When the Representation of the People Bill returns to Parliament next week, so too could an amendment to set up a National Commission for Electoral Reform. The Prime Minister wants PR, as does the country. Let's make it happen. Compass Director Neal Lawson in The Guardian.

Makes sense. During Covid there was mass panic buying. I get that they have to prepare us, just wish the country was in a more settled mood. Lot of unhappy people who are very distrustful of each other and government.

Is there anything this country hasn't ruined for the spoils if profit? Used to have a proud tradition of publicly funded services. I think Blair government to blame, preceded by Thatcher of course.

Donald abandoned his 3 oldest kids, when they were all in grade school, to run off with a mistresses. He had a child with that mistress, speculated about the eventual size of that baby's breasts, and then abandoned her too. He married his next mistress. And cheated on her with someone in porn.

A year ago today, @labourlewis.bsky.social brought his Private Members' Bill on water to Parliament.It aimed to fix our broken system by giving the public a say over who should own it.Since then, the call for public ownership has only grown.Watch his speech: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gIO...
