I am not somebody who is ever going to vote for a party that is led by Corbyn or Sultana but I appreciate choosing a good name is critical for this party. The Star Trek fan in me would like them to choose The Collective but none of those names seem appealing to me but you can make your own suggestion at the Your Party website.

I am assuming the next general election will be in 2029 and Sir Sadiq’s current term ends in…

I suspect MPs who use ChatGPT to reply to their constituents will be seen as not caring about their constituents and that never helps with re-election. TSE
The Telegraph report that [Diane Abbott] told an event at the Edinburgh Book Festival: “There were people around Jeremy encouraging him to set up a new party, and I told him not to. “It’s very difficult under first-past-the-post system for a new party to absolutely win. “If it wasn’t first-past-the-post, then you can see how a new party could come through, but I understand why he did it.” I agree with Diane Abbott but anything possible if we end up…
