Issue 86
Good Thursday Afternoon, It’s time to take a look at the polls! In this week’s issue of Magnified, we analyse the state of the polls after the first week of the General Election campaign and ask what scope there is for the Conservatives to narrow the…Redfield and Wilton Strategies
Today Jess Phillips has written to the Prime Minister about the conduct of one of his members of parliament, ex-PM Liz Truss.
It's a serious matter. Let's hope Rishi! takes it seriously.

#GE2024 What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry. #UKPolitics
EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.
The UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill 🗑️ 🥳
Getting this rights-busting legislation binned off at this late stage is not just good timing.
It's down to civil society challenging the dangerous proposals in the Bill every step of the way.
The next government is put on notice.

Liz Truss: 45 days in 45 seconds

Apparently the Tories are having difficulty raising money for essentials.
Welcome to our world, fuckers!
When I was 18 I could live, work and study anywhere in the EU.
Not only have the Tories taken that away, they want to force young people to do national service.
Sunak is now almost literally role playing the plot of Starship Troopers ... "We need you all. Service guarantees citizenship"
"Would you like to know more?"

Tory offer to young people:
1. We’ll take away your smartphones;
2. Compulsory maths exams until 18; and
3. “Compulsory voluntary” service thereafter.
They just need:
4. You’re not going out looking like that; and
5. Don’t use that tone of voice with me. #UKPolitics

The Tories have introduced voter id to UK elections on the flimsiest evidence and with limited docs allowed for id.
The Veterans Minister asked for the new Veterans Cards to be allowed as voter id, but the Gov refused.
This leaked doc from the minister shows clearly the reason: the Tories are trying to stop young people from voting because the evidence is that young people tend not to vote Tory in great numbers.

“Ofcom has said it is starting the process of considering a statutory sanction against GB News, after the channel was found to have broken due impartiality rules”

Brixham, a Devon harbour town, has been struck by an illness caused by a microscopic parasite - cryptosporidium - in the water!
About 16,000 households and businesses in the Brixham area have been told by South West Water (SWW) not to use their tap water for drinking without boiling and cooling it first.
Not an expert but it does strike me as symptomatic of the state of our water companies and water system. #Water #Sewage #ukpolitics

The Labour Party has been accused of “disgusting” behaviour towards a Palestinian man who lost his family in Gaza, after refusing to reveal what information the party has gathered on him.
Police dragged Dalloul Neder out of a Labour fundraising event attended by the party’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, in January, after he held up a picture of his late mother and told the audience: “I lost my family in Gaza… I want to show you my mum.”

Labour’s plan to boost care workers’ pay ‘could cost taxpayers billions’
Another day, another Article in The Times promoting the Tufton Street cabal who re unwilling to contribute to society but very eager to leech from the public purse. Intriguingly, they are called out on it (‘fink tank’ and paper) by all of the comments as of Sunday morning.
Social care costs - who would have thunk it?

Well the Patriarchal UK Media may be ignoring it but Mastodon is a buzz with Sandi Toksvig's "Women's Equality Party" taking their first councillor in Basingstoke, on more than 60% of the vote!

Guardian Balanced reporting
If anyone has ever taken the trouble to read the comments (when allowed) below any article on Scotland will have realised, many, if not all, readers (they definitely seem to have done so) take a rather different view.
One more for their collection of ‘balanced articles' I suppose, along with Crace, Rowson and many more.
