Bit blown away by the reaction to this thread... thanks all, and apologies in advance to new followers.

Many people have been asking about what the right response is... It is the key question. Just a couple of thoughts. 1/6

But first, two 'corrections'.
In the tweets on the attempts to shore up power, I omitted to refer to the 'anti-protest' law, described here by @IanDunt. It merits a place.
And there (obviously) shouldn't be an apostrophe in 'its' in tweet 6. 2/

So... how should we respond? The first key thing is to accept the inevitability that many of us, who all see the Johnson govt as a danger, will disagree (perhaps profoundly) about the best way forward. The disagreements are here to stay. 3/

That makes the task of creating a strong opposition to this Govt, difficult - much more difficult than many appear to imagine. 4/

The second is to think about how create an effective opposition, capable of winning power in the next GE - *notwithstanding the disagreements which exist*. 5/

I've written threads about the labour party, and about a progressive alliance in the last months - I'll link to them here.

Would be interested to know what ideas people have.🙏 6/6

This is the one one the labour party.

And this one on the progressive alliance.
