Monday 20th March 2023 #rdguk https://t.co/S1qnP5RSIz

An unsettled week ahead.

It's also the last week before the clocks go forward, and hence the last week where the evening weather models are released before 7pm - so I might switch cadence next week to Tuesday/Friday m...

The courage of Iranian women is staggering. This is well known activist #SepidehQolian 4 years & 7 months in prison, released literally moments ago and the FIRST thing she does (by the gates) is:

[The Movement Forward | StopTheTories.vote @MVTFWD]

Britain consistently REJECTS the Tories and right wing ideas.

In the 1979 General Election, 56.1% voted for other parties.

1983, 57.6%
1987, 57.8%
1992, 58.1%
2010, 63.9%
2015, 63.2%
2017, 57.7%
2019, 56.4%

The Tories WON them all anyway.

We need Proportional Representation.

It is time to cap party donations at just £5k per annum.

This is the only way to address concerns over donors' potential hidden influence over politicians.

If @Jeremy_Hunt is serious about getting people back to work, we need to fix the NHS. The NHS is not a drain on the economy, it is essential to its success. 2.5 million people are off work. Not all of them will recover, but many would with better healthcare. And Hunt knows this.

There are 1,273 stretches of river in France designated as bathing waters. In England just 2.
