Andy Burnham says he wants to redistribute power to every corner of the country. That's a noble goal. But it cannot be achieved without ensuring that all votes count equally, regardless of your postcode. To empower left behind communities, we need Proportional Representation.

Ex-Prince Andrew’s Extremely Vulgar Pickup Line Shows His “Extraordinary Sense of Entitlement,” Biographer Says
Ex-Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, once reportedly used this extremely vulgar pickup line to woo women, his biographer Andrew Lownie alleged. The former Duke of York remains under investigation for suspicion of misconduct in public office, though he has not yet been charged with a crime.

Andrew received a private income by subletting Crown Estate cottages, while only paying a peppercorn rent. Yet the National Audit Office can't even establish how much he made - just another example of the secrecy that surrounds royal finances. #AbolishTheMonarchy #NotMyKing

If the next general election is held under First Past the Post, we could get a government that 25% of people voted for. Or we could end up in a situation where the winning party is not the one that got the most votes. This is an emergency. Proportional Representation can't wait - we need it now 🚨

I’m not sure why we still have a monarch. It seems like a medieval anachronism to me; a demonstration of inherited status and the the pinnacle of an entrenched aristocracy. And I’m really not sure why our monarch has gone to the US to stand next to another man with too much power, land and money.
