We're all old enough to recall how silent these shrill opposition noises were when it came to Partygate and PPE fraud

This is turning into a Trumpian challenge on the Labour Gov't so as to seek advantage for GE2029

Let's see how this runs together with the local election results

Talking of context, 🇬🇧 🇳🇴 & 🇪🇺 all committed to raising defence to 3.5% GDP
But they need to:
- update threat & response theory
- resolve procurement & collaborate
- decouple from 🇺🇸
- agree how to fund... ideally QE or bonds, not cuts

I find your suggestion that all private sector executives are replaceable both charming and naive!

However, when you mention Starbucks, have you considered how they are able to reduce their UK taxes through transfer pricing rules going back to 19th Century?

An excellent piece which I missed at the time...

If we are focusing upon energy inflation then surely our time would be far better spent looking at how to break the link between gas and electricity pricing?

Renewables need to be priced in as well as insulation etc

Labour stood on a platform of growth, ending austerity and renationalising trains etc

Growth needs investment, stability & suitably qualified workforce

Yet there's no NHS workforce plan let alone UK strategy

There was no mention of fulfilling Cameron's pledges, so we've joined the Greens!

🇬🇧 🇪🇺 & 🇳🇴 would be best advised to open up dialogue with both 🇮🇳 & 🇨🇳 across a number of chapters

We're moving extremely rapidly through this 4th industrial revolution where adult leaders will appreciate calm and sophistication

Perhaps the governance of G20 and UN needs to adapt from post 1945?

There may come a time in the not to distant future when 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 & 🇳🇴 will need to consider an accelerated decoupling from 🇺🇸 plus investment in tech, defence & services etc

For this we require vision, strategic capability and deep pockets, AKA QE

Best we prepare

Note that the Blukip portion has sunk below 40% for the first time in many years AND that we have a five party system baked in now.

All about turn out now plus how Greens handle their extraordinary growth spurt

We know May results will follow this pattern but 2027-29 is very unclear

Let's not forget that he also blamed those claiming benefits as being unaffordable - yet he's the one who skipped the country avoiding £4BN in tax

🇬🇧 is a G7 economy growing at 1.3% per year - debt:GDP ratio has stabilised and 🇬🇧 Gov't decides priorities, NOT reform rhetoric

Back in 2019 we had a four party system in the polls if not the ballot box as Brexit chaos led to Labour & Tory decline

Today we have five choices, with the Blukip share still on 45%

Your Party landed dead on arrival, but Greens very viable & will attract millions from "don't know" & Labour

The odd number look to be a fair call... but so many doubts around the evens!

It all comes down to GDP growth required NOW as well as clarity post 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 conflict and Trump in 🇺🇸

We are in the midst of 4th industrial rev'n plus hybrid war with 🇷🇺

The only way forwards is for 🇳🇴 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 to work together on this polycrisis

You're going to hit 20% then aim for 25%
Greens will perform spectacularly next May

All great stuff

But then the real challenge begins as you need to find more candidates, beef up your proposition, and deal with the inevitable print media onslaught

Do we wish to have a serious discussion or are all your energies directed towards attacking Streeting & Labour?!

Try looking up the impact of demographics since 2015 AND underfunded Social Care

Simplistic approaches to the NHS employing 1M and servicing a population of 70M don't cut it!

Really?!
Long term waits > 1 year doubled from 2M to 4M under the Tories since 2010

Are we suggesting that too is down to NHS staff, or does Gov't policy & resourcing play its part?

Suggest that we consider the full picture around cutting waiting lists - from local health clinics to Apps, from a workforce plan to employer schemes.

And what about the largest drain on the NHS: social care?

We all need the lists to come down

Waiting lists have been coming down since Labour took office

Perhaps we should look at a broader range of solutions to maintain and accelerate the reduction of lists before talking only about pay?

Let's revisit after May 2026 elections:
- results across the country
- Polanski & Greens next level
- Tories change leader?
- Blue Labour challenged?

The main point is that 🇬🇧 politics has finally shifted from post war two party, broad church set up to a clear three party set up.

Where we had centre left and centre right, we now have technocratic centre, Alt-right & Green / Left

Same as 🇫🇷 but FPTP

2026 will confirm trend

Not really!

We're faced with the existential challenge of rebuilding our relationship with 🇪🇺, retaining ECHR, ramping up defence spending...

And exploring what life, economy and government looks like in the 2030s, once this 4th industrial revolution really takes off

Or letting Farage win!

"Encourage the pre- conditions for revolution - vote (with) Tory!"

Whatever happened, has happened!

But those behind this fracture of the "broad church" (that has been Labour forever) have always calculated that the SCG were subject to Stockholm syndrome!

2025 sees Polanski convert the Greens into an alternative that may well mature into a major force

Blue Labour have been hiding in plain sight!

But politics is dynamic, so who's to say how Labour MPs and others respond to the results next May?

This isn't about what any one of us feel or believe, but how our spectrum shifts towards that of say 🇫🇷 or 🇩🇰

The point is that they've ditched much of their GE2024 coalition through this move, lack of vision and poor delivery!

Corbyn has been asleep so Polanski has marched Greens into the spaces left by Labour shift

U40s have picked up on this but what of those >50?

They really aren't and to pretend that they are is to completely misunderstand the landscape, and the gaps

Labour WAS always a broad church of soft Left and further Left which supported Parliamentary path

Now they've shifted to drop the Left & absorb one nation Tories AKA technocratic centrists...

Means finding enough credible candidates, building local capability AND evolving the national policy / presentation blend

Then there's the fourth estate!

In short, is the Green Party ready to handle immense growing pains?

Badenoch appears to forget who had a landslide victory for 2019-2024 Parliament, and how little the Tories actually achieved

The electorate won't forget and will make their choices known in years to come

💯 when it comes to grass roots organisation

My point is that Greens have travelled from 10% to 15% in 2025, 20% is a small stretch and 25% comes next!

Can we anticipate the provocations and responses as we approach GE2029?

I'm on the cusp of leaving Labour btw!

The landscape will be completely reshaped next May and akin to May 2019

Will Tories or Labour change leadership?
What will Greens learn and how will they develop for 2027?

The GTTO alliance and tech for tactical voting will evolve by GE2029 such that the electorate across the country should be well informed (despite print media)

The landscape will be similar to mid 2019 but the far right will carve out who stands where

Greens will climb to 20%+ soon enough!
