How broken is FPTP!!

ignore we're 3 1/2 years away from a GE but to have 2 parties on same %age but one gets nearly 1/3rd less representation is the stark reality of UK's demographic deficit.

No wonder voters feel unrepresented and choose binary solutions.

What a joke Union of countries.

Labour hits an all time record low in the polls. Electoral disaster looms. So how’s that Starmer tactic of trying to out-Farage Farage working out?

Here in Scotland, our Housing Emergency Action Plan, backed by £4.9 billion, is delivering 36,000 affordable homes, and bringing thousands of empty homes back into use. This week we’ve also learned Scotland has the UK’s youngest first-time buyers. That’s your SNP Government delivering for you.

🏘️ A tale of two governments: Labour now plans to slash the affordable housing target in London from 35% to 20%, while fewer than 4000 new homes have been completed there in the first hald of this year – well short of the annual target of 88,000.

This isn’t happening in Scotland only because the SNP government holds power

“The bill will enable developers to bulldoze precious wild places, as long as they pay into a fund that may create alternative habitats or green spaces somewhere else. Irreplaceble ecosystems will be sold for cash.”

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot

The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
