1/ People have to do things at their own pace. Theory and practice have to coalesce. It doesn’t happen to all of us in a shouty political way. The truth will out during the GE which I predict will be soon. I’m grateful to Brexit and people like you. My friend @ukskies got me into this. His passion woke me up to the fact that moaning at bus stops and dinner parties and on twitter is not going to stop this thing 2/

1/ And the hostile environment applies to most activities that are concerned with the govt serving their citizens/potential citizens. Look at UC and PiP. What people experience at times of deep anguish and stress to gain support at difficult times in their lives is scandalous. 2/ Again government policy seems to have been driven by the half-baked and inaccurate reports from the gutter press, driving people to despair and sometimes suicide.

1/ Another scary article that can only strike even greater fear in the hearts of the #3million. Every day the willful and wanton desctruction of this country becomes increasingly apparent yet our pittiful excuse of a government cling to their defunt idea of UK independence from 2/ The EU. I know in my heart that sense will eventually prevail. In fact, I think we all need to cling to that hope and fight for it. I know that it is disheartening frightening and depressing @HeleneMidhurst but you must not give up hope. Hope is what keeps people going.

1/This is not the right time to form a new party. It would confuse voters who are not willing to trust an untried party. It took the Soc Dem/Libdems over 20 years to gain credibility and traction. If ppl need a political voice that is sincere and not rhetoric driven 2/ give the LibDems or the Greens serious consideration. Vince is a clever and honourable man. He argues cogently, he gives meaning to facts, he is a founder member of @peoplesvote. @LibDems policies are people-centred and fair. @ LibDems were stupid in 2010 and have paid the
