💬 "Putting power in every postcode means making sure that every vote counts equally, no matter where you live." Our Manchester activist Abbie responds to Andy Burnham 🔥 Our voting system means that some places get a lot more attention than others. Redistributing power means changing this.

📺 WATCH: Angela Rayner says there's a "consensus that we can't carry on with the system that we currently have". "This is one of the issues that is starting to feel louder and louder from the grassroots." PR really feels like an idea whose time has come 💪

Election campaigns should be about debating ideas - not fighting over bar charts and conflicting tactical voting advice. People should be able to vote with hope, not to block the party they fear most. If we don't want every election to look like Gorton & Denton, we must scrap FPTP.

I hear Gordon Brown is suggesting an anti-corruption commission. One thing that does come to mind is had we had Proportional Representation and Starmer had told a Coalition Partner he wanted to appoint Mandelson as UK Ambassador to Washington, what would someone like Sir Ed Davey say? #PRnow

One side of one of those MVM - branded beermats with a blend of colour from yellow at the top to purple at the bottom and including the following text and imagery in white:  - "GETTING THE ROUND WRONG - WHAT WE WANTED:" (followed by an illustration of a round of drinks - 2/5 are soft drinks), "WHAT WE GOT:" (followed by an illustration of 5x soft drinks - an analogy for our broken FPTP voting system).  "This is how UK elections work.  You wouldn't expect it in a pub, so why is it OK for Parliament?  makevotesmatter.org.uk"A photo of 2 bar tables once everyone had left - evidence of lots of drinks, lots of MVM beermats and a lovely time had by all!
