Tom’s very depressing day

It’s reported that “Labour” is offering the LibDems an immediate Bill to ditch FPTP in favour of AV and a referendum on further change afterwards. This cannot be delivered; Labour MPs will not support it. I do hope some senior LibDems are reading this.

I once witnessed the spectacle of a dog being offered a walk and food at the same time. It ran in circles, terrified of losing the walk if he went for the food, and terrified of losing the food if it went for the walk.
