I LOVE Remedios Varos' work so much, and this reminds me of the homunculi in Small Prophets. Apparently there is a season 2 coming, and if you haven't seen the first season, I recommend you do.

Burnham has announced the government's plan to scrap first past the post. I've signed the petition below, to avoid this being shelved (again!). It makes sense to sign it, whilst we're still trapped in this decaying union. action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/201578/...

The PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.

We've heard promises before. I've signed to make sure this one is kept. It takes 30 seconds

Plaid Cymru respects Burnham's commitment to deliver change. But talk of a new politics rings hollow if it's not matched by a willingness to devolve power from Westminster to Wales. Our nation needs the tools to build a more prosperous future and a stronger economy.
