Just so you know how seriously you should take this, there's a map in it that suggests that with tactical voting, Labour could win Reigate, where our current MP was first elected in *1997* #UKPolitics https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tactical-voting-general-election-tory-defeat-sunak-starmer-b2407871.html

“The current voter-ID system is, as it stands, a ‘poisoned cure’ in that it disenfranchises more electors than it protects.”

Currently, there is no requirement for MPs to consistently show up for their constituents. There is no job description for MPs, no minimum attendance requirement and no specific service standard. This needs to change.

So Corbyn standing would give the Mayoralty to a hard right-wing Trump supporting Tory and a fillip to the Tories generally.

RAAC was originally developed just as a thermal insulation material, not intended for structural use at all. Its rapid deterioration only became evident in the 1980s when it had already been widely (mis)used for roofs etc..
Yikes! 😬

What is especially interesting, though, is that most of those corporate donations come from private (as opposed to public) limited companies. The shareholders can't vote these donations down.

As expected, the Conservatives get the lion's share of company and individual donations. No surprises there.
