To #LabourConference2022 - a #ProgressiveAlliance is a process for defeating Tories at the next critical GE. It does not depend on policy pre-commitments. Parties agree to work together to encourage tactical voting and who will stand, depending on local voting behaviour.
To #LabourConference2022 - the next GE will be very tight. Handfuls of votes may make the difference between win/lose. A #ProgressiveAlliance reduces risks of lose. It increases the value of every vote. Makes every constituency competitive. Ensures no safe Tory hiding place.
To #LabourConference2022 - Tories pose an existential threat to our democratic way of life. They have to go at next GE. Not the one after. A #ProgressiveAlliance will consign them to political outer darkness for a generation. Join forces. #ProgressiveAlliance
A General Election may come sooner than we think. We are nearly out of time, and we must be ready.
Mass gaslighting of the country by those advocating for extreme market liberalisation. Telling us that our fundamental sense of fairness and equality between fellow citizens is immoral. In face of empirical and ethical evidence that reducing inequalities is better for all.
@Conservatives - you need to get a grip of these people, out today in the media.
Morality = taking the perspective of others who are vulnerable to harm. Immorality = giving licence to policies or attitudes encouraging society to abandon its responsibilities for most vulnerable.
@ConHome - these people are upending our country's social contract. Given that not one single popular vote was cast in the country for Truss regime, this is illegitimate, immoral and incredibly dangerous. Do you want to get us to a point where people come out on the streets?
2. Group Formation: @CompassOffice groups already exist or can be set up. @RebootGb groups likewise.
Or just make your own new group using #ForwardTogether FB page.
3. Make your plan:
Talk to other groups. Talk to local parties. Look at voting data. Select your tools. @GOV2UK is developing tactical voting & countering misinformation tools.
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
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'.
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.
