This is what reformism brings.

Other political paths are available.
Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.
Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

I agree.
Love this from Russell Tovey.

"I’m really following what the Green Party are doing, and I think we should all get behind them. As a community, they’re a party that we can really look to, to represent us.”

NATO’s Mark Rutte on Russia at Munich: “They lost 65,000 people in December and January. They are not winning this…

“If there is a dictator in Moscow willing to do that…we have to take that seriously, because this is crazy behaviour.”

When a person who tried to steal an election with an orchestrated insurrection tells you he’s going to protect future elections, you’re fucked. The time to deal with him is now America. The rest of us are doing our part. Your turn.

Good meeting with Keir Starmer in Munich.

Europe and the UK share similar challenges.

it is natural that we work closer to protect our people and common interests.

We had a successful summit last year - let's keep the momentum and deliver at the next one.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

All Londoners should be able to swim safely in the capital’s waterways.

A proposed bathing water site on the Thames is a big step forward and could help make that possible if approved. My upcoming Clean and Healthy Waterways Plan will take this further.

Labour are done.

And Reform offer no solutions - their extreme division will just make things worse.

The Green Party want to lower bills, protect our NHS and rebuild our public services.

Hannah Spencer, our local plumber, for the win! 💚

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Really proud to be the LGBT+ Trailblazer of the year.

And so proud of the real trailblazers - like my boyfriend - who works in palliative care.

Our NHS workers, our teachers, our cleaners.

The people who keep our country running.

And LGBT+ History month matters. Representation matters.

We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save UK from fascism
If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.

I want to be clear: Donald Trump’s administration is temporary. California’s commitment is not.

He will be gone in three years. Our resolve to confront climate change is enduring and we remain a stable, reliable partner in that fight.

The long slide backwards continues.
The SAVE Act, which passed in the House, will make voting much more difficult for many people, including women whose proof of citizenship won't work because they changed their names when they married.
