Listening to @jon_bartley talk about an NHS reinstatement bill to remove the market completely from the NHS.

I'm old Labour, I'm proud of this Labour, I will vote Labour but there are three other parties I'd give my blessing to - Greens, SNP and Plaid Cymru. Good on them all.

X : What about LibDems?
Me : One apology from @joswinson does not make up for damage caused through policies of austerity that LibDems enabled and supported. It's a start but they've got a long long way to go before they drop that tag of being the Conservatives useful idiots.

X : But Labour is competing against PC.
Me : I know. That does not mean I cannot wish them well or respect them. I reserve my ire for those who would act in a way or seek to cause harm to others.

X : But LibDems could unseat some Tories.
Me : I know and I'd prefer to see LibDems rather than Conservatives. But, that does not mean I trust them nor want them. It just means that I trust them very slightly more than some of BoJo's lot which is a very low bar indeed.

... oh, and understand that preference solely comes from the @joswinson apology. It was right that Jo apologise for what was done, what was voted for and what was supported. That is the mark of a good future leader. The LibDems would be wise to stick by her regardless.
