There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Take Big Money Out of Our Politics
British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

What Tan says!!
📊 Labour loses a point for emulating Reform.
📊 Lib Dem’s overtake the Tories.
Starmer will be slated by the MSM anyway, so should:
Push harder to reverse Brexit, rejoin the single market, clamp down on tech, implement press regs and do it all completely unapologetically.
Go hard or get Reform.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.
