Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them.
On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping.
Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws

There is an escape route for Labour from certain disaster at the general election: use their Commons majority to ram through PR. It’s cynical, + they’d never govern alone again, but it locks Reform out of No10. The left (Lab, Gr, LD) still have a majority over the right in the UK

This deserves to be circulated.
A former Red Cross staff member got in touch.
She testifies about @ZackPolanski's role.
For transparency: her name is Brea Thibodeau.
The whole thing is a desperate smear.

You know when you use the word "greener" you are referencing Green politics, not just some generic enviromentalism, don't you? The term was brought from Australia via Die Grünen in Germany in the 70's. Before that it was just a colour.
Want Green? Vote Green! 💚

The US military has 22 sites in the UK.
Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran.
This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more.
The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.
Paul Clark retweeted
There is no way the UK should be allowing the USA to use British bases to,carry out these attacks. They would be War Crimes.
Please RT if you agree.🇬🇧

Greens *highest* *ever* polling.
Greens vs Reform nationwide 👇
YouGov / Sky News / Times voting intention
*Greens leapfrog Labour into second place*
RefUK 23% (-1)
GRN 21% (+4)
LAB 16%(-2)
CON 16%(-2)
LDEM 14%(nc),
Pollster note: This is the highest we've had the Greens, the first time we've had them in second. It is also the lowest we have had Labour.
In terms of how meaningful this is, it is obviously likely driven to a significant extent by the publicity from the Denton & Gorton by-election, as well as any impact it has from the Greens appearing a more viable option and less of a wasted vote. It remains to be seen to what extent it sticks, or whether it fades again as the immediate publicity boost recedes.

We stand with our friends across the Tamar, against fascism, Islamophobia, racism, and all forms of hate.
We hope that tonight - any every night - passes peacefully and the law-abiding, liberal, inclusive majority prevails.

Ed Davey, "We on these benches believe political reform must include electoral reform" @EdwardJDavey
"Proportional Representation giving everyone equal power to hold members of parliament to properly to account"
"And maybe even the Conservatives support that these days"
"The majority of the public agree with us"

🗣️ "Proportional Representation is necessary to restore faith in politics"
My thoughts for @guardian today on the need for electoral reform in a rigged system.

💔 #GE2024 has shattered any illusion that the House of Commons fairly represents Britain’s voters
🤯 Labour now holds almost 2/3rds of seats in return for 1/3rd of vote

Please RT for a large sample size.
The British government should:
85%introduce PR
15%keep FPTP
2,632 votes • Final results Paul Clark retweeted
🚨 21,371,364
That's how many people's votes didn't matter at Thursday's General Election.
We think that that number should be ingrained in the minds of our government when they decide how they're going to restore the lack of trust in politics...

Our research team has spent the day crunching the results to make the most accurate possible model of how the 2024 parliament would have looked with a proportional voting system. electoral-reform.org.uk/how-…

The final Survation MRP poll makes very interesting reading for Cornwall.
In every seat there is plenty of headroom between the predicted winner (Labour or LibDem) and the Tories, so you are free to vote Green if that is what you really believe in! 💚
