I read a lot, watch TV a lot and boast a lot about being from Yorkshire. Most would probably call me a woke lefty but I’m too old now to need a label. European to my core.

FPTP works well if you have just two parties competing. But two party politics is dead in the UK. what is needed is a change in the parliamentary voting system and an end to the expectation that 35% share of the vote gets a huge majority. 35% of the vote should get a minority of seats.

These women were clearly, obviously, deliberately targeted, murdered in fact, by Israel, and anyone who denies it is a liar, a coward or a fool.
