At the 2022 Labour Conference, Labour members overwhelmingly passed a motion in support of Proportional Representation. Starmer: “It’s not a Priority.” In multi-party elections, where a single party can gain a majority on under 30% of vote cast, it’s a priority to #getPRdone

Labour must use their majority to bring in PR for parliamentary elections. This is their last chance to counter far right politics. Without it, centre and left division will be punished by FPTP and the right will take over just as it has in the US.

Georgia’s Medicaid work requirements program spent two times as much on administrative costs as on health care costs — while preventing thousands of eligible Georgians from accessing health care. Say it with me: Medicaid work requirements don’t work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMqYttKv1c

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw... Here are some issues 1 how is the govt going to police this, what new "force" will be needed? 2 an all digital solution is limited, really a physical card is needed. There are lots of reasons for this.

youtu.be/DaM3c5ybj-w?... Don't think that climate change only means it's going to get hotter and wetter. This video explains how it will create Banking failures and how that will affect EVERY part of life as we have come to expect it. Affecting jobs, food and society based on money flows.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Indeed, why are our media so entwined and enamored of Farage? Is it just the readers eyeballs they crave or are they actually seeking political change for personal gain? In which case they don't deserve our attention.

youtube.com/shorts/VX4AV... I'm inclined to believe this analysis. The logical result is that we desperately need to dump FPTP for PR. It is FPTP that so punishes division and falls to represent voters intentions and diversity. Will labour have the guts to legislate for it?

A thoughtful look at our electoral system, and the way forward with proportional representation. However That would need proportional media coverage, which we definitely don't have at present

After reading the news reports it seems to me the US is in the deep "doodoo" over the killing of Kirk. People being censored, losing jobs, attacked on SM just bc they voiced an opinion. Kirk claimed to be all about free speech but apparently in the US free speech is now rather selective!

I'll say it again, there is no place for Musk's interference in the UK and in UK politics.

38d.gs/eqdq and not to be forgetting the energy companies who are making large profits

The man's a disgrace

Gutter press. Is printing that even legal or is it inciting racial hatred?

Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

Tell me, why do politicians think that know better than doctors? First RFK Jr and now Reform! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... This article lays it on the line. Farage's Reform is the UKs worst nightmare. Its policies won't solve any problems, so what do they gain apart from power over a diminished shrinking country and economy?

I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released. youtu.be/4MqPsjiage8

Farage is wrong

Action on starting to form a progressive alliance to stop Farage becoming PM needs to be happening NOW. @werahobhouse.bsky.social

This is a music station by the way. A couple mins of news every half hour or so. A station you listen to to hide away from news. But even here, you get these vicious little snippets of hatred towards refugees, leaking out from the broader BBC output.

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

Watch this, the govt has been lying to us. Fergal has it. youtube.com/shorts/SH9_2...

🚜 Trump’s IHT response to @GBNEWS this week weren’t solidarity, they were rubbing salt in our wounds. 🚜 He knows British farmland is being sold off cheap thanks to Brexit freedoms reversing IHT protections. 🚜 He knows UK farmers are being squeezed by substandard imports and debt. 🧵 1/3

Privatisation broke our water system. @labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it. Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water?source=bluesky&​

Isn't it time the world threw the IDF out of Gaza and took over humanitarian aid? There is a clear genocide being enacted by Israel. A phrase that would be hard to comprehend having to use in respect of Jewish people. The Israeli govt is no longer able to run the country given them after WWII.

Rachel Reeves is too close to the city to be able to effectively regulate it. Starmer needs to rid himself of this apparently right wing chancellor. youtube.com/shorts/OQWdC...

When I travel on trains in France I see fares so much lower than in the UK. This encourages public transport use over cars aiding the environment. We don't need shareholder profits in a national transport system. weownit.org.uk/news/stop-pr...

Thames water want to build a huge reservoir with up to 25m high banks on what is a flood plain and right next to it are 3 large villages. In emergencies driven by climate change they will discharge water into the Thames that may already be flooding surrounding areas. What could possibly go wrong?

It was Reeves who wanted to cancel winter fuel allowance, and reduce spending on PIP, and on welfare, and now removing safeguards on banks, imposed after 2008. Starmer, she's the problem, she has to go. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

PR should be introduced for all elections! First past the post is corroding trust in politics. The government must make all elections fit for the future’ labourlist.org/2025/07/firs...

youtu.be/SpJhyyhuJrY?... This is JP just not holding back, it's glorious. I'd have him for PM tbh.

We will use their horrific agenda to turn voters against them by the millions in the midterms. And yes, there will be midterms. Don’t even think about voicing defeatism and doing their work for them.

Thames Water court case shows there are alternatives to massive infrastructure www.theguardian.com/business/202... Higher TW bills are already here! Water usage charges up 29-34% yr on yr while standing charges (infrastructure?) are up a whopping 72%!! yr on yr. Already charging us.

These "vultures" must be kicked out by the govt who must not give in to these atrocious demands. They deserve no compensation and in fact the have grown rich on the years of egregious dividends. This really makes me see red. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Even LBC's Nick Ferrari was punting the millionaire exodus yesterday and failing to stop and ask just how many had left and whether this was in any way a substantial number. Because it is not! It was just 0.3% of UK millionaires

Sting - Tells French reporter (Brexit) “It was an act of folly and we are only beginning to understand how stupid it was” “I am a European. We are the largest economic community in the world, we need to stay together. We are threatened by Russia, maybe by America – we need to stay united.” 👏👏

🚨URGENT: Sign and share our petition. ❗KKR, the predatory US private equity firm lined up to rescue Thames Water, has pulled out. Thames Water is back in crisis. It's time for Steve Reed to cut the 💩and bring it into public hands. vist.ly/3n529qc

Sick of Thames water! Just analysed my new Water charges from April 2025. Fresh water up 29.24% Waste water up 34.18% but the kicker is the Standing charge UP a staggering 72.08% We should not be paying this, what is the govt doing? Ofwat is toothless even with their £122.7m of fines.

Thames Water's future in doubt after investor KKR pulls out. TW is financially, environmentally and morally bankrupt, can't be run for profit. Govt must not bail it out, let it collapse, buy for low price, end Thatcher's curse, start a new era.

The Govt’s “largest review of the water sector since privatisation” ruled out public ownership - a solution 82% of us support - before even starting. This review is a sham - but we still have a chance to be heard. Sign @labourlewis.bsky.social’s open letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...
