Today @UKLabour started the process of getting rid of the remaining 92 (white male) peers who inherit their 'Lord' title & seat. THIS IS A GOOD STEP. Next they want to consult the public on future of the Lords. Support the campaign for a #HouseofCitizens https://t.co/FEXftRAgeE

🤯 WHAT? Politicians doing what they said they'd do?

An excellent 1st step to upgrade our democracy.

If we want politicians to always keep their promises we must demand a #HouseOfCitizens to replace the #HouseOfLords.

Terrifying that this features my face. But the message feels more important than ever. Banning hereditory peers is a drop in the ocean of the changes we need to build a politics the public will trust. #abolishthelords #houseofcitizens now. We need politics via @SortitionNow

"Our political system has been corrupted by the interests of big business and vested interests."

@XRebellionUK member @EtienneStott says Windsor Castle protests are calling for a citizen's assembly to guide policy.

Truss and Johnson’s resignation honours were a disgrace. It’s time to reform the House of Lords.

🆕 Can involving the public in economic policy-making help the UK tackle the cost-of-living crisis?

A new project sought to answer that question by offering citizens the chance to create their own policy recommendations addressing the challenges of soaring living costs 🧵

Ahead of the @bankofengland’s interest rate decision this morning☀️, we’re outside calling for an end to interest rate hikes🛑

Great to see @angelaeagle supporting the idea of a windfall tax on unearned bank profits on @SkyNews this morning!

Why should banks keep profits made from struggling households & businesses?

So many things wrong with the fact banks are allowed to make massive profits while people can't afford homes. We need > a windfall tax on banks' profits NOW https://t.co/hY7xDpZzHj and > a public banking system so we don't have to rely on dodgy big banks https://t.co/oexnOYzyqt

[Positive Money UK 🦋 @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social @PositiveMoneyUK]

Analysis from @theipaper found the UK’s biggest banks collectively made £4.8bn in additional profits during 2022, as a result of rising interest rates.

So why is @Jeremy_Hunt refusing to tax those windfall profits?

Time to demand he #TaxTheBanks 👉 https://t.co/RiYugO1HNy
