Are the rules governing MPs tight enough to hold them to account & ensure they work for their constituents?

No - MPs don’t have to be registered to vote, don’t have to be resident in the UK & don’t have to live in or near their constituency.

How many more people need to defect from the Tories to Reform before people realise Reform are just the Tories but painted a paler shade of blue?

Many people were perhaps willing to give Reform their vote who would never EVER have voted Tory.

Time for them to rethink!

@itvnews.bsky.social were apparently streaming Farage’s speech in Wales on TikTok today. So we can now expect Ed Davey, Adrian Ramsey, John Swinney and Rhun ap Iorwerth’s speeches being streaming too can we? This is now propaganda and has to stop.

One thing, as Carney & Albanese have shown, stand up to Trump. Appeasing a man with the values of Trump (and his UK acolytes Farage & Co) loses support. The evidence is local & global! He needs to ditch Blue Labour, be leftist or at least centrist, but stand for decency, rights & inclusion.

I’ve mentioned Reform a few times about this, but it goes beyond party politics.
Our democracy should be constantly changing, evolving & improving. Somehow, along the way the rules surrounding those we elect to parliament has not.

Please read, sign & share✍🏽

Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

Reversal of the welcome received under President Biden's administration.

Trump respects no law, treaty, humanitarian policy. He can't be trusted.

After today's shameful and disgusting meeting this feels like the right thing to share. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

i think we are all born - without making that choice for ourselves - into circumstances out of our control - we are doing the best we can - based on what limited choices each of us get - no one is in full control - have compassion about that for others and yourself. ✌️🥰🎉

please human responsibly. 👍❤️

Does the UK Government have a grip on the spread of misinfo in our media and disinformation online?

We’ve started a petition for a public consultation - 100k signatures and it will be considered for debate in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?
