@jburnmurdoch @RoryStewartUK This has been known for years & hopfully this will be the motivation to sort it out. The previous AV referendum was a red herring 1/2 step, muddied by boundary changes & a lack of support from the conservatives in the coalition. UK needs to wake up to the injustice of #FPTP

I just can’t get past Labour winning 65% of seats off 34% of the vote. Absolutely wild mismatch between the headline result and, well, everything else. Britain is now a multi-party system, and first-past-the-post can’t cope.

I turn on the @BBCr4today or @LBC all I hear the f*ucking @reformparty_uk and @Nigel_Farage. What is inconsistent is the vote share & overall turnout is that a vote for Reform & Labour are both anti-conservative votes. The election is not a vote for anything but against 14years

How CAN we mend our broken trading relationship with Europe? (Go on say “Customs Union”…)

@RoryStewartUK Sunak’s point about free movement will ring loud and clear for those that will vote for conservative already.

@RoryStewartUK I think this style works better than you think. But maybe I'm work. The really question, will it nudge the ballot… nope

The problem for Rishi Sunak is that this is not a debating competition. Even if he seems to win most of these arguments and pins Keir Starmer down, it will only make him look to many as though he is patronising, privileged and aggressive.

@RestIsPolitics I voted Sunak not because he is honest or trustworthy, nor am I voting conservatives, but because of Sunak’s style of argument and confidence, he is debating well and getting the same points over and over. It's a style that many will fall for.

@IanDunt Seriously, I think we should have two topics for debate.

Also: TV debates are such a sack of shit. HOW WILL YOU FIX THE NHS IS 30 SECOND. EXPLAIN YOUR ENTIRE TAX POLICY IN TEN SECONDS. I dunno how you fix it, but there must be a better way than this. No-one on earth is learning a goddamn thing.

Right. TV debates. Basically the worst possible way to spend an evening. I'm starting with this. I do not rule out escalating to rum and possibly arsenic.

And it’s out in to the world today for the paperback edition of How They Broke Britain. I’m so proud of this & so delighted by its success so far that anything else will be a bonus now… amzn.eu/d/jcM9A1g

Nice to see you leaping forth to a good trolling sesh @carolvorders! Think we can both agree that the only stench here emanates from Angela’s inability to answer basic questions and Sir Keir’s unwillingness to ask them… >>> dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… Your logic is that no-one should dare question Sir @Keir_Starmer or @AngelaRayner - people who want to run our country. Fair enough, an odd position, but it seems to be serving you well as an online tool of Labour HQ… Given the level of half-truth vitriol, it’s almost as you’ve woken up and Alastair Campbell & the @UKLabour Party spin machine are there to draft your bile for you! Don’t worry, unlike you - I won’t accuse you of having an ‘obsession’ - but given the level of second rate googling this extended tweet must have taken, it’s either @labourpress handout or someone spent far too long googling me, which would be… obsessive.. I’m sure it’s all your own work, unlike your #copyandpaste Shadow Chancellor Pal, @RachelReevesMP >>> express.co.uk/news/politics/… PS. As you have never run for elected office - not enough 💷 in it for someone clearly as avaricious as yourself - it’s a bit strange to have a go at me for putting myself forward and winning a seat that had been Labour held since it’s creation and has since been abolished by the @BCEReviews… but each to their own I suppose! PPS “⏰ Tick Tock Dick” - what is that??? Weird

Daily Mail's 793rd front page re Angela Rayner with letter from Richard Holden @RicHolden Tory Chair + the stench of Holden's desperation (no constituency for him in GE) & obsession... A few Holden facts 🔹Fined £100 for dropping litter after having a go at "litter louts" 🔹Signed off extra £10,000 for Lee Anderson 🔹Obsessed with Starmer/Rayner. 🔹His false claims linking Starmer to a Covid Labour quiz event were mocked. The event was online. 🔹Demanded local police reopen Beergate....everyone cleared. 🔹Tory MP said Holden "would be willing to stoop as low as he could go"...seems he's right 🔹Holden 2019 new MP with tiny majority. 🔹Has no constituency for new general election after boundary changes 🔹Tried to be candidate for a safe seat but lost his bid. Awwwww.... 🔹Lied to constituent about energy bill payments for his second home @BlockedByHolden #MondayMotivation.... Tick Tock Dick ⏰
