To the Left on the political spectrum. Welsh and pro devolution and a federal Britain. Interested in what directly affects me, so pro-EU, anti Trump US and anti-monarchy. Suffered under Thatcher, and hate ALL those parties to the Right.

Please vote for #ReformUK if this is what you want your health care to look like. When you privatise healthcare, you have a built-in profit margin and that’s the difference. It becomes a money-making machine. #SaveOurNHS keep the profiteers out.

The vast majority of European countries use forms of Proportional Representation, and have done so for many decades. Not one of them has a significant grassroots campaign for switching to First Past the Post.

The reality is that under a proportional voting system, it is much less likely that you get a runaway result. That’s fair and there is no doubting that. We have to get this right. @electoralreform.bsky.social - let’s hope they are consulted. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/o...

So, £72million from crypto billionaires to get Reform “ready for government”. Absolutely no chance. They have over 300 candidates to find and this is their track record… They attract total liabilities and Reform is too racist, corrupt and idiotic to recruit anything better.

The only 4 constituencies where rejoining the EU wasn’t the preferred option were those of Lee Anderson, Farage, Tice and Lowe. In those 4, the top answer was ‘don’t know’. Confirming that Brexit has no real support at all. Not surprising for a total shitshow. And makes red lines seem very silly.

Farage and Reform despise the characteristics that make a civilised society. The RNLI have a mission to save lives irrespective of who the person is, their background & where they are from. The RNLI saved enemy forces in the seas around the UK in WW1 & WW2 but such humanitarianism is beyond Farage.
