Yep....
"In some areas, First Past the Post could mean MPs getting elected on as little as 25% or 30% of the vote.
That is not sustainable for British politics, and it is time for Proportional Representation." 💯💯💯

We're excited for @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social conference next week.
We're running 8 standalone sessions + 2 joint sessions with the Political Economy Perspectives Group.
📅 Full programme: www.psa.ac.uk/conference/p....
✉️ We've just e-mailed members with details of our sessions, social and AGM.
I’m committed to checking the output of GBNews, that it complies with OFCOM guidelines. Financing this TV station might amount to covert donations to Reform UK – without restrictions otherwise imposed on political parties. app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/153028...
In England a driver can be speeding, using cannabis and a phone, overtake another vehicle, mount the pavement outside a school playground and kill a 4-year-old girl while uninsured — and receive just 3 years 10 months for causing death by careless driving.

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.
Yes Reform. It's absolutely fine that utility and grocery bills have skyrocketed in recent years but most of us haven't had a pay rise in that time. We can all make up that huge gap. We are just exaggerating. Or maybe you think we can't do maths so we will take your word for it?
while he complains about people on benefits, his company INEOS is literally a beneficiary of corporate benefits.
some mornings, I think capitalists deserve a revolution.
The untold story that is told constantly and isn’t really true
NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.
We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

All the racist repression is all a cover to create and protect their authoritarian mafia state.
"One child bleeding from an eye injury wasn’t seen by medical staff for two days. Another child’s foot was broken when a member of the staff dropped a volleyball net pole."
They were fed meals "that were moldy and had worms" and then refused to treat food poisoning.

Murder victim Alex Pretti about 45 seconds before his death.
DHS Sec Kristi Noem said Pretti attacked officers, & CPB Commander Bovino said Alex wanted to do “maximum damage & massacre law enforcement.” In posts on X, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller called Pretti "a would-be assassin.”
You saw what you saw. They're lying to you.
Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

If this same clip was in the UK, the whole US conservative political-media complex would freak out and saying it's proof that Britain is worse than North Korea, a society of woke censorship and fear that needs to be torn down. Podcasts would cover it for weeks. Vance would do a long sarcastic tweet.
Wales already substantially ahead of England on recycling, which is core to most people's idea of being eco.
Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."
Only thing missing is Polanski nefariously rubbing his hands together.
All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.
