Their whole charade is in tatters. The momentum has about reached a tipping point, and I'm calling it now - they won't survive to a General Election at the end of 2024. They'll be out of office THIS year. I will vote tactically to get @AdamHollowayMP ousted as my MP, but then 1/x

@AdamHollowayMP Tactically hereabouts means voting Labour. I will vote Labour to remove a #ConSelfServative MP. I'm an ex-Labour Party member who then joined @TheGreenParty as the only truly socialist *electable* party then available to me 2/x

And they're still electable, as they've proved in local Government, across the country, ever since, and in Brighton Pavilion since 2010, and very nearly in a handful of other parliamentary seats, including Bristol. But NOT here, sadly. So I will hold my nose to oust Holloway 3/x

But then the first and highest priority, to prevent a repeat of eight years of #ConSelfServative criminality, preceded by five years of Liberal-assisted austerity, is muhfuggen ELECTORAL REFORM. Labour don't want it - First Past The Post works for them. 4/x

But THEY, in Government, work for US the electorate - ALL the electorate, not just those who vote for them - and it is up to us, who KNOW why Electoral Reform is essential, to hold their feet to the fire, from @Keir_Starmer on downwards, and MAKE them do our bidding. 5/x

@Keir_Starmer If they won't, *I* will stand for Parliament and will NOT shut up on this issue. As a rule, I don't hold with so-called Single-Issue Candidates, and I wouldn't BE vocal on just one issue, but Electoral Reform of First Past The Post is How We Will Get Everything Else Done. 6/x

@Keir_Starmer And keep a minority #ConSelfServative vote from bacoming an unassailable parliamentary majority, as it has been since late 2019. That must NEVER happen again. Binning most of Erskine May wouldn't be a bad idea, either. This bunch or corrupt hoofclunges have shown WHY. 7/x

Assuming that all Members of the House are "honourable" and requiring anyone NOT in Government to behave as if that's true, under threat of sanction or suspension from the House, is meaningless when they lie as effortlessly, consistently, and unrepentantly as we all know they DO.
