🚨 Next week, MPs return from recess and will be debating the Devolution Bill.
The Bill would scrap First Past the Post for Mayoral elections: a step towards fixing our local democracy.
Email your MP today and ask them to speak out against FPTP👇

Few articles I see discuss the cumulative risk of continuing to expose our brain to the same risk repeatedly and still they think it will bounce back. If you had a car crash would you keep driving into a wall. www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/research-sto...
This is unfathomable. Far-right populist parties are top of the polls in Germany, the United Kingdom and France simultaneously for the first time. It’s not too late to change this

A reminder that 1 in 10 and probably far higher than this, have long covid in the UK. How can this not get a mention on its economic impact on gdp. Far cheaper to prevent than torching our economy. 🧵
Would you rather:
Vote for the party you support, or vote for the lesser evil?
Have a Parliament dominated by two parties, or a Parliament that reflects people's diverse views?
Have a single-party government that represents 1/3 of voters, or a coalition that represents the majority?

2016: Boris Johnson making the case for Brexit, "Let us take back control of our borders"
2025: Dame Angela Eagle, "We have had no prospect of returning anybody to France since Brexit, as the Withdrawal Agreement didn't contain any kind of returns agreement"
❓If the government admits that First Past the Post is unsuitable for mayoral elections, why does it intend to keep it in place for general elections?
Thank you, Sarah Olney MP, for raising this issue in Parliament.
Whatever the election, FPTP is not fit for purpose. It must be replaced.
🚨 No More First Past the Post Elections.
5 parties polling strongly, chaotic results, millions left unrepresented.
We need Proportional Representation — NOW.

A scenic landscape showing a green field with trees and a forested hill in the background, and a clear stream flowing through the grass. Overlaid text reads: “ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW. Better implementation of EU environmental rules protects human health and supports economic growth.” The image includes the EU flag and European Commission logo.
Some €180 billion per year is the cost for the EU of not implementing environmental laws. That is 1% of our GDP.
The fourth Environmental Implementation Review shows that better implementation helps us save money and protect our environment.

There is no place for hate, in any form, in any society.
Left unchecked, hate speech fuels conflict and sows division. It can threaten peace and human rights.
This International Day for Countering Hate Speech, we reaffirm our commitment to stamping it out, in all its forms. ⬇️
Let's do it!
You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area.
It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away
