Starmer, baby, just slip a few new bills under the tree...
- The Climate and Nature Bill…second reading January 24. Please back it and give us a future – a GREEN future!
- Embrace the petition calling for a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation! If you aren’t up to speed with what disinformation is doing to democracies around the world, come to our session on January 21, 8pm, when expert Renee DiResta will show you why we are very seriously bothered. This goes way beyond a bit of social media stupidity. It needs jumping on. Fast.
- Stop handing advantage to Reform by going after the little guy. Tax the rich. They’re begging you to do so!
- Leveson 2 has to happen. Trumpian tactics to stifle free press are coming our way and do you really need reminding of the stranglehold the right wing, offshore billionaires have over our media?
- We can’t go into 2029 elections with first past the post…especially if Reform have Musk’s billions behind them. The APPG on fair elections will give you all the ammo you need to make this long-overdue change to make every vote count.
- While you are at it, please stop with the blithe dismissal of calls to stomp on foreign donations, otherwise we’ll assume Labour, too, has access to a tap. AND you’ll be surrendering the country to the Right. Don’t think it can’t happen here?
- Nobody is happy about the increases in water bills and why should we be anything other than livid? The water companies have been using our money to pay themselves bonuses rather than tackling the leaking infrastructure. If you can nationalise the railways, you can do the same for water. Nobody can do without water and unsanitary conditions create a greater burden for the NHS. Madness to leave it in private (and foreign) hands.
- And finally, Brexit. Come on! Everyone knows it’s a disaster! The UK’s growth prospects are grim without, at the very least, membership of the single market. If you want any kind of economic record to crow about in 2029, you have to deal with the elephant in the room and stop dancing to Reform’s tune. Do you really want to provide continuity to Russia’s destabilisation agenda?
You’ve got a stonking majority. Don’t do an America and hand us over to the broligarchy. Give us hope for a better future. Thank you.
