Our electoral system, First Past the Post, robs millions of voters of a voice. It creates 'safe seats' where MPs can safely ignore huge sections of their constituency. And it distorts our democracy. We’re fighting for proportional representation - where every vote counts.

The Prime Minister blaming Junior doctors for hospital waiting lists is one of the most despicable things he’s said & for the record he’s offered them a crappy real terms pay cut If like me you stand with the junior doctors who sacrificed so much to keep us safe RT this widely

I think everyone should send love to @carolvorders She’s tirelessly highlighted Tory corruption and taken a stand for for those suffering under a hellish government. Her heart is in the right place and her moral compass is pointing in the right direction. She’s a good woman.

New info for you. I've been harassed by ⁦Johnny Mercer's⁩ wife for months. This is from just one day in April ⏬ + much more abuse elsewhere I didn't respond at all Until he mocked military using foodbanks. She's paid c£45k on MP expenses (+200% pay rise) to do this? RT

Must be doing something right...my words about anti-foodbank MP & his wages being twisted by the Tories today into trying to label me an education 'snob''....what a joke...🙄 They can't think of anything else to have a go at.... HOWEVER, I'll let my record in education do the talking inc helping 500,000 children with their maths during lockdown...giving bursaries for young people and schools with disadvantaged backgrounds like mine....helping Blunkett introduce the Numeracy Hour....governor of inner city school......education books for decades.....recognised STEM Ambassador....I could go on. Always a believer in encouraging young people to achieve their best, in whichever way that comes around, to be strong and happy and confident. Anything else being espoused is offensive, targeted, predictable Right Wing nonsense. PS Tories....this attack won't work. It just makes us more determined. PPS thanks for all your support...we'll beat them in the end ❤️❤️ Please RT

Dear 🇬🇧, As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit. #SOSNHS #NHS75

Suella Braverman keeps repeating that the Rwanda scheme etc is the “will of the British people” If, like me, you’re British, & this is not your “will” let her know by retweeting this please. We deserve to be heard #RwandaNotInMyName @SuellaBraverman

Replying to @LeroySkeete
@LeroySkeete Documents the Home Office was forced to disclose in the case show clearly that it was prioritizing the interests of contract-testing companies over those of animals and the wishes of the vast majority of British people who are strongly opposed to cosmetics testing.

Perhaps @UKLabour should just commit to repeal any legislation that was only passed because seats don't match votes? 🤔🤷‍♂️ @PropVoting would be happy to provide a list. #MakeVotesMatter
We are deeply worried by @DavidLammy's refusal to commit to repealing Tory anti-protest laws. As yesterday showed, basic democratic freedoms no longer exist in Tory Britain. It is imperative the next Labour government restores them.

Iranians refuse to step on the #American_flag 🇺🇸 at a University in #Iran. They refuse to listen to the Ayatollahs regime's propaganda. This civil disobedience is what scares the Mullahs the most. #IRGCterrorists #MahsaAmini #IranRevolution #StopExecutionsInIran

The NHS can be properly funded. Anyone claiming otherwise is just not telling the truth taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023…

Torry Nielsen of Lincoln claimed a $10 Wild Cherry Crossword Doubler Scratch ticket at our offices and asked if he could have a big check. We were all like, "Oh, heck yea you can." We asked him what he'd be doing with his winnings and he said "Letting it ride". Congrats, Torry!
