Don't worry, no doubt there'll be a queue of subcontractors ready to go door to door on retirement homes flogging Citizencards or similar.

Going full Charles II I see.
Get away with this patronising shit.
In my small northern town's high street, the coffee shops are the only places that are ever busy.
Wonder how many of those new working class Tory voters have incomes tied to the living wage...

EU is already anticipating that, hence the move to bung off big parts of the deal after the transition period is finished.
It's going to be a wafer thin deal that likely damages England years down the line for a good few decades. Itll boost the break up of the uk, that's for sure.
Cummings will accept it to give bojo the bullshit lie that brexit is done by December next year whilst years and years of negotiations continue in the background.
Just about averts no deal but not the damage a wafer thin deal will inflict. Tories dont want a repeat of the poll tax riots.
Partly, will definitely read it fully and post my thoughts before I post about Jess Phillips.
It might be a learning experience for her, I don't know she might come out the other side different if she gets challenged on stuff during the race. It might be a complete car crash as well but that might be good in its own way as well.
Sadly she is ignoring it, only tweeting people that are dunking on black women calling her out.
Well it's probably going to get rough for her on the hustings then, humiliating car crash and hopefully really low votes.
Labour and Tories voted against it. Our parliament uses proportional representation.
I'll never vote for Labour again.
Jess Phillips will be CHUCKAAAAA part deux.
Big amounts of media attention and predictions of how she will walk it only to flop, and flop hard on the big stage. She is going to get a large, cold dose of reality when she is outside of her bubble.
She should angle a position in the SC, going for leader will kill.her career. The membership will eat her alive.

Look at your hands, count your fingers, that's it, that's how many months we'll exist for
Don't tell me there is no magic money tree now that the tories have a stonking majority?
So Zac Goldsmith's peerage has been confirmed.
Lovely stuff. Even a lot of the Mail lot are pissed, although many are their usual twattish selves. "Thoroughly well deserved - Sir Zac Goldsmith - has a nice ring to it".
Amazing how nothing you say or do actually matters anymore.

This further cements Clive Lewis as my favourite for the job.
I like the stuff about electoral reform, not sure about party democracy stuff, i would want the electoral reform first because then there would be a pressure valve to allow realignment. he's middle of the pack so far, but it's just an opening pitch and he can put more policy ideas forward later.
Yeah, sounds alright. Further democratise the party, and craft the good policies into a narrative. I could get on board with that
Party democracy stuff (open selection/mandatory reselection) is going to be very appealing to lots on the left who were disappointed this was an area Corbyn never fully pulled the trigger on. Obviously the electorate as a whole doesn't really care about stuff like that, but it's a smart pitch to get momentum types on board for a leadership race.
Proportional representation is a must if the UK hopes to survive.
I really like it but it's the left, we will end up fighting with nowhere to go, if you had electoral reform first then i just think it would be healthier, the party feels like a prison sometimes full of people who hate each other, but won't let go.
Now this is something worth forming an official pact over, I mean rock solid no fucking about. Best placed gets the shot.
That and photo IDs, it's terribly suspect. Is there even much voter fraud to worry about, isn't it like a few convictions in decades or something insane. Secrets act too, all seems like a very suspect recipe to control power and stop anyone who dares to speak the truth about corruption etc. What russian interference....voter fraud is destroying democracy. I suppose as usual people will fall for it and the hellscape continues.
At least we haven't heard anymore about making discussions of tactical voting an issue, that was some weird shit.
There is no semblance of even a slight voter fraud problem in the UK. It is entirely voter suppression but the media will make it seem like voter fraud is a big issue so people will think it's necessary.
I think I'm at the stage of do whatever it takes to kick the fuckers out, if it means only having one policy of voting reform and temp pact I would go for it.
I don't think I could stand 10 years where we finally learn we might never get back in without it. If Clive Lewis ends up being the only one who talks about this stuff then he's going to be hard to say no to.
