I think it’s only us and Belarus in Europe using FPTP. Democratic reform underpins everything yet is never seen as important. Votes at 16, FPTP, what to do with second chamber - all very important. And a written constitution while we’re at it.

And when tempted into narrow minded, bigoted assholery take a second to ask ‘What would Jesus say?’

Absolutely right @andrewcooper.net

@andrewcooper.net I think you’ve already signed 🌹

I’m pleased we’ve a govt I’m not embarrassed about. Not forgotten last lot 😳. May not be everything on m’wish list but in the 💩 circumstances they find themselves (not least with right wing media to right of them & OJ & his lefties heckling from the left) I think they’re doing a decent job.

After Owen Jones told us to support Brexit and get behind the will of the people (I was in the room) I don’t listen to him. He’s loathed Labour ever since Corbyn got the boot.

Cross-party MPs brand voting system ‘dangerous’ in an era of electoral volatility - Politics.co.uk A cross-party group has described the local elections as a “dress rehearsal” for future “chaotic and unrepresentative” results.

“We’re now the biggest APPG in Parliament and the public supports our call for a National Commission for Electoral Reform by a margin of five to one. The government should listen and act.”

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs, report finds Exclusive: Britons found to have ‘lost out’ while rest of Europe benefits from golden age of research and treatments

Thank you to every politician, indeed every voter who voted for Brexit and still thinks it’s a good idea.

Krassenstein on Substack AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director. What a legend.

For anyone out there fearful that nations like the UK can’t stand up to America’s bullying…

Just listen to this chap

I think his approval rating is pretty static all things considered. Progressives have to find another way to challenge, accepting a frightening percentage, while not a majority, are in full support of authoritarian barbarism. This is an issue beyond the United States.

Read the second paragraph and what springs to mind?

Can’t quite believe that 44%

I understand the govt’s position - no mileage in another culture war. But I always attend these marches to show in numbers that Brexit isn’t forgotten and has done untold damage to our country. Brexiters claimed patriotism. Maybe. But not patriotism for 🇬🇧. Perhaps it was Tяump’s 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 or 🇷🇺 they meant.

Thanks to my lovely friend @pamelaleng.bsky.social for sharing this with me. So true and so beautiful 💚

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? The evidence is increasing

Trump’s ‘conversation’ and ‘musings’ would be a matter for mirth and pathos were he not the most powerful person on Earth.

Faith Schools allowed to select 100% on faith but have to be paid for by us all. A letter to my MP, hopefully which will be shared with the Ministers responsible

Why on Earth would a Labour government permit faith schools to admit 100% on parent's religion. Beggars belief.

Elon said to Tesla employees: Tesla robot could be in homes doing household chores and even teaching people's children.

The last thing anyone should want is a Nazi Robot in their house feeding propaganda to their kids!

This fucking guy is totally out of touch with reality.

I'm still stunned by how Americans elected this rapist not just once but twice. I'll never forgive them for unleashing this madman on the World 🌎.

America has always been deeply flawed (as all nation states are). It’s now unrecognisable.

Donald Trump and the Angel of History Decoding the historical narrative that made him President

A glimmer of hope. A call for all liberally minded people to make and make and make the argument.

What’s it called, Newsnight?

"We don't want to be Americans - we want to be Greenlanders!"

Just what I said. Women too are treated more harshly. That’s the two tier justice these sentencing guidelines were signed at addressing.

Problem. Solution.
