People need to get behind @carolinevoaden to win and beat the Tories in Totnes.
RT @SDevonPrimary: Latest polls showing a Tory win in South Devon (Totnes).

But if all Labour, Lib Dem and Green voters get behind one opposition candidate, they’ll beat the Tories 59% to 34%.

South Devon Primary will select the best candidate. Let’s #WinAsOne together

If you think childcare only concerns "working mums" then your idea of parenthood must involve some some sexist assumptions.

Dads can't work without childcare too. It affects us all.
RT @SimonClarkeMP: Siobhan is quite right. Childcare is *hugely* and unnecessarily expensive in England and we should do all we can to support working mums.

Long queues are a part of the miserable lived experience of Brexit. Who are you to say it is "unimportant"?
RT @DXW_KC: This from a journalist who left the BBC so he could pursue deeper analysis and rigorous thinking…

There are good arguments for, and against, Brexit. Independence, global power, sovereignty, economics (and more) are all part of that debate.

The length of passport queues, isn’t.

Josh would be a great MP, him winning puts the Tories closer to being out of power, and he really can win as this poll shows.

If you want the Tory government out, please help him now.
RT @JoshBabarinde: 🏆Modelling like this is awesome BUT it can only become a reality if matched by a BIG campaign on the ground which, very honestly, costs an arm and a leg!

🪙Can you help to make this poll a reality by donating to help power my campaign for Eastbourne? https://www.e…

Actually, agreed.
But the only way to "stop the boats" is to provide a safe and legal route for refugees to apply for asylum in the UK.
RT @nigel_farage: The sad deaths in the Channel this morning should make us more determined than ever to stop the boats.

Why would people fleeing war not want to continue studies (which they mat begun elsewhere) or care about their children's education?

Why does this Tory MP not understand that refugees from war are people like us.
RT @LBC: 'These are not people coming here fleeing war, they're economic migrants!'

Tory MP Jonathan Gullis says there are migrants in hotels 'studying for PhDs' and 'when they find out which school their kids are being sent to complaining about Ofsted …

@tomorrowsmps @SamCoatesSky 'Touching', or pathetic.

@OllieBradfield1 @markpack @tomorrowsmps I will hazard a guess. Mid 2000s. The party was arguably most serious about getting into power then. And I would guess Sheffield Hallam or Eastleigh? Or possibly Yeovil for Ge2001?

@SarahLudford I imagine argument deployed to distinguish the Commissioners was that their not legislators so no dual legislative mandate, but clearly the practical reality is odd and contradictory.

@adamboultonTABB I'd be delighted to see Frost run the ECHR argument to test whether it helps him.

I've watched the first two episodes of #HarryandMeghan They come over as warm, decent people.

I see nothing "insulting to the Queen" or "to our culture" as per hysterical comments on the program.

Meghan has a point on curtseying. It is odd. To your nan, in private, even odder.

@adamboultonTABB John Thurso gave up his hereditary peerage to bevan MP.

There was an issue about life peers being elected as MEPs. @SarahLudford may know. There was a ECHR argument it was unfair to bar their election. Resolved by peers taking leave from HoL to serve in EP, IIRC.

@SAThevoz @Mr_John_Oxley @JamesHarrisNow My theory about Nixon is that if he had won the close election of 1960 he might have been different to the person he was after winning in 1968.
