"We are sometimes taught at school that the British system is 'the envy of the world'. It isn’t."

We’ve been calling for the failing regulator Ofwat to be abolished for years.

‘I’ve £90k in student debt – for what?’ Graduates share their job-hunting woes amid the AI fallout AI isn’t just taking away entry-levels jobs, it’s helping thousands apply for the same job with almost the same CV

“Being able to write and think coherently were basic requirements in most graduate jobs 10, 15 years ago. Now, they are emerging as basically elite skills. Almost nobody can do it. We see all the time that people with top degrees cannot summarise the contents of a document, cannot problem solve."

Whether it's Labour, the Tories or Reform: full control of our laws, our public services and foreign policy should never be in the hands of someone most people don't support.

We need #PRnow.

The latest YouGov MRP poll is WILD.

140 MPs elected on less than 30% of the vote, including 1 on just 23.5%. An average winning share of just 35%.

Only 17 MPs would represent a majority of their voters.

Without electoral reform, Parliament risks a serious crisis of legitimacy.

Laurie Taylor of @mvm-totnes.bsky.social says:

“With millions of voters turning away from two-party politics, there is every chance that in 2029 we could wake up to a government elected on less than 30% of the public vote. We cannot afford to let this continue."

Changing mayoral & PCC elections to AV is a no brainer. STV for English local elections is the next obvious step alongside setting up a national commission for electoral reform.
