Deeds, not words! It's not what you think, but how you relate to what you think, that gives your thoughts their power over you. Veteran. Polymath. Human. Grandfather. Pantheist & Stoic. Sally Assistance Hound has died 😭

But he IS, according to his constituents & local taxi drivers, Nigel miRage MP-For-Anywhere-But-Clacton

Given his politics is all about anger, division and hate, I find it very satisfying that his name contains the word RAGE!

First Past The Post is a threat to the UKs (remaining) democratic freedoms. For instance we've just lost the automatic right to trial by jury because blue Labour's massive majority was won on a minority of the vote. Next it will allow ReformUK to totally screw the pooch!

πŸ’₯ More than 20,000 people have signed the petition calling for changing the voting system to be part of the Representation of the People Bill.

First Past the Post leaves millions of people without representation. It's time to scrap it.

Hannah Spencer MP in her maiden speech in Parliament:

"Our struggles may be different, but our humanity is the same. We always stick together, we always fight for each other.

"And that is what I want us to take forward from International Women's Day and to do that every single day."

Wow! Well said young lady. Seems to me, listening to this, that your electorate chose correctly.

A US delegation is travelling around EU capitals this week, lobbying to weaken Europe's efforts to protect forests

Millions of people in Europe strongly support the law the delegation wants to undermine, the EU deforestation regulation

Who are our leaders going to listen to: EU citizens, or Trump?

AI images, old videos and false viral claims: what to watch out for when checking posts about the Middle East on social media – Full Fact In the last week we’ve seen a surge of misinformation relating to the war with Iranβ€”we’ve fact checked 10 viral posts, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Household costs to rise even more?

The war in Iran is pushing up oil and gas prices β€” and it shows how vulnerable the UK still is to fossil fuel shocks.

🧡Why this keeps happening and what we can do about it.

We could go after those profiteering, and fine then massively, to start with. The fuel at the pumps was bought and paid for weeks ago ie before the war in Iran even started, but they've jacked up the prices anyway...

Want to know how a Wealth Tax would REALLY work?

⚠️ Spoiler⚠️ It does not involve β€œgoing door to door looking at people’s jewellery.” It would involve self‑declaration (just like inheritance tax) & a properly resourced HMRC to catch cheats.

You're correct. Most folk have no idea of the size of the numbers:

1 million seconds = 11.57 days

1 billion seconds = 31.69 YEARS

1 trillion seconds = 31,688.09 YEARS

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

An important step in the correct direction - but so much more reform needed.

Is it because by animals the Bank Of England is referring to The Johnson, Mandelson and other similar animals?

The Lords is still a home for cronies and donors. Removing the Hereditary Peers isn’t the end, it’s just the start. Demand a fair, elected second chamber now - sign @electoralreform's call to demand change. It takes 30 seconds.
