Our military-industrial complex thrives on the profits of war. Defense contractors influence our foreign policy through relentless lobbying and generous campaign contributions, pushing us from one conflict into the next.
This cycle of profit-driven warfare must end.

They came after me with the cat lady shit too. So please just sit down & listen.
Misogyny is one of the deadliest weapons on earth. Misogyny is electoral interference. Misogyny is a national security threat so lethal we can’t even see it.

I hope I’m wrong but this week feels like a dark inflection point for America. The tech bros have got their man on the presidential ticket.
My piece for @ObserverUK on the tech billionaires backing Trump. Welcome to the broligarchy.

Labour should follow their members, the unions and many of their own MPs and back proportional representation in this parliament. theguardian.com/politics/art…

34% OF THE VOTE, 63% OF THE SEATS, 100% OF THE POWER
If you agree that we need to make ALL votes matter, add your name to the call for #ProportionalRepresentation!

6 in 10 voters did not get an MP they voted for at this election - a record high.
A further 1 in 10 votes just bloated the majority of candidates who'd already won.
This is how a government can hold 2/3 of the seats on 1/3 of the vote.
Something has to change.

Polling showed that only 5% of people planning to vote Labour were doing so bc 'I agree with their policies' & 48% said to 'get the Tories out'.
Only Proportional Representation can reinvigorate our politics to a point where everyone can vote for who they actually believe in.

All of the pandering to racists, transphobes and neoliberal spivs, for the sake of 0.3%?! 😳 #GetPRDone

The most broken #FPTP election result ever resulting in the most unpopular entrance to number 10 the UK has seen to date.

We need to stop measuring 'the economy' by how well rich people are doing...
and start measuring a country’s success by its standard of living, access to healthcare and education... and how little unemployment, homelessness and poverty there is.

Don't forget most of us didn't even vote Tory... and most of us won't be voting Labour either.

Keir Starmer, "Don't forget what the Conservatives have done"
"Don't forget partygate.. Covid contracts.. The lies.. The kickbacks.. The division.. The scapegoating of minorities.. The failure to invest.. The trips to the bookies.. The decimation of your public services.. Telling people: we're all in it together.. The people who hurt your family finances swanning around in the House of Lords are giving tax cuts to the richest 1% that crashed our economy"
"Don't forget any of it" 👏
