Electoral Reform Society@electoralreform.bsky.social · last wk.

A solid majority of Labour members back PR, as do eight of the 11 Labour-affiliated trade unions, and there is a growing caucus of MPs now calling for electoral reform that spans all wings and factions of the party. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

Burnham should take the first steps towards electoral reform in his first 100 days

As Andy Burnham becomes Prime Minister, he does so in a Parliament produced by the most unrepresentative general election result on record.

How can we hope he has a serious plan for ending "the terrible suffering of people in Gaza" when he can't even bring himself to name Israel as the genocidal aggressor causing the suffering? We need concrete action - a full arms embargo and an end to trade with illegal settlements.

Here's the text from the image: --- It is a great honour and privilege to have been appointed by the Prime Minister to serve as Foreign Secretary. My parents came to Britain as Jewish refugees from the Nazis. To them, Britain was both a sanctuary and a beacon of hope in the global fight against fascism. I will carry my parents' faith in that spirit of Britain to my role representing our country. I will be a Foreign Secretary who fights for Britain's interests and our values of democracy, freedom and the rule of law on the world stage. Today, as we face a time of greater instability and threat to international law and democracy than at any time since the Second World War, these values are more important than ever. From Russia's illegal war in Ukraine to conflict in the Middle East, time and again we have seen the consequences of a more dangerous world in the cost of living crisis that families and businesses face. For Britain, that means we must work with others to defend the principles that we cherish, because it is in our national interest to do so, building on the excellent work of my predecessors and friends, Yvette Cooper and David Lammy. I will seek to deepen and strengthen our strategic alliance with the European Union which is so important for our prosperity and security and at the same time nurture our strong, enduring and essential alliance with the United States. I will uphold our commitment to multilateral institutions from NATO to the UN as well as working with global partners, particularly in the Global South. Pursuing our interests and values means continuing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine against Russia's illegal invasion, as Britain has done for the last four years. It means playing our part to seek to end the conflict in Iran and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. It must also mean working tirelessly to seek a sustainable peace in Palestine and Israel, including an end to the terrible sufferi *20 July 2026*

Did you know a barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced in court now. Add your name to help protect Britain's juries: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Save Britain's Juries

Juries have had the right to acquit based on their conscience for centuries. Now, a barrister is facing jail just for mentioning it in court. Add your name to help save Britain's juries.

"Reform UK platformed and celebrated a woman who publicly called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be set on fire. Yet the moment Nigel Farage is on the receiving end of hostile language, we're suddenly told words matter after all." via Truth Against Hate

The UK-US pharma deal will only benefit one group: US BIG PHARMA The deal could cause 229.000 deaths in England, according to the BMJ. It puts the profits of US corporations before NHS patients. Sign the petition to demand Andy Burnham rip up this deal: vist.ly/5bgh7

Certain vested interests have done a very good job of convincing even smart people that net zero is something entirely different from stopping climate change - the thing that is rapidly making the only home we have unlivable and risking the collapse of society in our lifetimes

If you are feeling the heat: think again as to whether you will vote (Labour) for more of it! Do you condemn you grandchildren to be the last generation in the meltdown of humanity?

Steve Akehurst@steveakehurst.bsky.social · 3w ago

Weird thing is most testing will show you that one of the most vote losing positions Labour could adopt is explicit anti-Net Zero signalling. This is because climate still disproportionately matters to Lab/Green voters while Lab/Reform voters don’t care either way...
