🚨 Trust & confidence in British politics is lower than ever
‼️ Record numbers of voters almost never trust governments to put country before party
📊 Most voters now support changing to a fair voting system
📒 New report by Sir John Curtice for @NatCen leading @BBCr4today
Just a reminder before this general election of SOME of the scandals the Tory party have participated in.
So yeah 14 years and seems since Boris came in scandals got worse.
Remember this when you vote
Keep spreading the word
It’s happening! On 4 July we will have a chance to secure a Labour Government that’s on the side of working people. If you’re an Usdaw member, be part of our campaign, sign up here https://t.co/Fb3qjhn2Eg #GE2024
It was half a century ago when “Plant a tree in ‘73” was followed by “Plant some more in ‘74” - recognition of the need for #environmental protection and improvement is not new but still not universally accepted. We must do #better.
The NJC pay claim for 2024 has now been submitted.
The recruitment & retention crisis in local government can only be fixed with the restoration of decent pay and conditions and Unite will not stand by while our members struggle to pay their bills.

SOME ACTUAL FACTS @RishiSunak
Social mobility in this country is now at its worst in over 50 years
Never in living memory have families got so much poorer over a single parliament
Real wages in 2024 are forecast to be lower than they were in 2006
The UK has just been ranked by Unicef - the United Nations Children's Fund as the worst among the world’s richest countries in child poverty levels
More than 14 million people now living in poverty
One million adults can’t afford to eat every day
9 million skipping meals and cutting back on food and millions more can’t afford to heat their homes
After fourteen years of Conservative Government We’ve got untreated sewage dumped in our rivers, crumbling schools and hospitals and Cash-strapped local authorities across the UK are forced to take out massive 50 year loans at soaring rates of interest in the aftermath of the Tories catastrophic mini-budget
Does it sound like your plan is working?
"There’s a common lament about British democracy. It’s that our electoral system, First Past the Post, systematically leaves people out."
In the conclusion of his first 2023 #ReithLecture, @benwansell made the case for PR as part of Britain's democratic future
🌹#Labour4PR
"I do think the First Past the Post system has basically failed... it was supposed to provide a clear answer and decisive government. Well, we've had fantastically indecisive government for years and years and years now"
@Peston@ayeshahazarika@TimesRadio
🌹 #Labour4PR
"We're creating a Senedd fit for the future, fully elected by proportional representation, where every vote will count"
- @MarkDrakeford#Lab23@UKLabour now officially recognises that First Past the Post is flawed. In government, we must make Westminster fit for the future too
The mood at this conference shows that we’re a party ready to govern.
Lots of hard work has gone into the New Deal and really pleased that MPs like @NavPMishra@JoStevensLabour and Debbie Abrahams showing their commitment to delivering the deal
