Labour point blank refuse to work with other parties to unseat the Tories. Indeed, they target seats that the @LibDems could take from the Tories to suppress their vote. If they cooperated there’s a good chance Corbyn would have won the 2017 GE. Here’s how;
1.Aberconwy; Labour lost by 635, the Lib Dem got 941
2.Bolton West. Labour lost by 936, the Lib Dem got 1,485
3.Broxtowe (Anna Soubry). Labour lost by 863, the Lib Dem got 2,247
4.Calder Valley. Labour lost by 609, the Lib Dem got 1,952
5.Cambourne & Redruth. Labour lost by 1,577. the Lib Dem got 2,979
6.An alliance of Labour, Lib Dems and the Greens would have seen IDS seat of Chingford and Woodford Green go to Labour; his majority was just 2,438. Lib Dems and Green diverted 3247 votes from Labour.
11.Hastings and Rye ( Amber Rudd). Lost by 346 votes, LD got 1,885
12.Hendon. Labour lost by 1,072. LD got 1,985
13.Middlesbrough South. Labour lost by 1,020. LD got 1,354
14.Milton Keynes North. Labour lost by 1915 votes. LD got 2,499
15.Milton Keynes South. Labour lost by 1,725. The LD got 1,895
16.Morecambe and Lunesdale. Labour lost by 1,399 votes. The LD got 1,699
17.Northampton North. Labour lost by 807 votes. The LD got 1,015
18.Northampton South. Labour lost by 1,159 votes. The LD got 1,405
19.Norwqich North. Labour lost by 507 votes. The LD got 1,480
20.Preseli Pembrokeshire (Stephen Crabbe). Labour lost by 314. LD got 1,106
21.Pudsey. Lost by 331. LD got 1,761l
22.Putney ( Justine Greening). Labour lost by 1,554. LD got 5,448
23.Reading West. Lost by 2,876. LD got 3,041
24.St Austell & Newquay. Lost by 11,142. LD got 11,642
25.Southampton Itchen. Lost by 31 votes. LD got 1,421
26.Lab or LD could have taken Southport. Tory won by 2,914. LD got 12,661, Labour got 15,627
27.Stoke on Trent South. Labour lost by 663 votes, LD got 808
28.Swindon South. Labour lost by 2,464 votes. LD and Green got 2827 between them.
29.Telford. Labour lost by 720 votes. LD got 954
30.Thurrock. Labour lost by 345 votes. LD got 798
31.Truro and Falmouth. Lost by 3,792. LD got 8,465
32.Watford. Lost by 2,092 votes. LD got 5,335
33.Wimbledon . Lost by 5,622 votes. LD got 7,472
That’s 33 seats that could have been taken from the Tories, and that’s not counting the seats @LibDems could have taken from the Tories if Labour hadn’t split the vote.Ten DUP votes wouldn’t have been enough to form a Tory Govt. We could have ended this nightmare.

Arsenal fans, disappointed by years of underperformance, lay the blame on the Premiership and vote, by a small majority, to leave it.
The club management accept the result, and announce that the ‘will of the fans’ must be implemented.
Arsenal declare that they will not be members of any league, but will approach every team in the FA and ask them for a game. They estimate that the club will prosper if they can persuade the other clubs to participate.
They are not deterred by the fact that no club has ever done this, anywhere, and that they will lose the TV money, a role in drawing up the Premiership rules and a place in European competitions.

BREAK: Downing Street will not publish full Brexit legal advice, will only give MPs "full, reasoned position statement" ahead of vote.
Sets up a massive showdown with the House of Commons which passed a binding motion which called for "any legal advice in full" to be handed over.
Downing Street said it would honour a commitment made by David Lidington to give MPs a "full, reasoned position statement".
Crucially that is not what the motion which was passed demanded.
Looks like MPs will be given a summary of legal advice, not the actual legal advice.
Pretty clear from this exchange that Number 10 has no intention of complying with the binding vote of the Commons on providing MPs with full Brexit legal advice before the meaningful vote.

USA reality: a country saturated with guns & habituated to quotidian massacre, plagued by age-old racism & bigotry, which have lately been expertly inflamed & incited by the POTUS

There Is Still So Much Evil’: Growing Anti-Semitism Stuns Americans
🚫HateSpeakKills🚫

The violence that took place the Shabbat morning at the Tree of Life congregation in Pittsburgh is the fear of every synagogue, Hillel, day school & Jewish community center in this country. It is the ancient Jewish expectation of persecution—this IS Terrorism
🚫HateSpeakKills3🚫

When Rabbi Miller learned of the Squirrel Hill massacre, he ordered the doors of his synagogue locked.

Despite his congregants’ terror that they would be next, they recited the mi sheberach.

They prayed for the healing of others rather than themselves.

It is bone chilling to re-read this @davidfrum from the beginning of 2017. Just read it. So much of it has happened or seems vastly more plausible than it did back then.

The water is simmering. We are the frog. Nov 6 we either jump out of the pot or... theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
I'm going to quote a few lines from it that today read like history, not prediction: "Big tax cuts, big spending, and big deficits have worked their familiar expansive magic."
"The president’s supporters credit his restrictive immigration policies"

THREAD: I think we need to talk about the lefts stance on Party rebirth, & the holier than thou attitude that #Labour has on #libdems & tuition Fees. Given the rise of the far right & how much we actually agree on we really should be working together, so lets try to clear this up
For many of us @LibDems, we left @UKLabour when they voted & took us into Iraq.
Now the Labour left make the argument that Labour is not the same party that it was with Blair, & because Corbyn voted against Iraq; all must be forgiven. The party should be allowed to start afresh.
Fair enough. But if this was the case, why was Tim Farron nailed to the tuition fees cross by Labour campaigners at the last election? He voted AGAINST Fees in the same way Corbyn voted against Iraq.

Yes, our government has been taken over by Russia using their agent trump, getting financial backing from far right libertarian Billionaires, propaganda by Fox, votes from radical religious and hate groups, enabled by a complicit corrupt Congress owned by those same billionaires!
Now it seems due to a major flaw in our Constitution we have only one option; vote! #BlueWave2018 Yes there is #Mueller who is making progress but it’s obviously going to take awhile. Our founders didn’t allow for politicians becoming so corrupt they would cede power to an enemy!
The problems however are too numerous for a few tweets, but you all know them already. trump designed a cabinet to help him destroy the country. He’s acting like s dictator and as each day goes by, those actions and statements are becoming more egregious. His goals are clear and
