Our electoral system, First Past the Post, robs millions of voters of a voice. It creates 'safe seats' where MPs can safely ignore huge sections of their constituency.
And it distorts our democracy.
We’re fighting for proportional representation - where every vote counts.
@MarkHarrisNYC It's so reminiscent of the 70s American New Wave. The studio system was churning out meager facsimile films (sequels, franchise) before auteur driven projects blew away box office expectations. Admittedly, budgets are bigger now and Gerwig/Nolan are established filmmakers.

In the past month, we have collected over 1.5m kg of trash with Interceptor 006 in Guatemala. 🇬🇹
We are still learning from operating in this harsh environment, but we’ll build on this positive start and keep optimizing the Interceptor Barricade for this one-of-a-kind river.

Alastair Campbell claims the British public were “lied to” by "conmen Johnson and Farage" and calls for Boris Johnson to be held accountable ☟ #BBCQT

Tories borrowed more than all Labour Govts combined.
Squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich, contracts for cronies.
No new industries.
Public services destroyed
Tomorrow marks the 7th anniversary of the EU referendum. To mark it, we've done some polling with Public First (thanks to @racheljanetwolf and team and to @SophieStowers for putting these graphics together). You can find details here: https://t.co/7Af4XXJjHf 1/8
Glad this is still getting traction. We discussed it on @RestIsPolitics and it had a huge response. As Johnson and his cronies seem to shape a new lying narrative about a sordid plot against him as victim, listen to Philippa Bateman. And never forget the lies told and damage done
@NatConTalk It's a good start. You need a few more flaming torches and those chairs are way off brand. Was thinking about an abbreviation, perhaps Natism? You could call yourselves Natsis? Red and white always works on a flag too...

Today is a monumental day as Jimmy Murphy’s statue is unveiled.
Jimmy is the most important man in @ManUtd history.
Here begins a thread.
“Telling them what Jimmy did… it’s the most important thing you can tell a young player who is representing Manchester United," Sir Alex Ferguson told me for my 2018 biography of Jimmy.
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY was released 55 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the greatest and most influential films to come out of Hollywood, the making of story behind Stanley Kubrick’s classic is as epic as the film itself.
