Funnily enough, I expect this works the other way around now. All the cultural pressure tugs to the Left. Without a secret ballot, we might have more Labour governments.
RT @EnglishRadical: The Ballot Act, which required that elections be held by secret ballot, became law #OnThisDay 1872. Before the Act, voters had to declare their choice of candidate openly, which led to intimidation and bribery by employers and landlords. The b…

Leeds City Council, and its local education authority, were under Labour throughout @trussliz’s school years. LCC was led by George Mudie until 1989, then by Jon Trickett. Hope this helps.
RT @bphillipsonMP: Liz Truss claims she became a Tory because kids at her school “weren’t getting the opportunities they should have”.
Liz spent her entire time at school under Conservative governments.
Who does she think was in charge of edu…

The first question - quite rightly - is about the cost of living. Disappointing that no one mentions the cheapest and most obvious way of reducing it, namely scrapping (or at least suspending) tariffs on imports. #ITVdebate

I wish supporters of all five leadership contenders would stop claiming that ONLY their candidate can beat Labour. It’s obviously untrue.

RT @SAshworthHayes: On current growth rates, Poland is set to be richer than Britain in 12 years time. Between Westminster and Whitehall, Britain's failure to grow can be explained in four words: it’s not allowed to.

Good Heavens, Holmes! Might it be something in the structure of state bureaucracies themselves that is the problem?
RT @FlackJimmmy: @DanielJHannan Virtually every public service has declined since you lot have been in power so if it’s not money that the issue then you must be doing something else that’s very wrong.

As long as the West was dependent on Gulf oil, US Presidents had to consort with some murderous dictators: "He may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he's our son-of-a-bitch".
Now, America should be free to say, "He may be our son-of-a-bitch, but he's a son-of-a-bitch".

“Ballet has strongly gendered roots in terms of the movement vocabulary.”

Why, though, are Conservative candidates dancing to the tune of hostile broadcasters? There will be plenty of party hustings meetings; but most of the remaining candidates won’t even reach that stage. Why attack each other on air at the behest of anti-Tory media? #C4LeaderDebate

A final thought on leaving this vast, brave, gorgeous land. How bizarre to be in a place where there are still residual mask mandates, bans on the unvaccinated and random tests for some incoming travellers. Is there some new virus about that Trudeau is trying to keep out?
