Saying you can't change the unfair voting system without a manifesto pledge endorsed by the unfair voting system you want to change, is the most Blarite, duplicitous piece of nonsense yet heard in UK politics.
@AndyBurnhamGM has lost before he's started.

-@AndyBurnhamGM clearly does support #PR but would he kick 200 rebels out of Labour and call a #GE to get it?

Looks like the leadership contest will be:
Blue Labour - Al Carns
Progress Right Labour - Wes Streeting
Soft Left Labour - Andy Burnham
Assuming Starmer resigns and doesnβt run. Is that our lot?
Suddenly Al Carns is EVERYWHERE. He intends to run for leader i.e. to be PM
LISTEN to him. The man is a TORY
This from Wikipedia
"Carns left the Royal Marines in 2024 so that he could stand as a candidate in the general election. He had previously supported and voted for the Conservative Party, and surprised his colleagues when he intended to stand as a Labour Party candidate"

Burnhamβs attempts to show he is different are over before he starts! At least people could claim Starmer misled them. Burnham is telling you upfront he is the same! Donβt waste your time. Labour is dead and we have a battle to win.

Fundamentally these NPF Elections are about what kind of Labour Party we want to beπΉ
To defeat the far-right we must rebuild a Labour movement that listens to its members & delivers for people.
That's why Mainstream exists. Nominate our NPF candidates at your next CLP meeting.

btw few will appreciate how grimly funny it is that this judge both issued a gagging order so that the filton 4 could not explain their motivation to the jury, and then also sentenced them according to a specific intent provision requiring them to have had a specific motivation

A few people are ignoring the very sinister aspects of this case - either because they donβt know, or because doing so is discomforting.
Put it alongside reduction of jury trials, blocking various people from entering UK & locking up people for holding signs. Turnkey tyranny.

If Restore splits Reformβs vote in Makerfield were at the point where #PR for next #GE will benefit literally every political party.
NOONE will object to bringing it straight in.

The #FPTP blackmail against Restore won't work as any result where they hold the balance of power, will finish #Farage. Restore voters want a Burnham win.

Fair Voting systems do not lead to paralysis - and they can deliver progress.
First Past the Post is delivering nothing but instability and chaos.
Fix politics so we can fix the country.

This is the sort of vote percentage @AndyBurnhamGM thinks is a democratic mandate to legislate #PR. π
Just legislate it Andy!

This is what a real leader is. People like Rupert Lowe get on their knees and bow to their billionaire master.
Zack stands up to them.

Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country.
Time for him to pipe down.

Superb this one - mainly because @mandascott challenges @Neal_Compassβs belief Burnham needs to win a #FPTP #GE with #PR in his manifesto, then legislate for the one after. π
βWhy not let us vote with #PR, then youβll get your mandate when the progressive majority wins?β
