What do #TraitorsUK and UK politics have in common? 👀

More than you might think...

Democracy shouldn't be a game. Share if you agree 👇 #Traitors #TheTraitorsUK

💥 Excellent article in @economist.com about the absurdity of election results under FPTP - and its consequences:

"When the country has lots of medium-size parties, the correlation between the number of votes in, and number of seats out, owes more to Las Vegas than to Edmund Burke." 💯💯

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

💰 PPE Medpro must repay £122m for supplying defective PPE

⚖️ But it doesn’t stop with Baroness Mone. When will the ministers who referred their cronies onto the VIP Lane face consequences?

I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

🥰 Final reminder that tomorrow (Sunday) is the biggest action day ever in the history of the Green Party.

Everyone who supports electoral reform should wish @labour4pr.bsky.social well in their efforts to change Labour policy. The government has the power to set up a National Commission to determine the best form of PR for the UK and to implement it before the next election. We need them to succeed!

Farage promise to "stop the boats within two weeks of winning gov't" unravelling.

Apparently, it means "after passing laws", "as quickly as possible", he "believes", the boats will still cross, but all will be deported "if necessary" and "sensible", "unless we have a duty of care".

Bravo, Beth! 👏🏽

This is the ugly truth about the state of the UK national press.

Through the 16,000 barrier. We’re probably not going to get to 100,000 by Saturday but let’s get as high as we can. All good ammunition and proves widespread feeling across uk. Look at the heat map. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Giving 16- and 17-year-olds the vote is a long-overdue win for democracy — On this one I am happy to say well done, Labour.

But let’s not stop here. It’s time to:
* Abolish the unelected House of Lords
* Introduce PR so every vote counts

Young people deserve real representation.

Keir Starmer to young people:

New research shows that support for a fairer voting system has hit a new high.

This rise in support is no surprise. For too long, First Past the Post has distorted democracy, and the 2024 general election gave us the least representative parliament in British history.

The public did not reject PR. The public rejected AV which is not a form of PR

Just a note team.

Steer clear of the ones with a plaque reading:

"People across the country are fed up with First Past the Post," says Sarah Olney MP.

Today's debate showed that support for electoral reform is growing fast, also in Westminster.

Now's the time to join us and campaign for a fairer system where everyone's voice is heard.

💥 Big news: MPs have just voted in favour of PR!

Thank you to Sarah Olney for her brilliant speech, and to the 138 MPs who backed the bill.

This is just the first step - but it's great to see so much cross-party support for a political system where all voices are heard 💪💯
