General Election June 2017

It's on a type of paper known as "Goatskin" parchment. Which is not made of goat's skin.

I heard a rumour you use it for your IKEA shopping list.

Of course.

Now the 1922 meeting has concluded the phrase seems to be "getting on with the job" - pretty bland.

In other news, there are multiple non partisan debriefs happening over the next few weeks for all non Tory groups.

Turns out that whilst tactical 2017 were one of the most popular (along with ge2017 and progressive alliance) that there were tens of such teams.

We'll all be figuring out how to align, move faster, and spend the interim building tools and networks to do so.

It seems the Tories have helped inspire a new non partisan army of volunteers who now just want to bury the Tories under a labour landslide and deliver every other seat possible to another party.

Though electoral reform would be nice too.

Great :)

And thanks for all the work on this.

Yep. Good work dk

Top work. I appreciate your work and would love to contribute to the cause in future. Skills, time, social media or money are all options.

I thought it was printed on Vellum (which actually is made of animal's skin; not necessarily goat). Archaic, but not that surprising for the UK legislature...

Glorious Leader!

Another MP leaving the committee room said: “She was very concerned about people who have lost their seats. The party is going to help them; some of them are in *dire financial situations.*

Dire financial situations ?

There are people tonight who have no home to go to, they have lost absolutely everything, so our focus must be on support to them.

Good work. VB.
Get Owen Jones along:

Avaricious MPs expecting 5 years at £70K,
spouse on the Constituency payroll at £35K for 'secretarial services'*
large mortgage on London flat,
not enough Westminster time served to line up post-policitican career as 'advisor' to a private health company = 'dire financial situation'

Thersa May?

Dire financial situations ?

Probably working class Tories who never learned to manage their money and spend it all on fags and booze.

Finally a Tory I can get along with!

Dire financial situations ?

Yeah, fuckum, they need to get down the jobber and check out the easy life on benefit street.

Just discovered what a lovely balanced chap our new justice secretary David Lidington is!
Where do they find these people and who votes for them?

Fucking Owen Jones.

He's just too emotional and moralising to convey anything of substance.

What even is that video?

It's a call to arms against by progressives against an austerity programme led a by an establishment keen to continue the movement of wealth from poor to rich.

It's just vitriol and full of half-truths. It makes me think I don't want anything to do with 'progressives'.

He's like a left-wing Isabel Oakeshott. A cliche.

Most progressives are more liberal or centrist, or left leaning but not full left. I suspect the call from the left to encourage progressives is more to add numbers and ensure a labour victory... And this is fine. Because no progressive thinks that having this mess of the Tories is better than labour. The only thing progressives ask, is for electoral reform to be on the agenda and to avoid enabling the Tories again in future.

I don't think I have a handle on the term Progressive tbh.

The work you're doing inlieu of electoral reform is certainly Progress and is appreciated.
