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...

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...

🚽 FLUSHED WITH SUCCESS! Thank you! Labour proposals for a better public loo strategy passed unanimously at B&NES Council last night, seconded by Lib Dem Economic Development lead Paul Roper. Next? Solid action, so this motion doesn't just go down the pan... #BNES #Labour #PublicLoos

BNES council Labour group's public loo campaign poster with a banner across it saying, 'thank you! campaign win - council action next'. It adds, 'thanks to your support, all councillors votes yes on Thu 17 July.'

In the background is their original campaign poster, which asked the public to contact their councillors to support the proposal, saying:
'Let's all look at our public loos'
'56% drink less in case they'll need a wee'
'loo-worry limits trips out for 20% of us'
'6million visitors a year, half a billion pounds from tourism, but only 20 public toilet sites in B&NES, down from 27 n 2011, most closed by 6pm'

Only 20 public loo sites for the whole of Bath & NE Somerset. Local? Ask your councillor if they're voting to sort out the out of date public loo strategy on Thu 17th. Contact them here - democracy.bathnes.gov.uk/mgFindMember... and read the Labour Group motion here - shorturl.at/W6Gdi

A campaign poster, calling on residents of Bath & North East Somerset to contact their local councillor before the vote on a public loo strategy on 17 July. It says there are 6 million visitors a year, that tourism brings in half a billion pounds, but loo-worry limits trips out for 1 in 5 and 56% drink less, in case they'll need the loo when they're out. It has links to the 'find your councillor' pages on BNES' website and a link to the motion, which is from BNES Labour Group. The links are https://democracy.bathnes.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx and https://shorturl.at/W6Gdi

Brilliant from @teamlabouruk.bsky.social, Mayor Helen Godwin & the west of of England combined authority. Kids are free to explore their local countryside and towns over the holidays rather than festering, with nothing to do, over the summer holidays. Brilliant initiative! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

Big win for BNES families - from Sept 25, all eligible families will be auto-enrolled for #FreeSchoolMeals, thanks to @BNESLabour. From Sep '26, all families on Universal Credit qualify - almost 6,000 local families. Labour locally, working with Labour nationally. #LabourDelivers

Have you seen the papers today? Latest polling shows clearly that only Labour & Helen Godwin can beat the Tories & Reform here. Don't risk it by voting for any other party on Thur 1 May 🗳

While the US has seen a significant rise in wealth inequality over the past 40 years, the UK has not. This is despite UK household wealth doubling in this period. How has this happened? And what is the impact of this extra wealth? buff.ly/4f1H5hQ

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/
