@ajbell haven't been able to access my accounts via the app since Thursday last week. This follows months of interrupted service due to your issues. Are you offering assurances it is going to be fixed and improve, along with compensation for the service failure?

Today's Twitter Poll: Do you think the first past the post (FPTP) system has worked well, or should we move closer to a form of proportional representation (PR)? Rough glossary: First Past The Post: Current system where each constituency elects person who got most votes, all other votes are then mostly irrelevant. Proportional Representation: All votes count as (through various different mechanisms) number of seats is made to more closely matches the percentage of the national vote.
14%I'm labourish: FPTP works
47%I'm labourish: PR better
8%Not labourish: FPTP works
31%Not labourish: PR better

A massive majority on 36% of the vote is just ridiculous. We desperately need proportional representation.

The last line says it all. These people will be back. Unless Labour do the responsible thing and introduce electoral reform. Which they won’t.

Why has it taken voters so long to turn? Cameron applied outdated Thatcherism in response to a global financial crash..and accidentally lost a referendum..May was submerged by Brexit civil war..Johnson was least suited for complexities and scrutiny of leadership of any Tory PM in history ..Truss… and now Sunak again seeking a return to 1980s Thatcherism..hailing his plan without explaining what it is. Unsurprisingly UK is poor and dysfunctional…it took a long time for voters to make the connections…but they have now and there’s no way back for Sunak and his party. In opposition the Tories need a debate they avoided between 97-2010 about where they went wrong and why… but looks like the right wing English exceptionalists will dominate the post mortem.. in which case there’ll be more post mortems after this one.

Britain’s planning system is a monumental act of national self-sabotage, exhibit #4729. A big new data centre (which the country really needs) right next to a huge motorway is refused permission because “the buildings would be visible from the bridges across the motorway”

This is absolutely deranged. UK government refuses planning permission for a data centre despite recognising an "urgent need" for it partly because it thinks *being right next to the M25* has negligible impact on green belt amenity value

Well done! My congratulations. 👏👏👏 Appears there is now at least one of the eNOGs prepared finally to take a stand, long overdue but very, very welcome. Question becomes who's next and as a sector do they have the leadership to see this through and win it?

We’ve scaled the scaffolding at Labour’s London HQ to remind Keir Starmer what he once said about proportional representation.

What if we start well, get a couple of goals before half time, bring the noise, their young inexperienced team crumbles, etc. It's over. But is it?

Proportional representation is the most popular form of democracy for countries in the world today. It's the simple idea that the strength of each faction in parliament should closely match their popularity in the country. For many people, that's what living in a democracy means.

Britain could well be heading for seismic electoral reform that'll keep the Left in power for ever. And Starmer may sign up to it without voters even getting a say mailplus.co.uk/edition/comme… via @mailplus

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.
