I've joined the Libreal Democrats.
They are far more progressive and left-wing than Starmers Labour Party.
Plus, the LibDems support:
•Proportional representation✅️
• A written constitution✅️
• The legalisation of cannabis✅️
• An elected Second Chamber✅️
The Libdems really should be voting against Rishi Sunak's smoking bill.
We are a party that believes in social liberties.
Informed, consenting adults should have the legal right to smoke tobacco if they want to!

This is why I find it so confusing why the "progressive left" is so hostile and disrespectful to Christianity and Judaism. Yet, It will so passionately defend Islam.
Even though Islam is obviously the most bigoted and regressive abrahamic religion.
@jacktism_
Also, many people who are convicted on crimes are not even immoral people.
Someone convicted of petty shoplifting or drug possession would be considered a "criminal"
@NotComradeVenus
Surly, your opressors aren't white people, but rich people? They are primarily responsible for slavary? And it's rich media barons who stur up racial hatred and bigotry against racial minorities to deflect hatred from themselves.

Together we can end First Past the Post, and win an equal vote for everyone, regardless of where you live or who you vote for: Proportional Representation. Want to join me?
@realtomjames198
Why do you think everyone who is critical of Starmer is pro Hamas or a Corbyn supporter?
Starmer has many, many flaws that deserve to be critised, to argue otherwise would ironically be very cultish.
@UKLabour
This will just further criminalise and marginalise, problematic drug users. Another out of touch policy, if Labour really wants to prevent crime and protect communities, legalise and regulate drugs and take the black market away from organised crime.
@TrueSlazac
coercion is not consent.
If the only alternative to having the surplus value you create stolen is to starve and sleep on the streets.
Then it is NOT consent but coercion and exploitation.
@TrueSlazac
Nope. I doubt anyone would willingly sell their organs. Free-market capitalism creates conditions desperate enough for people to do it, though.
@kevshaw99
Yes! The Labour Party offered the Libdems essentially no concessions during 2010 negotiations.
They foolishly believed that could offer the libdems nothing, and they would work with Labour instead of the Tories.
@Keir_Starmer
Every tweet you make is becoming less and less believable. They all just seem like meaningless slogans, or plans and pledges that complete lack any meaningful vision!
@___Riz1902
The whole concept of "throwing your vote away" is only because of FPTP.
With PR, there is no such thing. And until Labour backs PR, no one should feel emotionally manipulated into voting for Labour.
@getprdone
Delegates aren't the problem, at the Labour Conference in 2022 delegates overwhelmingly voted to back proportional representation in the next Labour manifesto. It is the isolationist leadership who do not want to share power with other progressives!
@darrengrimes_
Well, they've essentially just said, "God is great" in Arabic?
If a Catholic said "God is great" in English, would you consider them to be extremists?
@clairebubblepop
Honestly, that is so tragic. I'm so sorry that happened to you and your family :(
The fact that people have tried to make you feel ashamed for claiming welfare is frankly disgusting.

You Sir speak the truth, and your right carers are criminally underpaid in this county for the value they provide to society! ❤
@CherrySays_
I have been chronically suicidal, to the point of being hospitalised because of psychosis.
Now that I've recovered, I'm in a much better state of mind, and I'm really happy to be alive.
Suicidal people with mental illness need help, not death.
@marclanders
On my recent trip to London, I got talking to a man who was originally from Canada.
He told me that in Canada, weed is viewed the same as coffee.
I hope this demonstrates just how backwards our policies are compared to the rest of the world.
@RookEldritch
100%. The only argument people make for voting for Starmer is that he is slightly more socially libreal than the Tories.
Why should people be forced to vote for "the lesser of two evils"
If Labour are that concerned about vote spilling, then they should back PR!
Every devolved government body in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland uses a proportional voting system.
It is time for parliament to do the same with general elections.
@_MxMike
It is a difficult situation to be in because I know the Labour leadership has completely thrown Trans people under the bus for cheap political points. However, my local Labour parliamentary candidate is a massive advocate for trans rights. So I can justify voting Labour.
@jacktism_
What does Labour even mean by this? Will they ban the teaching of trans issues in all schools?
I can understand not teaching trans issues in primary schools and below, but in secondary schools and beyond, it's important.
@RScowler
Basically, her and Rishi made a deal that she would back him and allow him to become PM. During his leadership election in exchange for being made Home Secretary.
He knows he has no mandate

