Brilliant news. I first realised over 50 years ago what a crap electoral system we have and have supported @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and @electoralreform.bsky.social who've done a fab job getting us to his moment. Hooray!

Another great day getting people's views in Ilkley. Overwhelmingly recognising more extreme weather & loss of nature. Large majority wanting public and MPs to be better informed and wanting a televised national briefing. @nebriefing.bsky.social @johnmarsham.bsky.social

We ended up talking to over 140 people, young and old, in 2.5 hours and ran out of space on the board in the boxes for Very Concerned.

We're on the street in Ilkley getting opinions on climate change. People are keen to put stickers on the board and the vast majority are very concerned and don't think government is doing enough.

Tell John Healey: don’t put plane profits before planet

I really hope Andy Burnham's team reads this and agrees to a televised briefing for the nation delivered direct by scientists and other experts.

⚠️ Last year, only 16% of councillors were elected with majority support. One councillor won with just 18.9% of the vote. This trend is not going anywhere - and tomorrow will prove it. First Past the Post has had its day. It's time for change.

Make Votes Matter @makevotesmatter.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
When Viktor Orbán changed Hungary's voting system - making it easier for the biggest party to win supermajorities with a minority of votes - it was understandably criticised as authoritarian. So why is it that in the UK we accept an even more disproportional system as the norm?

Our MP Robbie Moore refuses to support the CAN Bill and gives reasons which are simply not supported by the evidence. My Climate Action Ilkley colleague busts the myths in this great article www.theilkleyjournal.co.uk/p/debunking-... @johnmarsham.bsky.social @beckymalby.bsky.social

The key provisions of the #CANBill are needed if the UK is to be honest about what we are doing for climate and nature.

Conservative Leader admits our voting system facilitates 'a scandal' of a landsllde victory on only 34% of the vote. But will she support Proportional Representation? Please sign the letter and ask her.

I've long listened to the BBC's @evanhd.bsky.social his Today colleagues& @timharford.ft.com. On climate they peddle soft denialism, not decrying the science but spouting data-free incremental nonsense on cutting emissions. Eg.see comment on Tim Harford's Skint: climateuncensored.com/skint-a-poli...

It’s time for climate populism
As politics turns against net zero, we need to mobilise a genuine mass movement against ecological catastrophe.
