PR would produce a permanent mulch in the middle with dirty political desks cutting across the electorate. Better to have a proper choice & cut out the third party of government, a self serving Whitehall
RT @gw_emily: @john4brexit Except without PR and with a top down dominant party set up of the two major parties how can you know they actually represent the people rather than being an heavily steered duopoly?

You only talk about taxing business and people never about creating growth
RT @Ed_Miliband: These enormous profits are the unearned windfalls of war. And every excess pound that the energy giants rake in is at the expense of British families.
Labour would be doing the fair thing and bring in a proper windfall tax on oil + gas giants to help freeze council tax this year https://t.co/scrn59FvgE

Confidence and innovation are there. But high prices and high taxes are deterring investment and hindering growth.

I have advocated for years doing away with the first division Mandarins and instead having political appointments in order to deliver what the electorate voted for

Not a good look for someone who was a law officer. At the very least a massive lack of good judgement.
RT @_HenryBolton: If true, Sue Gray and Kier Starmer have both demonstrated an appalling lack of integrity - far worse than anything Boris Johnson’s been accused of - and have surely stuck two fingers up at our democratic system. It makes Starmer unelectable. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/05/01/sue-gray-held-secret-talks-keir-starmer-partygate-role/
