There are signals from various sources that Russia knows it is going to lose in its illegal invasion of Ukraine. We must prevent Donald Trump from assisting Vladimir Putin any further with one of his bullshit deals. Keep the pressure on.

Police in Britain Repeatedly Declined to Investigate Epstein. Why?

Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police interviewed Virginia Giuffre 3 times after her lawyers handed them a dossier of evidence saying that she was trafficked to UK by Epstein and Maxwell, and made her have sex with Prince Andrew

But they did not launch an investigation

Putin hit The Trifecta.

1 )Sanctions lifted

2) US weapons meant for Ukraine went to the Middle East.

3) Huge profits in oil and gas, funds he'll use in the war of Ukraine.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Release all the Epstein files.

Stop the Trumpstein war, prosecute the Trumpstein oligarchs.

Yes. We will blame Trump for all of this. Not Jared, not Steve, not Pete.

Trump.

Because he is the President.

He is the commander-in-chief.

Therefore the responsibility is his and his alone.

Q: “A new report shows 🇺🇸 struck the school in Iran. Do you take responsibility?”

TRUMP: “I don’t know about it.”

Heartless.

(H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

So, Putin is providing intelligence to Iran to target American soldiers, ships, etc, and Vlady's puppet, Mr. Trump, is only responding by easing sanctions on Russia?
Boy, that Pee Tape must be a doozy!

Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

👏 "I want to put on record my support for the work of the APPG for Fair Elections and to urge ministers to look at the call for some form of National Commission on Electoral Reform."

📜 The House of Commons just debated the Representation of the People Bill

"If we stick with First Past the Post under an increasingly fractured multi-party political landscape, we have a very real risk of the next general election results looking much like a random number generator."

Well said @rozsavage.bsky.social 👏👏👏

This Bill does not touch on electoral reform however. I'm calling on the Government to establish an electoral commission to look at alternatives to First Past the Post.

People should be able to vote for the best person, not the best guess. (3/3)

🗳️"I think this Bill would have been a great opportunity to have a kind of commission... to make sure that people feel that their vote counts."

📣 @catsmithmp.bsky.social used her speech in the Representation of the People Bill debate to endorse our plan for a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

"They've called it the Representation of the People Bill but they're refusing to let the people actually be represented."

Well said, @femi-oluwole.bsky.social 👏👏👏

"Numerous MPs across parties called for a move to PR, or at least a National Commission on Electoral Reform, arguing FPTP is unfit for a multi-party political landscape.

@appgfairelections.bsky.social and Make Votes Matter are among those planning to keep up the fight."

💬 Brendan O’Hara MP speaks during this week's Representation of the People Bill debate 👇

❗️Increasing political fragmentation means the case for electoral reform is now stronger than ever.

Thank you to @elliechowns.bsky.social @lisasmartmp.bsky.social @rozsavage.bsky.social @patrickhurley.bsky.social @jamesnaish.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social @zoefranklinld.bsky.social and the many other MP who spoke out for fair votes.

During the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill, MP after MP got up to point out what's missing from it: fixing the voting system.

The problems with FPTP can no longer be ignored - and neither can the growing calls for PR. 📣

Here are just a few highlights:

With 4 parties and in some areas 5 parties, candidates are going to get elected where the more than two thirds of the voters have waisted their vote.
Voting is becoming like gambling now where people weigh up the odds and people vote negatively to keep someone from winning.

📑 In his speech about the Representation of the People Bill, @ollyglover.bsky.social quoted an open letter from 50+ academics, warning about the dangers of FPTP.

It will cause unnecessary chaos and destabilise politics.

It's too complicated, people wouldn't know how to vote.

It's not a priority right now.

Those were some of the arguments used over a century ago against giving women the vote. Sounds familiar?

💥 Professor Vernon Bogdanor writes for @financialtimes.com:

"An electoral system should do two things: ensure that the majority rules and that significant minorities are adequately represented.

First Past the Post achieves neither."

Change the voting system and let women’s voices be heard When out campaigning, especially in the run up to elections I often encounter women who say they do not vote. This is one area of life where socio-economic status does not seem to be a factor, with mu...

As we approach International Women's Day 2026 - former MEP @julie4north.bsky.social explains how PR can stop the slide into far-right extreme politics which would undermine so many of the rights generations of women have fought for.

Proportional representation is true rule by the people | Letters Letters: Readers respond to Gaby Hinsliff’s defence of first past the post, and Polly Toynbee’s call for electoral reform

"Ultimately voting systems should exist to reflect the will of the people. If they do not, is it rule of the people or rule by the system?"

Great letter in the Guardian by Hugo, a campaigner with Young Make Votes Matter 👏👏👏

"Many people vote all their lives without electing anyone."

Great to see this in the Islington Tribune!

While we love all of our supporters from the US, we are a UK-based campaign and - like most of our posts - this post was about UK politics.

We agree that the US should move to a proportional system as well!
