⚠️ Best for Britain CEO, Naomi Smith: “Farage has stopped at nothing in his race to the bottom, including orchestrating a disastrous Brexit that 62% of voters now agree is a failure and normalising a strain of intolerance that risks ushering in a far nastier and more dangerous politics."

Divisive Farage by-election a reminder our politics badly needs repair - Best for Britain

Farage is doing what fascists do. Claiming the "will of the people" or "his people" is more important than the law.

“Things change in this country when ordinary people say 'we demand change'. This is one of the issues that is starting to feel louder and louder at the moment. I think there is that level of consensus that we can't carry on with the system we currently have.” 🗨️ Angela Rayner on LBC this morning

It's too early to rule out (or in) until we know what they stand for chimes with our Green Party focus to end rip off Britain. But Labour continuing to work with the very people who have wrecked our country and our economy cannot be the answer. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

But the Green Party leader caveated his answer, amid reports Mr Burnham is sounding out the direction Labour could take under his stewardship.

1/2 At a time when the Trans+ community continues to face real hostility in the UK, things like Trans+ History Week really matter. It shouldn’t need saying, but transgender, non-binary, gender-diverse and intersex people deserve to feel safe, respected and included.

Andy Burnham could change voting system without manifesto commitment, Make Votes Matter says

The group's CEO said that putting proportional representation in a manifesto "is great, but the urgency is greater than that"

If the next general election is held under First Past the Post, we could get a government that 25% of people voted for. Or we could end up in a situation where the winning party is not the one that got the most votes. This is an emergency. Proportional Representation can't wait - we need it now 🚨

Tony Blair. What the billionaire class have paid for.

This is an absolutely unworkable mess. It's going to end up having to be withdrawn, *probably* over cis people being 'wrongly' challenged over facilities. Given how easy it is to see that shitstorm coming…how's it been issued in this form?

Here’s what the guidance has to say about policing people’s sex.

What the government is doing to trans people is a society-wide version of Section 28. It is a level of bureaucratic cruelty that utterly decimates a whole group of people’s rights and puts anyone who doesn’t ‘look’ right in the eyes of others under constant surveillance. It’s a horrific thing.

Britain has crossed the multi-party Rubicon. First Past the Post is producing chaotic and deeply unfair election results. Just 16.5% of councillors won majority support while millions of voters go unrepresented. It’s time for electoral reform. drive.google.com/file/d/1J1XB...

I share the worry of trans people at the prospect of PM Wes Streeting. At Health he ignored the voices of young trans people and restricted gender-affirming care, causing harm to a generation. It is up to Labour to choose its leader, but members must also choose a better direction on trans rights

Absolute chaos in Milton Keynes. The Lib Dems won the most seats - despite coming FOURTH in vote share. Do we need any more evidence that First Past the Post isn't working?
