There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

It doesn't worry me what the right wing loons in British media are saying. It does worry me that Starmer listens to them far too much.

This is outrageous. Solidarity.
