I wish:
1. 118 multi-member constituencies electing mostly 4 or 5 MP's & 1 or 2 Senator-Lords by STV-PR.
2. A new 'Lords' 1/2 elected, & 1/2 appointed in proportion to MPs.
3. 118 sustainable-growth Mayors
4. An Office of Policy Impact
5. Citizens' Assembly legitimise referendums
@Gerashchenko_en What happens when your neighbour wants your land, resources, and children! Western leaders should be calling out this Russian "imperialism" every single day!
10 years ago, lSlS kidnapped 7,000 Yezidi women and girls and sold them like this video in slavery markets in Iraq and Syria.
Today, there are still 2702 Yezidis missing.
Not a single protest for Yezidis!
Not a single march for Yezidis!
Vovchansk, Kharkiv region.
Whenever I see videos like these, I always think about the life that went on in each apartment of these destroyed buildings. The people whose homes Russia crashed for no reason except crazy geopolitical fantasies.
16 July 1934 | Dutch Jewish boy, Rob Salomon Kets de Vries, was born in Rotterdam.
In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork. He was murdered in a gas chamber after selection.
Under one of my posts some Russian woman wrote to me:
...what war, stop lying! You Ukrainians live, go to cafes, go to work, walk in your parks. You don't have any war, stop this nonsense, we are fed up! ...
I am getting harder and more bitter to realize that there are people, and there are many of them, who see everything, know everything, but continue not to see the horror and pain in all this!
Thank you all who are with us 🇺🇦
On the video you can watch the shelling in one of the Ukrainian cities, which happened on July 8...✊

13 July 1932 | A German Jewish girl, Lonny Krotoschiner, was born in Berlin.
In March 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.
@CarolineLucas In our day-to-day lives, many of us cross constituency boundaries between home and work or education, shopping, accessing health care, sport, social services etc. Larger multi-member constituencies elected by STV reflecting local authority areas makes more sense!
@EliotHiggins Truss loses but Farage, who thought her budget was the best since Thatcher, wins! Strange are fortunes in politics and I'd hazard a guess that fortunes are behind it!
Farage admires a man who took "control of running Russia" through corruption, political repression, assassination, controlling the media and much more. Let's hope Farage is never in a position to take control of running Britain.
@RhonddaBryant Farage seems conflicted about free nations choosing their alliances and economic associations! From Poland to Sweden, countries have sought sanctuary from an increasingly aggressive, domineering, interfering, dictatorial and imperialistic Russia.
