Liz Truss vs Rishi Sunak for Prime Minister is a very grim state of affairs.

It shouldn't overshadow though Keir Starmer saying Proportional Representation "is not a priority."

The pandemic, partygate & the awful roll back of our rights all stem from a total lack of democracy.
Of course Truss and Sunak's politics are awful.

But by defending first past the post, Keir Starmer is essentially ensuring that we have more Tory Governments for the rest of our lives despite the majority of the country voting left or left of centre.

When will Labour get this?
This is all in the context of the country boiling over in the climate crisis, a cost of living crisis and politics in shreds.

If Labour can't support reforming our democracy now - when will it ever be a priority?

We need to #MakeVotesMatter.
And for a party that will tackle the climate crisis, stand up for workers rights and stand up for democracy?

We want to create a mass membership movement.

We must unite for system change. Make links between climate emergency and rampant inequality.

Make links between exploitation of environment & colonialism.

Politicians are entitled to have private conversations & in balance particularly those in cabinet have a responsibility to be open & transparent in their views. Liz Truss, Chief Secretary, speaking loudly in a public restaurant at lunch; /Thread 1/13
I respect that people will be concerned about invasion of privacy & I respect that instinct. Ultimately though this is a public conversation of a very senior figure who says one thing on TV & clearly believes differently. We have a right to know & it's pretty damning. 2/13
Liz Truss: 'The only person worse at managing people than David Cameron is...Theresa May.

She's such a pacifist whereas I embrace the chaos. I'm a thrillseeker. I'm enjoying watching France.. Macron is such a technocrat & there are consequences- worse than a lame Blair & Brown.'
