Young people who begin voting at 16 are more likely to stay voters for life. We can’t wait to see that energy in UK elections 🗳️ #v16 #VotesAt16

Keir Starmer thinks his government has restored trust and respect to politics…

In 2024, the govt's Lords spokesman warned that ministers setting a Strategy & Policy Statement for the Electoral Commission was “inconsistent with the Commission’s role as an independent regulator." Just over a year later, the govt admitted plans for a new Statement to reflect its own priorities.

"To not have a cap on donations risks much more than to have one." In yesterday’s evidence session on the Representation of the People Bill, Dr Sam Power argued for a cap on political donations, warning that without one, the very rich will continue to exert outsized influence on UK politics.

"If you're going to maintain an appointed system, you have to ask 'how do you Johnson-proof it?'" Only 55 peers decided to tackle that question last night, by backing a proposal to give the House of Lords Appointments Commission the power to block unsuitable appointees. 1/3

Say one thing; do another. Hardly the highest standards in public office we were promised. Then: "because appointments are for life, the second chamber of Parliament has become too big." (2024 election manifesto) Now: create more new peers than the number of hereditary peers you are set to remove.

“Multi-party politics is here to stay - and given our electoral system, which is built on the premise of two-party politics, that means a lot more volatility, a lot more uncertainty.” Looking ahead to May, @robfordmancs.bsky.social predicts “a patchwork quilt of political fragmentation.”

“We do have to maintain a bedrock of freedom of speech and of peaceful protest... Otherwise, you don’t have democracy, you’ve locked it up.” Baroness Hale says it plainly. Yet just this week, MPs approved more draconian anti-protest measures. When dissent is suppressed, so is democracy itself.

🗨️"The thing about a democracy is the electoral system is supposed to deliver what the voters want." Instead, looking around councils in England we see some very warped outcomes. But it doesn't have to be this way. In Scotland & Wales, the results better reflect the balance of opinion among voters.

“There is now majority support for electoral reform among the voters of all five principal parties across the UK.” Fantastic to host the esteemed Prof Sir John Curtice at our joint UD-MVM webinar this week. If you missed it, you can watch it back here 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXme...

Mockler on Cost of Iran War: So in New York, they did free school lunches for $300 million a year, put that against the $50 billion, which is a conservative estimate for this war. We could have funded this across the country.

A judge dismissed all charges against the Broadview Six after learning prosecutors communicated with grand jurors outside the jury room, excused dissenting jurors, and redacted misconduct from transcripts. The judge said her trust in the DOJ was broken. Think about how extraordinary that is.

For the love of God, elected Democrats: stop taking advice from Republicans about the “way forward.” Your base will not tolerate it. Both sides are not equally to blame for what this country is experiencing right now. That framing is detached from reality. 🧵

We must uphold the safety of Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. The Liberals must commit to binding corporate accountability frameworks and community safety plans to ensure the safety of indigenous women and girls around resource extraction projects.

Claim. that Humans are biologically carnivores, not omnivores, because our evolutionary diet was almost entirely meat-based, we lack adaptations to safely process plant toxins, and animal foods provide complete, highly bioavailable nutrition.

 People are so fed up, they're almost reaching out in desperation for something else.

It’s time to impeach Pam Bondi. She is obstructing justice, weaponizing the DOJ against Trump’s political enemies, and shielding the powerful from accountability. Her name is synonymous with corruption. The kind that rots institutions from the inside out. No one is above the law.
