With polling like this, First Past the Post would deliver results that can only be described as random. They almost certainly wouldn't be remotely representative of what the country wants. It's time to admit that our 19th century voting system is no longer fit for purpose.

The full report by the Tony Blair Institute is out, in which they detail how copyright should be "rebooted" in the AI age. It reads like a big tech lobbying document. I hope they will be asked serious questions at its launch in London today. Some very brief highlights: 🧵 1/8

I think liberals in the West need to understand that they have not stumbled across any kind of contradiction or hypocrisy in the Global far right. When they said “people have a right to free speech” they simply never saw racialised people as people to begin with 🧵

Fascism on the rise, domestic violence kills thousands of women, rape is effectively decriminalised, COVID corruption goes unpunished, hate crime and child sexual abuse are rampant. But the police, those faithful servants of capitalism, are arresting peaceful protestors against climate breakdown.

1. One of capitalism’s greatest successes is to shut down our imaginations. With the help of its favoured tools - neoliberalism and fascism - it persuades us that “there is no alternative”. Our first task is to re-ignite our moral imaginations and name our alternatives. 🧵

To be clear, the government has decided that this is an acceptable consequence of their fiscal decisions. To put it another way, they're happy with this as an outcome of what they've done. 250,000 people.

It's really not that hard. We understand that Labour had a difficult inheritance. It's more that, since taking office, Labour has (it sometimes feels deliberately) stuck its middle finger up at almost everything Labour voters care about. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

1. Today the Tories unveil their new policy: ripping up the commitment to net zero by 2050. Kemi Badenoch, with no evidence, claims "it can’t be achieved without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us." What the evidence shows is the opposite. We can't prosper without it. 🧵

It can be very easy to get lost in statistics over the proposed #benefitscuts. No doubt at least 2/3 of the press will now be running opinion pieces about why our “bloated benefits bill” needs cutting and why “workshy” sick people need to be “encouraged” back to work. 🧵 #chronicillness #disability
