Everyone who sees or hears the media, especially the ā€œbalancedā€ BBC, doing this needs to complain directly to them. Already BBC news talking about farage and 4 seats in the hourly headlines, and ignoring the Greensā€™ 4 seats

Life expectancy in the UK has plummeted under Tory rule because of wealth transfers from the poorest to the richest. Maybe it's time the 0.1% actually contributed instead of being given tips on how to continue draining wealth from the rest of us.

Dear British media, you need to understand that Farage is not just a pantomime villain who is good for your ratings. He is a very dangerous, man. Stop giving him disproportionate airtime to the Greens.

Scroll through BBC Politics and there's two stories about Reform & Nige on the page and not a single one about the Greens.

If you're wondering, "OTH" here is the entire Green Party. Both GPEW & Reform have 4 seats yet they choose to to highlight Reform and relegate Greens to "other". Curious etc.

I expect a lot of us will be relieved come Friday morning. And thatā€™s totally fine. But we need to be prepared to do more, be vocal, and speak to those in power. We canā€™t just chill after marking an X and sit back. -14

Iā€™m not judging anyone for how they vote (unless itā€™s Tory or Reform in which case fuck off). The options are not stellar. And I get why people will vote Labour, in spite of distaste at much of their messaging. The fatigue of 14 years is real. But ā€œgetting the Tories outā€ is just the beginning. -13

But itā€™s something we have to consider if weā€™re to see better times. Sniping from a keyboard isnā€™t going to help. Only action. Only getting out and about, making change, becoming a thorn in the side while spreading love. -12

So how do we stand up and make a government take notice? Writing to your MP? I meanā€¦ Itā€™s nice when they reply but it feels ineffectual. Mass mobilisation? Cool story bro, but unlikely. No revolts please, weā€™re British. How do we become the prick itā€™s hard to kick against? Iā€™ve no idea. -11

So whatā€™s the point of this recollection? I doubt weā€™ll collectively wake up on Friday 5th July and be dancing in the streets. At best many of us will breathe a resigned sigh. Itā€™ll be more ā€œThank fuck the Tories are out, now what?ā€ And I just donā€™t know. Itā€™s hard to be optimistic. -9

Election thoughts, then and now. Friday 2nd May 1997, I found myself on an early morning train from Bristol to London. I was working in a comic store chain and a friend had engineered a trip up to visit him at the head office. This had been booked months before the 97 election was called. -1

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe theyā€™ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.

To push the next Labour government to be less right wing and socially conservative, we need a Liberal Democrat official opposition rather than wasted votes.

This is illuminating on the mindset of the Tories, from Sunday Timesā€™ Tim Shipmanā€™s account of Theresa Mayā€™s Brexit troubles. The Cabinet decided the party was more important than the country.

I think itā€™s probably more the last point (women of colour and anti-genocide ppl leaving) that has the greatest effect on reach. thatā€™s the main way that skeets are spread here, through reskeets.. so when lots of the people who used to reskeet you and have conversations with you left, reach dropped
