🌹 Former Labour Leader Lord Neil Kinnock calls for Proportional Representation!
In an interview with @emmaburnell.bsky.social for @thefabians.bsky.social & @labourlist.bsky.social on Monday, he said electoral reform was "crucial" to renew British democracy for the 21st century.

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.

The pressure on Palantir’s #NHS contract is building from every direction, and ministers are starting to listen. We need as many people as possible to act right now.
Check if your NHS trust is using the software and say NO PALANTIR IN OUR NHS!

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...
Ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract. I've signed the open letter to Wes Streeting calling on him to get Palantir out of the NHS. www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/we...
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.

Have you seen this? Reform UK has just pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters. I'm really worried about it. I've signed a petition to stop the steal. Can you add your name too? www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/st...

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...

Nick Timothy's comments stoke division when we need togetherness. Trafalgar Square hosts events celebrating a wide range of faiths and cultures (and many events that relate to none) including a Passion play over the Easter Weekend. To single out the Open Iftar is telling.
A massive campaign win for our members and the credit union movement.
Millions more people will have access to fairer borrowing and saving because of today's reforms.
Growing credit unions, growing our movement, growing our economy.
100,000 people signing this petition is a powerful warning to Westminster: the public will not accept dying people being ignored while a handful of unelected peers talk this Bill out www.dignityindying.org.uk/news/public-...
What Panorama, Assisted Dying: What Next? reminds us is that at the centre of this debate are dying people who want and deserve choice www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002sv40 via @BBCiplayerUK
Baroness Jay sets the record straight.
Assisted dying and palliative care are both essential to compassion and autonomy at the end of life.

I’m sure Mr Farage can’t wait to attend and repeat this comment.

Credit unions help people access fair, ethical finance. But an outdated law is holding them back.

"Farage has not ruled out other reforms, such as moving funding of the NHS from general taxation to an insurance system."
