Political parties stop selecting terrible candidates for East Kilbride challenge (difficulty: impossible).

"To stand any chance of staying in power, Labour must cease being Reform-light and begin prioritising the investment that will improve working people’s lives” @drjogrady.bsky.social on the government’s immigration white paper. Read our statement ⬇️ www.ucu.org.uk/article/1401...
