Labour must now use its majority to implement PR before the next General Election. These are not normal times. The international oligarch-backed Far Right machine has millions of pounds to spend on influencing voters with lies.
The UK must not fall to the Trumpian Far Right in 2030.

How the government captured the BBC
A right-wing cabal, largely unaccountable, is waging war on the principles that made our public broadcaster great. It must not succeed

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
