   There’s a void at the heart of Starmer’s government where vision and ideas should be https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/08/28/theres-a-void-at-the-heart-of-starmers-government-where-vision-and-ideas-should-be/ Starmer made clear yesterday that Labour is focused on maintaining the status quo rather than enacting meaningful change, missing, as it does, the ethical values and strategic thinking needed for delivering effective government. His is a government without purpose, and that's deeply troubling.

     @ClaireFromClare @RichardJMurphy if they don't bridge as well, he wouldn't be able to see their reactions or replies...therefore itd only do good if you go there and request the same from them.🤷♂️

     • Bridgy Fed for Bluesky

     @RichardJMurphy While I delight in the Fediverse & its advantages, I am keeping an eye on Prof Trish Greenhalgh & others now posting mainly on Bluesky, and saw some people wishing they could read you there. Maybe worth bridging so that they can read what you post here? To do this, follow @bsky.brid.gy

     @ClaireFromClare @RichardJMurphy sure but it's ephemeral interaction if users on both sides aren't bridged.

     Bridge needs to get rid of the opt in by following crap, it's only getting in the way of full, open communication.

     @BeAware Yes but if they do that it works well. Anyway it's a significant first step to be readable?
     & if people wish to interact, they can do so in one place rather than in the fragmented conversations that would result from cross-posting? #bridgy seems capable of reuniting the lost worlds of #ScienceTwitter.
