Trump’s superpower isn’t confidence. It’s shamelessness.

Love it or loath it, an independent news broadcaster like the BBC plays an important role in our democracy.
Trump and Farage want to destroy it.
That should worry us all.

🚨 NEW POLL PUTS GREENS IN SECOND, WITH LABOUR FOURTH 🚨
Our voting system is no longer fit for today's politics.
In an election, this sort of result would likely hand Reform UK a majority and shut tens of millions of voices out.
We need a proportional voting system to ensure every voice is heard.

Who does Nigel Farage really work for?
Not Clacton, he’s never there and hardly uses his vote.
But the thought of ANY MP taking a call from a foreign leader to act on their behalf is beyond belief.
This man is finding new depths every day.

The far-right are telling us to turn on each other, all while lining their own pockets.
It’s a dangerous distraction game, stoking hate and division.

Farage isn't a party leader. He’s a CEO, working for his property developer and wealth fund investors.
This isn’t just about Farage. But if we don't fix our democracy, it will be Farage and his donors who profit.

Even a big far-right vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation.
Here in the UK, just one-third of the vote could give Nigel Farage a huge majority of MPs.
Our democracy isn't fit for 21st-century politics. We need Proportional Representation.

Before Farage’s plan to rip the UK out of the ECHR even reached Parliament, 99% of MPs had already heard from their constituents – thanks to thousands of Open Britain supporters.
That pressure mattered. Yesterday, Farage found out he’s on the wrong side of this issue #ECHR #HumanRights #UKPolitics

What was once extremist is now mainstream.
The political spectrum is being pulled right by Farage, Wilders and Trump – and reinforced by leaders who echo their rhetoric instead of rejecting it.
When politicians legitimise hate, democracy weakens.
