If you don't think it's democratic that 33.7% of votes should give a party nearly 64% of the seats in Parliament, then please, sign and share as much as you can. Currently, your vote can be wasted, it can be ignored. Get your voice heard. Equality for all.

70k signatures to rejoin the EU. Big petition, timely too - polling shows the public is in favour. Let’s get it to 100k and push Labour to debate rejoining. It’s the glaringly obvious solution our economic problems and the rise of the far right. Please RT. https://t.co/bwFWFFs6j6

Note to @LeeAndersonMP_ . Just as you should never be rude to waiting staff in restaurants unless you are a fan of having bodily fluids added to your food before it is served to you**, it is inadvisable to threaten 'to come after' a popular satirical television programme unless

I've launched a new petition calling for Wealth Taxes, not more cuts. I'll be presenting this in Parliament ahead of the coming Budget. The very wealthiest must be the ones who pay for the investment our public services so desperately need. https://t.co/LWVfsunEZZ

These rivers have all tested +ve for thiamethoxam since 2020 (data from Env Agency). This neonicotinoid was banned in Europe in 2018, but is allowed on sugar beet crops in UK. That is its only authorised use. Yet it is turning up in rivers all over the place... Hugely concerning.

Encountered a hunt yesterday whilst out walking at Haytor on Dartmoor. Shortly before they arrived, we'd also seen a fox bolting across the moor. Presumably the hunt had driven it from its hole ('earth') and blocked the entrance? Thought fox hunting was illegal? 🤔

Royal Mail has been told that it could save £650m by only delivering things 3 days a week. Did you know that the taxpayer could save £4,000m a year if Royal Mail had never been privatised, or if it was renationalised, and deliver 5 days a week. I'd go with that.
