It's the the tradition of broken parent child relationships.
It's the world view of rich white men who employ nannies and send their kids to boarding school
The fact that Reform want people to have more kids and also want to end working from home shows how incoherent their world view is.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Take Big Money Out of Our Politics
British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

I just signed the campaign calling on Reform UK to publicly reject Tommy Robinson’s endorsement of Matt Goodwin, Reform UK's candidate for the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election.

It’s time for Keir Starmer to pick a side. From protecting our right to peaceful protest, to getting us off dangerous fossil fuels, the UK can be the alternative to everything that’s wrong with Trump.

It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? 🤷‍♀️ I’ve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...
MPs shouldn't be able to switch parties without asking us first!
I just signed a petition calling for mandatory by-elections when an MP changes their political party. We vote for a specific manifesto and set of values—if that changes, we should get to vote again. I...

I've been waiting for this.

Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.

It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

The results of an independent autopsy for Renee Good have been released as part of a law firm's civil investigation, two weeks after she was shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis.

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken.

I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Tell your MP: our democracy shouldn’t be a gamble!
Our democracy shouldn’t be a gamble. First Past the Post fails 70% of voters. We urgently need to scrap it. I’ve asked my MP to attend a crucial briefing on how to do just that. Join me 👉

Our current FPTP system, a system we are almost unique in sharing with Belarus, regularly generate large parliamentary majorities on a minority if tge vote. We saw this with Johnson in 2019 and again in 2024 with Labour.

Quite so. The wealth gap is the major unaddressed flaw in our economy.
The truth is everyone in the UK should be getting a payrise and every public service should be getting increased funding, and we should be doing it by punishing the billionaires who have been punishing everyone else for 15+ years.

The unacceptable face of privatisation of what should be public services.
UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.

In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.

Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.

No end to nightmare without public ownership.
