ADD YOUR NAME: We need a fairer local voting system for all elections in England In England the electoral system means we often get councils that do not represent what people voted for. Wales has made progress, but England is being left behind.

Local councils should match how we vote. They do in Scotland, N. Ireland and in Wales councils can choose a fairer system.

England is being left behind. Join @electoralreform.bsky.social's call for everyone to have a vote that can make a difference.

Give housing co-ops a home in the law

Who owns your home matters.

Housing co-ops put ownership and control in the hands of residents – not landlords.

The law should support that. Add your name if you agree. party.coop/campaign/com...

Farage's Reform has pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters - handing power to bad bosses and rogue landlords.

Layla Moran MP - Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee - says the assisted dying Bill hasn’t distracted from palliative care - it’s pushed it up the agenda.

She argues it has sparked national conversations that are finally driving action - and that this moment must be seized upon.

Reform says it stands up for workers. Their record says differently. When parliament voted on stronger employment rights, Reform MPs voted against measures like banning zero-hours contracts and improving sick pay.

'They laughed as assisted dying bill failed but I remember husband's dead body' Widow Louise Shackleton watched in dismay as the Scottish Parliament voted against their assisted dying bill this week, after travelling to Dignitas with her husband Antony in December 2024

Awful. The failure of the Scottish bill is devastating. People like Louise and Antony have gone through so much pain. For now, there will be nothing terminally ill people in Scotland who want an assisted death can do, other than face the inhumanity of the law. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
