🚨 An undercover investigation shown on Channel 4 exposed Reform figures allegedly breaking the law over foreign funding. Now demand a full criminal investigation. Sign the petition. 🔥 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/in...

Sign the petition to hold politicians to account
Together, we can make sure no one - however rich or powerful they may be - is allowed to take us or our democracy for a ride.

That scene gave me nightmares. Bert is awful but not that bad. Less painful ways must surely be available.

I suppose it makes sense although will be sad to no longer live in the most lyrical of names, the Vale of the White Horse 😒

I donated to @FWDDEM.COM's Makerfield campaign – the biggest by-election yet. Only Andy Burnham can stop Reform there, and he could help win fair votes. Help them reach voters and push questions that rarely get heard into the national conversation: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Makerfield votes on 18 June – help stop Reform
I've just donated to Forward Democracy's Makerfield campaign. It's the biggest by-election yet. Only Andy Burnham can stop Reform there, and there's a real chance he could help us win a fairer voting ...

As we head towards May's elections look at what Reform have done in Kent in one year. It's not isolated, but stories like this have been relegated across all their councils. Check out Derbyshire and Lancashire for example. Or the total dysfunction happening in Doncaster.
Kent here - they closed the entire adult education service targeting all creative classes, leaving only functional skills, trashed studios, have closed a 100 year old art education building, spent 600,000 on their own car parking spaces, sold off art work bought by public money. Council tax has gone up, roads no better, SEN services under threat.

Can you still buy it? My fave at primary school back in the 60s, particularly when we added some sherry (Bristol Cream of course) to the mix.

Indeed. I've known several older friends with larger houses who took years to sell as they had rural settings, long before the VAT change. And what is the issue with getting a lodger? Why is this such a challenging option? Sigh...

Ironic that Meloni's crew want to celebrate St Francis, the wokest of Saints. Maybe Starmer should make St George's day a holiday too. Touché, Reform. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Private shareholders made dividends of £3.6 billion from owning our trains in the last decade. Yet the government is leaving our trains fully privately owned. Sign We Own It's petition to demand they take our trains into public ownership: weownit.org.uk/act-now/take...

Petition: Take our trains into public ownership | We Own It
The government is taking railway operators into public ownership, but the trains themselves will remain in private hands. The government must take our trains into public ownership.

Agreed. The whole thing was wonderful but I was particularly struck by the perfection of the costumes. They could have walked out of Holbein's paintings.

Shout out to Radio 3 for excellent Christmas programming - this is what I pay my licence for. Wonderful music and so open to Europe that if I close my eyes I can almost pretend that Brexit didn't happen.
