First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

Why won't the government pause and look into the Palantir contracts?
Labour are selling out the UK, more of the same, just like the Tories.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

The engery companies made Β£30 BILLION in pre-tax profits.

This shows why we need a #WindfallTax on excessive profits & a #WealthTax on the millionaires & billionaires. They're getting richer & richer & it is US who are paying for it.

#Labour doesn't care. #Starmer is on their side & not ours.

Up to 50,000 nurses could quit UK over immigration plans, survey suggests Exclusive: union leaders say proposed changes are immoral and could threaten patient safety if there is staff exodus

Wes Streeting has said he completely backs the Home Secretary's Reform approved immigration policy which will devastate an already over burdened NHS. Starmer's right wing zealots are wrecking what's left of one of the best public health services in the world.

I joined HMPS in 1995 and retired in 2019. Underpinning every failing in HMPS is AUSTERITY. From Purging experienced staff, overloading operational managers with admin, privatizing works depts and trying to nail jelly to walls. Torys f'd the organisation irreparably. Kudos to those who had to stay.

Jailed UK climate protesters facing conditions reserved for extremists on release Exclusive: Just Stop Oil activist was banned from attending gatherings, including meeting a friend in a cafe, without permission

The UK Government is feeding an authoritarian cuckoo.

Calling non-violent protesters terrorists, locking them up, then banning them from meeting friends or internet communication after release.

These tools of repression will be used by the fascism they’ve fed.
