“As an economist, Brexit was always going to be a disaster and it has turned out that way”

“The fat lady has sung... brexit is an unmitigated disaster... as you can't eat sovereignty... it's as simple as that”.

New polling suggests @UKLabour would GAIN more seats by rejecting Brexit & the Labour Party would remain on course to regain all the ‘Red Wall’ seats it lost in 2019 – and could actually see a surge in support – if it deemed Brexit to be a mistake,

Keir Starmer could win an increased majority by turning against Brexit – but party officials are still rejecting any notion of rejoining the EU

Local government elections:

Following the imposition of ID requirements, this reminder might be helpful:

1. You don't need ID for postal voting.
2. The last date to register for a postal vote is the 18th of April.
3. Don't vote Tory.

In defence of MPs pay rise, Richard Lloyd, IPSA's chair, says they employ the principle that MPs' pay should be reflective of their responsibility in our democracy.

How does that stack up, as Tory MPs have spent most of their time destroying democracy in the UK?

3/ The press has been the means of covering up Tory failure, promoting every attack on the weakest ; people on benefits, refugees, the EU, working people, as the cause for deteriorating quality of life, and encouraging attacks on "woke" opinions, misogyny, transgender, etc. to whip up hatred and divide society: divide and rule. Above all, to cover up the rise of #fascism and removal of #humanrights .

Sacking @[email protected] today, rather than Monday is to distract from Sunak & Zahawi's appointment of Mohamed Mansour as Tory treasurer. He's making £mils trading in Russia with a company that Sunak's wife has shares in.

Every credible column I read on Brexit is unrelentingly grim. Both Conservative and Labour approaches to mitigating the damage seem to me to be textbook sunk cost fallacy. Turd polishing as policy. https://twitter.com/simon_nixon/status/1618514000089866240
