Under a Reform UK government, only
British citizens will be able to vote.




FARAGE: Letting non-British citizens vote in
UK threatens democracy

Farage and Reform are bad losers.

Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place.

68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem.

Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.

Despite being continually accused of not integrating, Muslims have voted in numbers, and against a party with a Muslim Home Sec whose immigration policies and actions regarding Gaza they strongly opposed.Instead they found common value with a white British woman who spoke to them locally and beyond.

Matt Goodwin doesn’t live in the area.
Don’t use your services. And after the election? He’ll disappear.

He lives in Hertfordshire.
Parachute candidate. No stake. No accountability.

Photo of Yusuf at a lectern saying “shadow Home Secretary” (Wot?)

Reform's plan for a 'British ICE' combines cruelty with stupidity Project forward to 2036 under a majority Reform government and the picture darkens further. Britain would be smaller, older and whiter; more isolated from Europe; paradoxically, more vulnerable to foreign interterence and less able to fund its own defence.
The welfare state would shrink to a skeleton. Charity would fill the gaps.
Flags would proliferate; rights would not. The police and courts would be politicised. The BBC could disappear.
The NHS would survive only as a minimal safety net. Protections against discrimination would erode - you might indeed be sacked for being disabled.
Migrants and even their British-born children could find their rights curtailed unless they were deemed to
"contribute" sufficiently. Meanwhile, the wealthiest would enjoy a generous, low-tax regime.

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.”

Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination.

The EU is poised to adopt new measures to speed up and simplify the accession process for candidate member states to become part of the EU. This would also make the accession process to the EU much faster and easier for an independent Scotland.

A recent YouGov poll found that 63% of the UK population would vote to rejoin the EU, and further polling by Savanta on behalf of ITV found that it rises to 83% with 16-25 year olds. It's time to regain our rightful place at the heart of Europe.

Electoral reform is the key to Social Democratic renewal With four parties tied in the polls, our first past the post electoral system is failing. How should progressives respond?

Every time Labour created a modern parliament – Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, London – they chose proportional representation writes MP, Jenny Riddell Carpenter. Why is Westminster the exception? If PR is good enough for devolved Britain, it’s good enough for the UK.
