“Reform has reached the tipping point where first-past the-post can aid it. Labour last year won 63% of seats on 34% of votes, Farage could win a majority on puny votes. Electoral reform is now in every party’s interest, and above all, in voters’”

Agree people don’t know what councils do etc. But I also think the public is reasonable enough to question why the local area looks dirty/declining etc while council tax bills have gone up and up and up and up and up. Politically it’s therefore currently ripe for undeliverable promises

My MP, @elliereeves.bsky.social: when will Rachel Reeves tax the ultra-rich rather than cut down the aid budget?
French MPs have voted in a bill that would introduce a minimum tax of 2% on the wealth of the richest 0.01% of French taxpayers (~1,800 people), to bring in €15-25 billions into the state coffers, for use on public services and/or the ecological transition.

In signing such a surge of new oil and gas licenses, they are signing away our future.
Countries must phase-out fossil fuels – fast and fairly.”
