On a third of the vote, let that sink in. Even if two thirds don’t vote Reform they could still become the next government. Labour had a similar share of the vote last year. It’s time we had a fair, democratic electoral system.

Many tens of thousands of people in the years to come will have better lives and better deaths because of @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social - her calm principled leadership has been an inspiration. Few legislators have so great and permanent a positive impact and she takes her place among that noble few.

Gary Linkeker has been consistently bold, principled and spoken the truth clearly. The fact the BBC has now placed itself in direct opposition to these values demonstrates the spiral our media is in. We urgently need reform. Solidarity, once again, to Gary. ✊🏼

What has been agreed today will not undo the worst of the harm that Brexit caused; arguably, it could have gone much further Yet it does break the suffocating political consensus. For 1st time in nine years, there are steps to improve our relations with our EU neighbours rather than make them worse

At last night's Westminster event hosted by the @appgfairelections.bsky.social, we heard some very powerful speeches, including one by Abtisam Mohamed MP. Our democracy is in crisis. We need electoral reform - to end the chaos and start restoring trust in politics.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

There is no constituency where everyone likes the same food, or thinks the same way. The option that gets the most votes shouldn't be the only one that matters. Whether at dinner or at the ballot box, wouldn't it be fairer if we could all get what we asked for?

Ooh, I know this: it's because he's a bullshitting, imbecilic narcissist who is either (best case) too incompetent to avoid being played by Putin, or (worst case) an active Kremlin asset working for Putin from inside the Oval Office. Do I get a prize?

In 2024 it took… 24,000 votes to elect one Labour MP 49,000 votes for one Lib Dem MP 56,000 votes for one Tory MP 485,000 votes for one Green MP and 823,000 votes for one Reform MP. Wherever you live and whoever you support, we believe all votes should be equal. Do you agree?

Does this look like fair play to you? If our voting system was a horse race, Labour would only need to run one furlong to win, while the Greens or Reform would have to run at least 20. Fair play is a treasured British tradition. Let's make the finish line the same for everyone. #CheltenhamFestival

Victim of the Post Office Horizon scandal victim offered compensation after death. The slow process of compensation is utterly shameful and adding to pain. People are being bounced into accepting lower amounts. No one has been charged or prosecuted for this long running scandal.

It really is that simple. We want Proportional Representation because we believe that, in a democracy, nobody's vote should be more or less important than anyone else's. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Trump’s team are master illusionists—distracting the world’s public with drama, chaos & international brinkmanship while they quietly dismantle an already limited US democracy & crush free speech. Don’t be fooled by the spectacle. The real trick is happening behind the curtain.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

So, according to the grifting gobshite, Farage… Ukraine is corrupt, the Nazi salutes weren’t Nazi salutes and Zelensky was disrespectful to Trump for not wearing a suit… God knows why he’s given the time of day any more. Boot this trash off the airwaves. And out of our public life for good.
