The Tories are step-by-step destroying our democracy. We on Twitter, need to think of ourselves not just as voicing our opinions and talking about politics, but as campaigners actively working on building campaigns - the most important of which is the one to save our democracy.
Other campaigns are very important, but if the Tories are allowed to turn the UK into a Putinist managed democracy then none of them will have any effect. That's why saving, and rebuilding our battered democracy has to be the key campaign.
I don't want to see responses on the lines of 'we are just stuck on Twitter'. If you think that, then think of ways you and others can help get our campaigns out of Twitter and into the wider world. Be a campaigner, not a commentator.
Campaigning doesn't have to be something big - persuading a family member, friend or colleague to vote for an opposition party in the local elections when they hadn't been thinking of voting is brilliant.
