Happy to hear that Jonathan the tortoise is indeed still alive. But not everything from the 1800s has aged so magnificently… Our voting system for a start.

When a party is built around Nigel Farage’s image, instead of strong people and serious organisation, chaos is inevitable.

We’ve just launched the UK Democracy Lottery 🎉 It’s a simple way to support our work defending democracy, while having the chance to win prizes from just £1. And it’s already paying off – last week we had ten winners, including two cash winners!

Reform insiders are worried that links to Andrew Tate, Tommy Robinson and other extreme figures could repel the newer voters Nigel Farage needs, especially women. Their problem is bigger than just one rotten apple.

In other words, Reform UK were sore losers. Straight out of the Donald Trump playbook. When the results don't go your way, call foul play and discredit them. They're not interested in fixing anger and disillusionment. They're fuelling it for their own gain.

“Reform UK has nothing to offer but chaos, grievance, and division.”

A step in the right direction. If money is shaping our politics, the public deserves to know who is paying, who is benefiting, and who is being heard. Democracy works best when voters can see clearly who is trying to buy influence.

The government says it wants to clean up politics. But its Bill still leaves loopholes that are too easy to exploit. Parliament should either ban corporate donations outright. Or strengthen the rules properly. Hidden influence has no place in our democracy.

Our democracy is becoming a playground for mega-donors. The latest donation data showed Reform UK took another £3million from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. Helping drive nearly £65m in donations across UK parties in 2025. That is not healthy democracy. It is a billionaire arms race.

Transparency alone is not enough. The bigger question is why so much political power can still be concentrated in so few hands. We need bans or significant restrictions on corporate and foreign donations. Voters should influence decisions. Not the elite.

More than £170 MILLION flowed into populist-right media in just a few years 🤑 That should worry EVERYONE. This is not just about party donations anymore. It's about who is purchasing our democracy... While the rest of us lose.

💸 The elections bill still leaves corporate donation loopholes too easy to exploit 🏢 Opaque company structures can still hide who is really funding politics 🗳️ If ministers are serious, they should ban corporate donations or toughen the rules properly 🚫 Democracy cannot be for sale

If you want to run the country, start by vetting your candidates properly. Less than a day after announcing a candidate, Reform UK had to suspend him over financial misconduct 🤦‍♂️ Serious politics needs serious standards.

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne gave Reform UK £12m last year. Nearly two thirds of the party’s £18.8m in donations. Farage’s outfit is not a grassroots movement. It is a political project bankrolled by one billionaire.

Day in the life of a professional grifter

Nigel Farage has invested £215,000 in a bitcoin company. 65% of Reform UK’s funding comes from crypto billionaire. Reform is not a grassroots movement. It is a political project tied up with crypto money, extreme wealth, and billionaire influence.

This isn't just about Peter Mandelson. It’s about a system that protects elite insiders even when the risks are clear. Clive Lewis: “This isn’t just about one bad set of decisions, it’s about a political culture it represents, and it’s destroying politics in this country.”

Peter Mandelson received £77,000 in taxpayer-funded compensation after being sacked as Ambassador to the United States, amid links to Jeffrey Epstein and a subsequent police investigation.

One donor accounts for 65% of Reform UK's 2025 donation income. The party's average reported donation is £112k. Not exactly a people's revolution.

People want greater choice in politics. First Past The Post isn't up to scratch. We need Proportional Representation.

James Naish MP calls for a National Commission on Electoral Reform. "Surely we can do better than fighting elections on the basis of the best-worst option".

Matt Goodwin's plan: make voting harder Our plan: make voting fairer 🗳️ Proportional voting system 💰 Ending dark money 👂 Tackling disinformation

🗳️ Sarah Olney: "There is a very wide acceptance that it is time to scrap First Past The Post. It does not deliver the results that people vote for and this is an enormous missed opportunity."

💰 Emily Thornberry raises an important point about the dangers of anonymous crypto donations in our politics, and the need to go further on ending dark money.

When Reform wins, it’s “the people have spoken.” When they lose, it’s suddenly fraud, intimidation, “sectarianism”, whatever sticks. That’s the Trump playbook. Poison the well so no defeat is ever legitimate.

