We have one.
Itβs called proportional representation.
America. What the hell is wrong with you?
That will never happen. Your former friends and allies will never trust you again because itβs not just Trump but the system and society that elevated him. Where were the checks and balances? Why was he allowed to do all that damage to us?
30 years too late Angela.
Eco justice is also the same as justice for human beings. Because the only true wealth is life and billionaires need to understand this.
Morgan McSweeneyβs cynical view of the British working class Labour voter as gammon has been turned on its head by Hannah Spencerβs victory in Manchester. People just needed to see a genuine working class person calling out the billionaires who twist our politics and oppress ordinary people.
Wonderful news to wake up to that the Greens have won the Gorton by-election by standing up for what ordinary people want - tax billionaires, condemn Gaza genocide, and controlled emigration is a social good we all benefit from. Reform and Labour soundly rejected.
Your Party revealed to be another unionist stalking horse. Scotland gets 1 member on 24 member executive while 9 English regions get 2 each. There you have it. A while nation but weβre only worth 1/2 an English region. Suck it up suckers.
A crypto investor just donated Β£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...
Demand the Β£600 million back
Good. PM showing some backbone. Ratcliffe is a fat cat tax dodger. Who owes the UK gov Β£600 million. Make him pay up.
Heβs a vile pirate. Raided the workersβ pension scheme.
I just signed a petition calling for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm? Sign now: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ma...
Good work! ππ
Thought so.
My thoughts exactly.
Brrrr! Youβre brave! Iβm snuggled up round the fire contemplating if itβs too early to start on the whisky. Happy New Year when it comes!π
It was signed by the barons of Scotland, not βthe peopleβ. The barons attached their seals. The same barons who died at Flodden.

You did great Alex! πππ Spoken from the heart, clear and effective.
Thatβs right. The Labour vote collapsed by half and went to Reform. Some of the Conservative vote also went to reform. The SNP vote held up and so did the Greens. After transfers the SNP were short by only 24 votes.
You were terrific Callum. Such an upbeat and energetic campaign. It was a privilege to be part of it.ππππ
Our streets are getting busier with more accidents between pedestrians and motorists especially in the Ashley Terrace area close to the school. Better traffic management needed.
