Fruit in the UK supermarkets is ludicrously expensive, poor quality and often in short supply. Going to Madeira and Australia has highlighted how damaging Brexit has been and why our supermarkets are making exorbitant profits in our current market conditions.

Hugely important point ๐
Turnout at the last general election was among the lowest in our democratic history. Many people feel like their vote makes no difference.
Evidence shows that countries with PR have higher turnout. To restore trust in democracy, we must fix our voting system.

Anna Dixon MP calls for a National Commission for Electoral Reform

Westminster is debating PR on 30th January. Tell your MP to be there.
Over 21 million votes cast in 2024 were ignored or wasted. After the most disproportionate election ever, there is a crucial parliamentary debate on 30th Jan on changing the voting system.
Donโt let ...
๐ฅ More than 5,000 constituents have already contacted their MP, asking them to attend next week's PR debate.
If you haven't yet, use our tool to email your MP today and ask them to take part.
Let's make sure the case for PR gets heard loud and clear in Westminster.

Petition: Referendum on changing the Electoral System To Proportional Representation (PR)
We are petitioning for a National Referendum to decide whether the current electoral system should be RETAINED or REPLACED by a system where the number of MPs each party gets reflects the proportion o...
๐ฅThis is big: a pro-PR petition now stands at nearly 37,000 signatures. Many more are being added every day.
People across the country can see clearly that our voting system makes no sense.

House of Lords โReformโ is a distraction, obviously the โReformโ will result in more cronies in the House of Lords. The only true reform of Parliament we need is the introduction of Proportional Representation. If not Reform will be in Government next time!

Hospices desperately need support with their revenue funding so that they can hire and retain staff, and meet the additional burden of NICs. I am deeply concerned that today's announcement will not be the shot in the arm many who care about hospices were hoping it would be.
