Politico does a good headline on WHILE YOU WERE (OR WEREN'T) SLEEPING. Starmer should wake up and see the reality that most Brits want urgent change on the economy which itself requires action on joining the EU again. @herefordshire4eu.bsky.social

In English local elections, the voting system means councils often don’t reflect the way people actually voted. Millions of votes don’t help to shape the final result. You deserve a voting system where all your neighbours shape what happens next. action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/2401/pe...

In #Ecuador, the crackdown starts with a frozen bank account. No wages, no groceries, no doctor’s visit – and no fair chance to defend yourself. This is what happens when people resist mining and oil expansion. ✍️ ##RainforestRescue #ActForRainforest rainforest-rescue.org/petitions/13...

"A change in our electoral system wouldn’t solve all these issues overnight. But it would force every government to engage with what people actually think, rather than what it is convenient to pretend they think. And that .. is the minimum a democracy owes its voters." @herefordshire4eu.bsky.social

Neil Kinnock's voice is well respected, particularly in Wales, where the Senedd elections use PR. The Labour Party should hear him. @herefordshire4eu.bsky.social @hshlabourparty.bsky.social

Good letter by Peter Packham. @herefordshire4eu.bsky.social

It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis. It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.

👏 Great to see Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus Vice-Chair @pippaheylings.bsky.social introduce a Bill to protect chalk streams today in Parliament. We urge the Government to support her plan before we irreversibly harm these globally rare habitats. 👇 Hear more about Pippa's Bill below.

Labour governs with one of the largest majorities in modern times. Three years left, the political capital exists, the electoral mandate exists. Gorton and Denton has shown that the public appetite for seriousness, and for fairness, exists. Do something big, Labour, while you still have the chance.

BREAKING⚡️The High Court has just ruled that the government's draconian ban of Palestine Action was unlawful. This is a massive blow to the Home Office’s authoritarian approach. They need to stop criminalising people protesting a genocide and start ending the UK's complicity

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

The government should not cut people off from the information they will need to vote sensibly when they are 16/17. What are the options apart from social media if schools don't do it? @herefordshire4eu.bsky.social

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken. I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @compassoffice.bsky.social @hshlabourparty.bsky.social

As Robert Jenrick jumps ship, Reform’s “new politics” looks more like a spin cycle for the same people behind 14 years of decline.
