A few quick questions I just made my voice heard with 38 Degrees. Click here to have your say too.

We're currently gathering 38 Degrees supporter views to help guide our campaigning to protect and support the BBC. Let us know what we need to focus on: 38d.gs/BBCSurvey_SM...

No, it is the children who are wrong This week: Keir Starmer has decided that he blames the voters. Also: some golden age anti-car propaganda; and some new maps of British living standards.

"Where’s the soul searching about why voters might have defected to a challenger from the left? Why, in God’s name, did anyone think it was a good idea to imply a large chunk of Labour’s coalition is, in fact, stupid?"

Newsletter out. Bit angry.

Sometimes I think back to how, when Sadiq got the nomination over Tessa Jowell, Tim Montgomerie (I think) smugly tweeted "Labour has given up on London then!" or words to that effect

This 'correction' from @lewisgoodall.com regarding accusations from Reform and the Conservatives that the Greens engaged in sectarianism, deserves to be widely read.

MPs shouldn't be able to switch parties without asking us first! I just signed a petition calling for mandatory by-elections when an MP changes their political party. We vote for a specific manifesto and set of values—if that changes, we should get to vote again. I...

It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? 🤷‍♀️ I’ve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Who else but @davidallengreen.bsky.social would quote Withnail & I in an analysis of Trumpism? You should subscribe to his substack if you don't already.

Everybody was sure that Somebody would stop Trump invading Greenland. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

Petition: By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party When an MP decides they want to defect to another party a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their...

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

Sign the petition & help make that law.

Borders expert here! This ia a steaming pile of horseshit.

So many totally inadequate people have risen to the top.

Look at this ridiculous man

Thinks he could and should be Prime Minister.

Not an original idea in his head and all the charisma of a potato.

No more sexual abuse images of women and children: ban X and Grok AI Elon Musk thinks he can get away with letting his AI chatbot Grok make sex abuse images of women and children. I’m calling for a full ban on X here in the UK and you should too - add your name to the ...

Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok is being used to make sexual abuse images of women and children by manipulating photos of them. And Elon is refusing to stop it.

The Government has to step in urgently and ban X until Musk takes real action to stop this abuse. 38d.gs/BanX_BlSk01

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

7 day fantasy Budget Wishlist:

Energy is a necessity, flying is a luxury - but energy bills have VAT slapped on them while flying has none. Makes no sense, our tax system needs an overhaul - needs to be made more progressive. Home heating is not a luxury, flying on holiday is. Tax the right thing.
