A night-time photo under Westminster Bridge showing a bright pink projection containing an image of a woman with a red cross over her mouth.  The caption reads 'Only 4 in 10 got what they voted for'.  Big Ben and Westminster is in the background.

The way the UK public is represented is truly a horror show.

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.

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 πŸŽ‰

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."

"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.

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

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 β€” 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.

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

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.

"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.
