Men will send me emails like this and then go rampaging on the streets of Dover and Portsmouth claiming they want to keep refugees out in order to “PROTECT OUR WOMEN!” Not a single one of the young male refugees I’ve worked with has ever spoken to me with such violent misogyny.

Humanity making Progress. This current wave of neofascist consciousness will not, it looks like, resolve through war, but rather, through apt ridicule and the cleansing eye of modern public scrutiny. (Imagine if this was happening 90 years ago?!) Now can we lend our lenses to the USA? #specsavers

💥 New polling by @yougov.co.uk shows that 53% of MPs support a review of Westminster's voting system - a National Commission on Electoral Reform. First Past the Post is long past its sell-by date. The country is ready for change - it's time for PR 💪

I have hope - Andy is the first sitting PM to have vocalised support for PR, and for that I have nothing but cheerleading.. if he gets that done I don’t care about anything else he achieves, it will be a successful term.

Please ask him where he stands on electoral reform now (having ducked it while leader)..

Great to see this in the @ippr.org's new report 👇💯 To restore faith in democracy, ensure genuine representation and stop extremists from exploiting people's frustrations, we need a fair voting system where all voices are heard.

The Church has a lot of work to do (understatement) to make up for this deep wound - the violent disconnection between people and land.

The Church is responsible for one of the biggest genocides in human history - the massacre of 1 million animist peoples of Gaul (France), who lived as a part of nature.

The Church sits at the heart of our disconnection with nature. Just look at the definition of nature, which was heavily influenced by the church:

I'm with Dale Vince - end political donations, all parties get the same fund and win/lose on their ideas alone. Also, a glimmer of hope that Burnham / Rayner seem to be stepping towards PR. Game changer.

A few months ago, Andy’s path to No 10 looked remote, unrealistic. And yet here we are, he’s well and truly on the way. The best chance of an upgrade to our antiquated voting system in a generation. Hopefully we will be celebrating soon (ish).

Beware the Dictatorship of Monsters. They await us in Britain. Lurking in the heartlands. Fuelled by lust of fear and hatred. Driven only by the greed for power. We musn‘t fall asleep. We musn‘t let the vampires in. America welcomed them into their House. Now look as they are bled dry.

A serious leader would have honoured his promise to upgrade our voting system, in 1997. Nor would they have invaded a country based on a lie. Thanks Tony, seriously. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

I assure you he is pro-PR. On the rest of it I agree with you. PR ultimately means more of the people we want get seats at the table, for that alone i‘d support him short term. “Voting is not a valentine, it’s a chess move” - Rebecca Solnit

Surely there is a case for the unions to drop Labour and get behind the Green Party? Stronger alignment of social values, including an upgrade to our moth-eaten voting system. Labours power psycho-drama serves no-one, as with the Tories. What unions continue to see in Labour I just can’t fathom.

The voting system sets the rules and tone of the kitchen, it’s foundational. Change the system and invite in political innovation and a whole new raft of chefs will want to play. Decent wise people don’t want to engage with the current game, and I don’t blame them. Have you got a better solution?

Peter Barden @peterbarden.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Quite right. We simply must upgrade our voting system.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.
