It’s not enough to protect our democracy. We must make it stronger.
HR 1 will:
🗳Expand the right to vote
🔒Protect our elections
💸End dark money in politics ⚖️Root out corruption and hold elected officials accountable
Our democracy belongs to the people. Let's act.
Fascinating research showing that wealth (particularly property wealth) *increased* support for Brexit.
When we say that Brexit was driven by the "left behind", we need to be clearer that this means "left behind" in cultural/social terms rather than economic terms.
For #HolocaustMemorialDay my friend @davidjrosenberg is reminding us that Auschwitz was just the end of a process that began with fascist propaganda.
His badge says ‘Smash fascism before fascism smashes you’. Spot on!

I helped make this film with three survivors of genocide called The Warning Signs
We must remember and be vigilant genocide always begins with the denial of rights
The bill for Boris Johnson’s Brexit is coming in and it’s punishingly steep | Andrew Rawnsley https://t.co/RwxCNJrMY0 all this was scrupulously set out by Sir Ivan Rogers - not an idle fearmonger but clear-eyed realist in a series of lectures and articles
👀 “Before the Cambridge Analytica story had broken. Before Facebook's acknowledgement that its platform had been used to help incite ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. Before the WhatsApp lynchings in India. Before QAnon and the Proud Boys - Mark Zuckerberg had the world at his feet.”
You want to support Russians? Support Navalny and keep Putin out of your politics, your borders, your computer systems? Tell your politicians to treat him like the mafia terror sponsor that he is, or they are complicit in this crackdown and his next murder.
Younger Brits, denied FOM & Erasmus & opportunities across 27 friendly nations to live, work, thrive, love, eventually retire, are being sacrificed on the altar of a petty & destructive ideology driven by a clique of Brexiter tax-dodgers who have got this by lies & deceit.
Russian police have arrested more than 2,000 protestors who took to the streets across the country – demanding the release of the jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

So we’ve reached the part of Brexit where government advisors tell UK companies to lay off British staff, open EU operations and employ EU based staff to circumvent Brexit barriers. Genuinely no one thought this through. https://t.co/zDALi81Idc
#OTD 2012. Cameron says the British people must "have their say" on Europe as he pledges an in/out referendum if he is re-elected
Miliband opposes a referendum and says it is "going to put Britain through years of uncertainty, and take a huge gamble with our economy."
This is unbelievable and needs to be sorted immediately.
Please RT if you agree and help put the pressure on @MattHancock to get this fixed.

From the @FT's long read on the Brexit negotiations: ministers refused to assess the economic impact of their proposed Brexit deal, because they knew what it would reveal - and they didn't want to share that information with the public. https://t.co/fSeWnitjyk
The virus is in high transmission due to the government’s inaction. Nobody else is too blame. Yet we are currently listening on TV about those who are having house parties. Whilst ignoring the mass negligence of the government. Brainwashing.
Should those exercising socially distance >2 meters
This study suggests to avoid passing through “droplet clouds” from others exercising these distances should be kept:
Fast walkers at least 4m
Runners 10m
Fast cyclists 20m apart

Former President Jimmy Carter turned 96 years old in 2020.
This is what compassion, empathy, generosity, grit and kindness looks like.
President Carter, the oldest living president in US history, at age 95, built Habitat for Humanity homes in Nashville
I tabled an amendment to the EU Withdrawal Bill on animal sentience back in 2017, & after huge pressure from campaigners, the Government finally agreed to act. Now we've left the EU, animals no longer have this protection - yet STILL no action. Please do contact your MP 👇
