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.

I wrote to my MP.
"We try to live lives full of purpose, of service and usefulness to others. What purpose are our lives if we don't help Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed stay alive? We will all have failed so badly. Please, please help stop this."

Why do Labour, Tories and Lib Dems have so little respect for people who complain that their council tax and pension contributions are funding genocide?

A small step — but a meaningful one. Here’s a short thread. 🧵👇

Questions as £12m black hole for town centre scheme could be ‘the final straw’ THERE are serious questions to answer about who knew what and when about a £12m black hole in Wirral Council’s finances.

Birkenhead Green Party councillor Pat Cleary said the council’s leader up until May, Cllr Paul Stuart “totally had questions to answer,” adding: “Why has it taken a new leader to come in and shine a light on all of this?

Birkenhead Town Centre works are a year late and £12m over spent

Cllr Pat Cleary said, “What we are seeing is just unacceptable.

I’d like some admission of that. It’s just unacceptable.

I’m devastated, to be honest, as a councillor for the ward that this affects.

Tonight at Pensions committe I had it confirmed that the Merseyside Pension Fund has divested from Lockheed Martin. This is due to its involvement in the production of cluster munitions.

A small win but it shows divestment is possible @greenparty.org.uk

This raises serious questions about what the extra costs might be to complete the works and the wider costs for the Birkenhead economy and business community.

I was shocked to learn that town centre works in Birkenhead are not expected to complete until this time next year. That points to a complete breakdown in the management of the scheme.

The public will be rightly outraged.

The response received was not ok. Judge for yourself:

UK government pledges further £590m for delayed Lower Thames Crossing Rachel Reeves calls Britain’s biggest road-building project a ‘turning point for our national infrastructure’

We do not need new roads; we need better transport options. Think of what could be done with £9.2bn, which is to be spent on just 14 miles of road! It could transform bus services and/or cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Britain. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Tax Wealth - don't cut welfare

Labour’s cuts to welfare will make it much harder to qualify for Personal
Independence Payments. PIPs are essential support to live independent lives and are
paid to people who have a long-term physical or mental health condition.