The ECHR was literally created to prevent tragedies like the Holocaust from happening again. If the UK goverment is breaching that, we know WE ARE FUCKED!
@smk30__
Certain human, democratic and minority rights need to be protected from political populism.
A written constitution would entrench such rights and protect individual liberties and rights from the tyranny of the majority.
@HorrorGorl
It's so funny how capitalist bootlickers will claim socialist countries aren't really socialist because they have capitalist elements to them. When literally, EVERY capitalist country on earth is a mixed market economy and has socialist elements.
@Liam_Holman99
Just because Owen Jones doesn't unconditionally support Labour doesn't mean he is a Tory enabler.
If Labour is that concerned about vote splitting, then they should back PR. In most functional democracies "wasted votes" are not a thing.
@ToriatheistTori
This is ridiculous logic. Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc, were all atheists. Does that mean we should hold all atheists accountable for the crimes of these dictators?
@Jacklewis0513
@jeremycorbyn
The most likey explanation is that Jermey probably had absolutely no idea who he was. As the former leader of the Labour party he is probably use to having selfies with random admirers on the street.
@jxckisbored
That's good! I already agree with a lot of the Libreal Democrats constitutional reforms. Such as proportional representation for general elections, a written constitution, and House of Lords reform.
The Libdems are Britain's only hope of breaking the two-party duopoly.
⚠️ Road Repairs - Tower Road, Coleshill⚠️
Today and tomorrow (24th & 25th)

The road will be closed from 9:30am to 3:30pm on both days, with access for residents and emergency vehicles only.
@scottsantens
Definitely! UBI would encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. It would also likely lead to massive advances in art, music, culture, and philosophy.
@NHSMillion
The only way to save our NHS from privatisation is to break the two-party duopoly.
Labour is useless, and it's just full of socially libreal Tories anyway.
We need a progressive coalition that is committed to a health service free at the point of use.
@hosae212
@LGBwiththeT
Bro you've been indoctrinated by the right-wing media to seriously think trans people are some sort of threat to society? A few decades back people would accuse homosexuals of "corrupting youth" and turning them gay. This moral panic about trans people is absolutely no diffrent.
A Labour-libdem coalition government is the only way to break the two-party duopoly of british politics.
In the event of a hung parliament, in which the libdems are the king-makers. They could strongarm the Labour Party into providing a referendum on proportional representation
@s30k__
Yeah, I mean because the bible is just a collection of fables, inspired texts, and testimonies. Its scriptures, particularly in the Old Testament, are not taken very seriously by most modern Christian denominations.

@___Riz1902
That is a fair point, but Labour knows FPTP benefits the Tories, and yet they won't commit to reforming our electoral system. Simply because they do not want to share power. The national interest should be put before party tribalism.
@RachelCDailey
Despite how the media may frame it, the vast majority of people in this country are compassionate and support a strong, well-funded welfare state.

The soviet union didn't even fail. it willingly dissolved.
If an Empire eventually dissolving means it "failed," then the Roman Empire failed, the British empire failed, and the US empire is on the verge of falling.

One of the core issues with the death penalty is that not everyone is treated equally in a court of law. Do you think Jeffery Epstein, for example, would receive the same penalty for murder as a poor, ethnic minority male? Obviously not...
@JackEDeakin
@Keir_Starmer
Or more realistically, the Tory Party has absolutely imploded so people view the Labour party as the slightly less evil.
The poll lead is souly built on Tory-hate, not Labour support or enthusiasm.
@PolitlcsUK
No, they are not. Rishi is just saying this rubbish to keep his backbench MPs off his back.
In July/August I guarantee he will say "he has failed to deliver for the British people" and will call an election.
@tzanninis
@johwilcha
This is precisely why I joined the Libdems. Labour will never willingly back electoral reform.
They must be strongarmed into backing PR by a libdem coalition.
@JustTreatment
@wesstreeting
This is a temporary measure to tackle NHS waiting lists. The health of the poorest should not be put on the line to maintain idealogical dogma.
Let's just get the waiting lists down, and get the NHS back on it's feet.

Psycopathy is a spectrum, I think people who are higher on the spectrum are more drawn to positions of power than the general population.
