It is absolutely heart breaking watching years of relationship building, interface and quality monitoring NHS work just recklessly binned (along with many of the staff) by this government for no good reason.

During the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill, MP after MP got up to point out what's missing from it: fixing the voting system.

The problems with FPTP can no longer be ignored - and neither can the growing calls for PR. 📣

Here are just a few highlights:

Wimborne Against Hopkins is up to 340 signatures if you could take a moment to lend it some support I'm sure it would be worthwhile.

Thank you

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Text on image discussing the Dublin Agreement and its implications before and after Brexit. It explains how the agreement allowed the UK to return asylum seekers to other EU countries where they first claimed asylum and notes the changes in policy following Brexit, emphasizing the lack of automatic rights to return individuals. The text concludes with a warning about misconceptions regarding stopping boat crossings.

THIS, once more.

Picture of Hugh Grant, with a quote of his from X: "Dirty Business on Channel 4. Brilliantly made, devastating. Water must be nationalised now. The owners of the private water companies jailed."

Hang it in the The Louvre! *

Hugh Grant is right - the privatisation of water is a scam, and it's a Very English Scandal that no-one has been brought to justice for the destruction of our rivers and seas.

We need public ownership, and oversight, now.

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

Dirty water, death and decline: the inside story of a privatisation scandal There is no end in sight to the pollution caused by a ‘broken’ system. Experts say it could even be getting worse

What we need to do is lock up the corporate bosses and politictians who allowed this horrendous scam to happen. That inludes Blair, Stearmer, Brown, Truss, May, Johnson etc.

The prison will be full!

Obscene.

Campaigners condemn Starmer’s secrecy over US attack on Iran American warplanes are transiting through UK military bases en route to the Middle East. Why is Britain allowing it?

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

In Gorton and Denton, vote for Hannah Spencer & the Greens.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: by working together.

Dirty Business review – if this doesn’t incite righteous anger over our filthy water then nothing will Based on the true story of amateur sleuths appalled at the dumping of sewage in our rivers, this drama starring David Thewlis is a blast of controlled fury – and could become the next Mr Bates vs the ...

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... Everyone should see this and then demand the denationalisation of the water industry without compensation, the prosecution of present and past water co executives, and the upper echelons of the Environment Agency. Fuck the shareholders.

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).

She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.

She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.

Horrible.

Last year, Tesla, Ticketmaster and Palantir made billions of dollars in profits, but paid ZERO in federal income taxes.

Do you think Trump will address this outrage at his SOTU address? I doubt it.

What you have to understand is that Carbon Capture and Storage is driven not by environmental concerns but by fossil fuel industry demands. It provides both a new revenue stream (at our expense) and the mother of all greenwashing schemes. Whether it works or not (it doesn't) is entirely irrelevant.

Reform wants to put public unions ‘under review’, by-election candidate has said Comments late last year indicate challenges Farage faces in courting working-class voters

Unions enforce your employment rights.
Unions can help if you’re discriminated against or mistreated by your employer.
Reform doesn’t want you to have that help.
They don’t care how badly you’re treated at work.
They’re taking the piss out of you.
You should mind.

‘It was terrifying’: hundreds fall sick after swimming in bathing waters More than 1,200 people became ill last year, despite most waters being rated good or excellent. One mother said ‘no family should have to go through this’

1,200+ people became sick after swimming in designated bathing waters in England,

75% of those official swimming spots rated “good” or “excellent”.

Sewage dumping continues.
