Someone just shared this with me: 1967, 3,000 publicans marching against introducing breath tests for drivers.

Barbara Castle MP got this introduced and speed limits and seatbelts as mInister for transport, and faced the standard opposition.

Yes, but how many of you are still posting there? Most British politicians seem to have active accounts. Stop. Leave. You're all helping to give him the power that he's trying to use against you. Against us.

Great to know one of the world’s biggest social media platforms is run by such a level-headed guy who definitely wouldn’t use his influence to poison our politics or divide the country.

Nothing to worry about at all.

To be clear, what is being proposed here is to axe the main mechanism for getting Britain’s homes insulated - which is by FAR the best way to reduce household energy bills in the long term 🤦‍♂️

The UK has recently been hit by its first ISDS case over a climate policy, sued by investors in the quashed Cumbria coal mine.

Win or lose, taxpayers are on the hook for the likely extortionate costs of legal fees, and potentially compensation.

3 weeks ago, we handed in a petition signed by over fifty-five thousand of you, calling on the Government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights. Following the 75th anniversary, our message is clear - the ECHR is essential for our rights and freedoms, and we must remain in it.

Today we handed in over fifty-five thousand signatures at Downing Street, calling on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights. Leaving it would put us alongside Russia and Belarus. Britain must stand for justice, not isolation.

The Commons is now in recess until 11th November.

Of the 344 divisions held so far this session, 169 would have changed result if seats matched votes. That is, ~49% of the time, opposition MPs represented *more* people but the government won anyway.

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights to keep power in check and protect basic freedoms. That legacy is now under threat. Read our piece on why the ECHR still matters and why defending it means defending Britain’s own values.
