Hasan Piker convinces three voters in Denver driving by to vote for Melat Kiros before polls close at 7PM

"What do you guys think about the data center that just popped up over here?"

"Yeah! That random one? We hate it!"

"Alright listen, Diana DeGette, who's represented this district for 30 years in congress, is saying nothing about the data centers because she's in the pocket of corporations.

Melat Kiros is gonna fight back with a data center moratorium. She wants to put a stop to these data centers being getting popped up left and right.

You guys are stuck between a data center and a Purina factory and that's not good for these little guys back there."

"It's poison, yeah."

"Do you have a ballot in your house right now?"

"I have three."

Big Tech’s ambition to build more and more energy-hungry data centres is putting the UK’s climate targets at risk, and the Government is letting them. Now is the time to act. https://t.co/Rz9y7qSIoN

The Local Elections show the UK urgently needs a fair voting system for Westminster - before it's too late.

Check out this excellent primer from @TLDRNewsUK on why First Past The Post is failing to deliver the stability our country and party need.

🚨 Experts warn Select Committee that First Past risks an election that is "simply indefensible".

Speaking to the @CommonsHCLG, Professors Toby James, Maria Sobolewska and Alan Renwick say government should now be looking seriously at electoral reform.

The Renters’ Rights Act coming into force in May will ban no fault eviction and make it possible to challenge unfair rent rises.

The @MayorofLondon is setting up a £400k Renters’ Rights Enforcement Fund for renters rights groups and for training for borough enforcement officers.

It's promising that, thanks to this Labour Government, the number of people claiming food parcels locally and nationally is falling.

But we need to get to a place where no one in this country has to rely on a food bank.

Great to chat with @TrussellUK about how we do this.

Yeah, @Nigel_Farage wouldn’t want this video to be shared over and over of him lavishing poodle-like praise on Donald Trump.

He’s trying to disassociate from him, so every time it’s shared it ruins that.

The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

[LCER @Labour4PR]

“In Monday’s debate, Labour MPs were among many calling for a national commission on electoral reform…

The PM is pulled from pillar to post and his in-tray is no doubt full; still, this should be near the top of it.”