What a joker 🤡

Well that aged well

🗳️ Multi-party politics is here to stay – Westminster needs to catch up 🎰 FPTP is creaking: tactical voting is now normal 📉 If voting feels like a lottery, legitimacy (and turnout) drops ⚠️ We’re not ready for hung parliaments/coalitions

😂💀

The Greens didn’t just surge, they won. Voters chose real change over lesser-of-two-evils politics. Britain is multi-party, but our voting system still isn’t. Under FPTP, outcomes can swing wildly. More choice is good. Our system should reflect it. It’s time for Proportional Representation.

The Representation of the People Bill’s Second Reading is on Mon 2 March. MPs may soon face an amendment to establish a National Commission on Electoral Reform. 11,000+ people have backed our calls. Now please email your MP (takes 2 mins) and ask if they’ll support it. WRITE NOW →

The Greens are polling on 30% to Labour's 28% among likely voters in Gorton & Denton. Labour's General Secretary on an all-staff call has reportedly ruled out a Green Party win in tomorrow's by-election.

Immigration as a political scapegoat has ballooned since the millennium. Before 2000, immigration was just 1% of Commons contributions. Rhetoric has outpaced reality, shaping policies, priorities, and tone of British politics.

Nigel Farage's 5,000 mile private jet flight to the Maldives backfires 🤦‍♀️ "If he turned up with a selfie stick to RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, a similarly sensitive military base, he would be turned away." 🤳

Suella Braverman was elected as a Conservative. Now she’s defected to Reform UK. Locals are calling for a by-election and accountability. If you change party, you change the contract with voters. If she think this move has a mandate, she should put it to the test.

But he found time to take a 5,000-mile private jet flight to the Maldives for a day 🤨

This is what a broken electoral system looks like. Whatever the result, more than TWO THIRDS of people won't have voted for it.

23 hours in the air to stand on a beach and whine for clicks, while his constituents are ignored and his party’s campaign back gets the Tommy Robinson treatment. Britain deserves serious politics, not imported culture-war theatre from Nigel Farage.

"Putin’s plan is that liberal democracy will undermine itself." Love it or loathe the BBC, an independent news broadcaster ought to be the antidote to foreign interference and a powerful soft power tool for promoting democratic values across the world.

First Past The Post fuels disillusionment and prevents meaningful change on the issues that matter most. We're pushing for an independent, expert-led commission shaped by citizens to set out the route to fairer voting, including Proportional Representation. Find out more 👉 open-britain.co.uk/ncer

The Government's democratic reforms have some great changes, but misses an open goal: fixing how Britain votes 🥅 A National Commission would give Parliament a credible route to fairer voting, including Proportional Representation ⚖️ Agree? Add your name to the petition www.open-britain.co.uk/ncer

🤔 Votes at 16 sounds like a great idea. But what's the point if First Past the Post means millions of those votes will effectively go in the shredder? Let's give the next generation a political system that works for everyone (not just the wealthy and well-connected). www.open-britain.co.uk/ncer

🚨 BREAKING: The government has just introduced the biggest electoral reforms package in a generation But it does nothing about the voting system itself We’ve drafted an amendment to establish an independent National Commission on Electoral Reform, the first step toward PR Help make it a reality 👇

Massive mandate? 🤔 66% of the population said different. If we want our government to be truly accountable, it needs to be representative. We need Proportional Representation.

I'm no political strategist but has anyone in Labour considered *not* alienating any huge chunk of their base? I just feel like they tried alienating the left and the centre left and the public sector workers and the academics, and none of those things worked great, so maybe give my idea a whirl?

📉 “Imagine it as like freezing the population where it is, and then just having a continually ageing population, over 20 years the economic gap becomes continually larger and larger." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/feb/04/zero-net-migration-shrink-uk-economy-thinktank-niesr

“If Reform UK forms the next government, it will be for one reason and one reason alone: our electoral system.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/04/labour-reform-greens-splitting-vote-unfair-electoral-system

So the Musk cosplay found… almost nothing. Wonder how much this stunt cost? 🤔

"The defections of Nadhim Zahawi, Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman mean there are now more former members of Liz Truss’s cabinet in Farage’s ranks than in Kemi Badenoch’s top team." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/02/labour-reform-tories-keir-starmer-threat-democracy
