Starmer ahead BUT: "polling suggests that Labour’s hopes of securing an overall majority remain on a knife edge...needs to win an additional 124 parliamentary constituencies". On course to win about 117 seats from Conservatives in England & Wales & about 6-8 from SNP in Scotland.

Agree with @Danjsalt here. Lots of gleeful snide sneering. I'm no Johnson fan, but I am a supporter of the aspirations of millions who voted for him in 2019. And the populist revolt of 2016 & demand for political realignment, will not be satisfied by technocrats- Sunak or Starmer
RT @Danjsalt: All the people smugly laughing about Johnson miss a few things

1. He will likely be back
2. Brexit is unlikely to be reversed
3. The trends that brought him to the fore and…

The government's #StrikesBill means those who legally vote to strike, complying with laws already in existence, can be forced to strike-break. Minister asks us to trust bosses' discretion to be fair/not harsh in how they punish anyone who fails to comply. I won't hold my breath.

Footage of stabbing rampage of children in a playground in #Annecy is so disturbing; courage of passer-by in contrast is so inspiring.

Shocker. Mind you, may be a shock for all those experts/politicians/journos who traduced the reputations of any of us who dared to suggest the preposterous notion: that closing down society & suspending civil liberties without ANY cost benefit analysis, was a tad irresponsible

Good thread. Will be really pleased if more on left understand why free speech and debating/talking politics MORE (not cancelling opponents) is in ALL our interests.
RT @LauraPidcock: 🧵There are elements on the ‘left’ who instigate & cheer de-platforming / no-platforming tactics, contributing to a culture that’ll never bode well for socialists. Surely we should be welcoming dialogue, challenge & debate - which takes us to a place of higher awareness? (1/8)

This is quite some thread on why UK is Terf Island (said proudly) & giving a lead internationally as home of dissenters to coerced gender ideology. It has history, law, philosophy & (whisper it) dares to be generous about Brexit voters. Very erudite & thought-provoking @Jebadoo2
