Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Paul Holden explains how the group 'Labour Together' began its campaign against critical media outlets by targeting & smearing journalists & organisations on the left, & this was celebrated by many centrist journalists at the time.

I’m not normally that person but….

It’s really annoying that Democracy for Sale a has hardly been credited anywhere in last 24 hours for breaking story of Labour Together paying to spy on journalists *almost two weeks* ago

Hadn’t expected Tory press office to be the exception!

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧡1/10

We are too integrated into American tech to do all of this right now, but we have switched from Spotify to Qobuz for our music streaming. They pay the highest royalties to musicians, have the highest quality sound, and cost about the same www.qobuz.com/gb-en/discover
