I wrote a piece predicting this in The Guardian a couple of years ago

A good day to resurrect this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaEA...

The way the UK public is represented is truly a horror show. @makevotesmatter.bsky.social now!!

Off to meet the Charity Commission, hopefully I'll get a better view on how they see their role in protecting charity workers from violent threats... #CharityTuesday

Tory Conference debate on free speech. You see? Sometimes being "cancelled" is a mercy.

Are you a young person? Do you feel like your voice isn’t being heard in politics? Register for this cross-party event in collaboration with Make Votes Matter. actionnetwork.org/forms/beyond...

Did you know that for the past 25 years, there's a law that's been quietly defending your rights every day? That's the Human Rights Act at work Happy Birthday to the HRA 🎉

We really need the English Devolution Bill to change English local elections to STV, like they are in Scotland & Northern Ireland. We also need the Elections Bill to include provisions for a National Commission on Electoral Reform for Westminster elections. This is the pressing issue of our time.

"Keir Starmer said that the sky didn't fall in when we introduced votes at 16 in Wales and Scotland. And I say to you, Sir Keir, that when you introduced PR, the sky didn't fall in there either." Our CEO Emma Harrison speaking at @labour4pr.bsky.social rally at #LabourConference2025 💯🔥

"As Reform climb in the opinion polls, it is evident that they, like the Labour Party, could win on 34% of the vote," warns our CEO Emma Harrison at the @labour4pr.bsky.social rally. Or less - recent polls show them winning on as little as 25% of the vote. We have no time to waste. We need PR now.

Sorry Emma 🤦🏻‍♂️ Great speech though! 👏🏻

Nothing like doing your two minutes at. @labour4pr.bsky.social fringe and Andy Burnham walking in #PRNow

Already had my first discussion about fair votes. The biggest fear most people have is that PR would enable extremism. Hate to tell you, that ship has sailed. #PRNow #FairVotes #lab25

On the train the conference it's a heady mix of people going to conference and people off for a big night out. #lab25

While I love Liverpool, I miss the days of the Party Conference in Blackpool. Many a happy memory of walks along the beach before work at the Winter Gardens #Lab25

Heading off to @teamlabouruk.bsky.social conference. I've lost count of how many I've been to, but this one feels more important than most.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Have a listen to us discussing the misogyny & classism around the debate on Rayner’s tax affairs, plus we go DEEP on how to get British PR, with the superb @emmacampaigner.bsky.social who is leading the charge to Make Votes Matter 🎧👇

A message from our CEO Emma Harrison to mark yesterday's anniversary of the general election: "Things are changing. 60% of us want to move away from the winner-takes-all First Past the Post system." Together, we can win real democracy in which voice is heard. #PRnow

Scarlett Maguire highlighting how Labour only got a third of the vote and that next election will be very unpredictable due to First-past-the-post. #PRNow

We so much do! #PRnow

Great turnout for our #PRnow action this morning in #Totnes.

Democracy old and new. This was our #PRnow event at Totnes Guildhall this morning. A big thank you to everyone who came - including the Mayor and various Town and District councillors. It's high time to renew our democracy.

I just don't understand why companies who sell their wares on the internet demand you provide a phone number. I'm never answering.

[email protected] on @novaramedia.com Not long before the talk turns to our broken electoral system and how PR would be so much better... @makevotesmatter.bsky.social youtu.be/7ox_GSd0170?...

"How can you trust a system that asks you to participate once every 5 years, only to disregard most people’s votes?" Yesterday we also spoke at the National Liberal Club, alongside @ollyglover.bsky.social Democracy can't be taken for granted. To make it resilient, we must allow people to be heard.

👀 Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe says Nigel Farage is "running a cult" and he shouldn't be Prime Minister. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @vicderbyshire.bsky.social

"I can't be arsed" so why call into @lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social ?!

I'm not sure I have much sympathy for Mike Amesbury. #r4today

We need electoral reform. The lowest vote share to win on Thursday was in Truro Moresk & Trehaverne, Cornwall where the winner got less that 19% of the votes cast: 🔶 Liberal Democrat 18.9% ➡️ Reform 17.4% 🌳 Conservative 17.0% 🌍 Green 14.1% 🙋 Independent 13.3% 🌹 Labour 11.4% 🙋 Independent 7.9%

Plenty of scope for debate on UK immigration policy. It is complicated -but it doesn't have to be toxic. But we need to tackle the immigration lie machine. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

Whatever the final results today, one thing is certain: if we’re serious about restoring trust in politics, we have to start by replacing our archaic voting system with a fairer alternative

More news re. the need for PR... Thank you @munirawilson.bsky.social , our voting system clearly contributes "to the distrust and alienation we see in politics" & there are many supporters in all parties! www.fairelections.uk @elliechowns.bsky.social @alexsobel.co.uk @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

"These elections should serve as a wake-up call. Voters are rejecting binary choices. They’re demanding a system that reflects the real diversity of views across the country." Statement by our CEO Emma Harrison 👇

🚨 Thursday’s elections prove it: First Past the Post is broken. 5 parties, chaotic results, millions left unrepresented. We need Proportional Representation — NOW. ✍️ Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/20...

Staffs council now run by Reform www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

People who resort to calling Reform voters 'thick' aren't helping. Disillusionment and lack of trust in politicians leads to people voting for parties that acknowledge their pain and concerns.

The West of England has a Mayor that only 25% voted for. 3 in 4 voters chose a different candidate and didn't get the chance to pick their second option. Regardless of which party you support, one thing is clear: this is not a democratic mandate. The system is broken. makevotesmatter.org.uk

Chat GPT always with the 'improving professionalism and tone', if I needed to be judged, I'd call my mum.

Spam email linking someone who plays golf with the challenges of charity leaders. I'm sure that Rory chap did a great job but it's not the same as leading a charity. I need to avoid linkedin today, don't I?

🚨 We need your help! A debate on our trading relationship with the EU has been secured by Andrew Lewin MP. We need your MP to attend and drive our message home that closer ties with the EU should be the government’s priority. Email yours now 👇

Thank you #Hammersmith for being so welcome and open to Proportional Representation. ♥️ 👍🏼 Let’s #MakeVotesMatter

If anyone wants to know why the UK is in trouble, visit London Euston. After years of underinvestment it's a station near collapse. Still, there's a big cab rank 🙄

Trump’s protestations of bad treatment of the US economy are laughable. How about we start properly taxing the giant US companies taking over lives around the world and destroying local communities and businesses: Amazon, Deliveroo, Uber, Airbnb and the rest…? #r4today

Higher prices are inevitable, sadly wage inflation is not. Buckle up pals, it's going to be a bumpy ride. And keep an eye on your neighbours, people are going to go without. #R4today

Trump proving that failing upwards is still on trend. #r4today

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Trump fans must be delighted that everything is going to cost them more. #R4today
