The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

I just wrote to my MP to call for immediate legal recognition of #humanistmarriages in England and Wales. The UK Government promised action but keeps delaying – it’s time to stop the excuses. humanists.uk/take-action-...

Write to your MP: Legally recognise humanist marriages, now!

Farage has by far the highest earnings on the side of any MP.

Lucrative second jobs for MPs subvert democracy and are a gateway to corruption.

They must be made illegal. I've campaigned for that long before Farage became an MP.

We need a Criminal Procurement of Political Influence Act.

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Reform: Stop hiding from press scrutiny!

Nigel Farage says he welcomes freedom of speech, even if people find it offensive. Surely that should apply to freedom of the press too? So why have Reform's Nottinghamshire councillors - who control ...

Nice to see Capitol Hill in the USA taking Farage to the cleaners. It's a pity the various institutions of the UK are so feeble in holding him to account.

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with"

JR then demolishes Farage, ending with

"You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/

That's humanism

Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.
