Citizens of #NorthShropshire. What can you do to deprive Tories of power?
1. Pressure oppo parties to co-operate. To make cross-party plan based on local voting behaviour & needs #ProgressiveAlliance.
2. Campaign for tactical voting. Ideally combined with 1.
@chilterns4
Local people can come together to:
1. Encourage @NShropshire_CLP @DemsNorth @NShropsGreens to co-operate. (P.S. don't be put off by @UKLabour saying their party rules don't let them. Time for excuses is over).
2. Encourage people to vote tactically.

@Neal_Compass I live in #CheshamAndAmersham @derek_rocholl. Campaigned for tactical voting in 2019. Now campaigning for #ProgressiveAlliance. In recent by-election, we needed some votes from @conservatives. These would never have voted @UKLabour. This is why local plans are needed
@chilterns4
@Neal_Compass @derek_rocholl @Conservatives @UKLabour @chilterns4 Also, in 2019, we campaigned for tactical voting in 4 Chilterns constituencies. Lack of reciprocity lost us all four seats. @libdems would not stand aside in High Wycombe because @UKLabour would not stand aside in Chesham and Amersham. Frankly, absurd, irresponsible @chilterns4
@Neal_Compass @derek_rocholl @Conservatives @UKLabour @chilterns4 @LibDems Frankly I NEVER want to feel what I felt the day after 2019 election. Wandering dazed through Chesham. Seeing the damage the @conservatives had done/would do. Feeling devastated. Knowing that if there had been cooperation then we would have won at least High Wycombe @chilterns4

I don't want my pension fund investing in 'British entrepreneurial spirit'. That is not an investment goal with any social, environmental or economic value. And there are slim pickings amongst 'British success stories'.

theguardian.com/business/2021/…
James Anderson, outgoing head of Scottish Mortgage who knows a thing or two about investing in entrepreneurial companies, sees few value-creating opportunities in UK. What little we have, we sell off - ARM being the most egregious example.

For those that have a choice of where to grow their companies, the UK is not number one on their list. PsiQuantum founder, Jeremy O'Brien, developed the technology at Bristol University. But took his start-up to California.

Hope for us activists.
Collective action as a pathway for psychological healing of whole communities.
I reckon we need this.

#ClimateAction

By the way, #ElectionsBill sets out to undermine political collective action. Or joining together for common purpose to achieve peaceful transfer of power in elections.
A very important element of collective action is resilience (personal and collective). And resilience, in turn, is linked to a sense of life having meaning & purpose. Again, #ElectionsBill raises barriers to joint purposing in our political lives.

Incredibly important discussion. Govt's failing mass infection strategy is based on libertarian ideology, not a prudent plan. @TheLancet @allthecitizens #JohnsonVariant #LongCovidKids
#NHS #COVID19
Hospitals already struggling. Record breaking attendances. Cancer operations being cancelled. ICUs filled with #COVID19 patients.
100 000 cases per day putting #NHS under incredible pressures. Vulnerable patients not being heard. @sajidjavid does not mention them. As if they don't exist. Abhorrent @doctor_oxford @Conservatives - is this the legacy you want to leave the future? #LongCovidKids @chilterns4
