🔥 The UK's voting system is bust, writes @pollytoynbee. “The government needs to get to grips with this,” says APPG for @FairElectionsUK chair @alexsobel. Keir Starmer could set up a commission right away and implement change before the next election.

📜 To be clear, there IS consensus across the Labour movement that First Past the Post is broken - including Labour's official policy. 🎯 Now we just need to decide how to repair it, which is why we need a National Commission on Electoral Reform. 2/2
