I put my phone down last night, I am planning to have 70,000 voters to represent soon (from all sides). I am livid over the complete subversion of democracy... The names touted to become an entirely unelected Govt defender are frightening. It's a Trumpian political appointment
And nothing more. Press spokespeople should be neutral - or how can the media be (they aren't) and here, right in front of us, is that rabbit hole... And we are being pushed into it. With Fox, Stewart & Hoey literally laughing at us - not with us. I want more democracy, not less
& it's completely essential now that progressives rely less on party colours for a time, disagree on what we do - fine, but coalesce on what we are agreed on, centre left policies, decency, truth and democracy. I urge my friends in Labour, SNP, Plaid, Green, XR, to work together
I'm no tin foil hatter, if we don't - it's likely there might not be that much left to work together for. We really do appear to be slaloming towards something that can't be described as democracy. That should frighten every one of us.
