Our chief executive was on the Today programme the weekend after the election to discuss the results - First Past the Post means people simply don't get what they vote for.
One for designers and campaigners in London: an event on the intersection of design and social movements at @space4coop next Wednesday. I'll be there representing @SocialChangeAg. Hope to see some of you there.
Design plays a key role in our every day lives & as we face global political insecurity & environmental catastrophe, what role can designers play in building strong social movements? Join the discussion & hear it straight from our speakers @GemCopeland @we_are_adg @evening_class
Proud to be voting Keir Starmer as first preference for Labour leader. #KeirForLeader #AnotherFutureIsPossible
So many family members and friends at home on Teesside who used to vote Labour, voted leave and voted to bring our red wall down in 2019 tell me they would vote Labour again for @Keir_Starmer. Don’t stereotype our voters. They want credibility & trust - they see it in Keir.
"We've had some gritty conversations; non of them said, 'but you're a Londoner!' " @Keir_Starmer says his pro-EU, metropolitan background won't stop him from winning back NW working class votes
I couldn’t agree more. #CorbynOut

So it turns out that 1970s revolutionary socialism packaged in a mild mannered spokesperson in Jeremy Corbyn has been rejected by the electorate.
Powerful.
One of the worst nights in A&E It’s not safe It’s not fair Not fair on patients And it’s not fair on staff Im so angry because this hasn’t ‘just happened’ Result of decisions by politicians, who ignored warnings They need to take responsibility Start taking this seriously
This is a really important movement to tackle lack of diversity in the charity sector. Please pledge to do what you can to get more young people onto charity boards.
One in 12 trustees are named either John or David. Fewer than 3% of trustees are under 30. It’s no secret that board diversity is an issue. We are #YoungTrustees. We are building a movement and taking holistic action to combat this. Join us -> youngtrusteesmovement.org/make-a-pledge/
Good decisions require a diversity of thought, yet less than 3% of Charity Trustees are under 30. I’m part of the @youngtrustees movement on a mission to change this. Make a pledge to join us here >>> ctt.ec/94tTM+
My favourite talk of the day from Cathy Ferrier. What if we could move some of those billions to the left? The dev sector needs to rethink its approach to funding, to business and to capital markets #funding4dev
This is really encouraging news.
Millions work long hours, while others don’t get the regular hours they need. Something must change. I’d like to thank Lord Skidelsky for his report which we will study & draw on when looking at how to reduce the typical working week without loss of pay. progressiveeconomyforum.com/wp-content/upl…

"The Labour Party’s position on electoral reform is unsustainable - I would go as far as to say contemptible. We need Proportional Representation. It is remarkable to have a progressive movement that is supporting First Past the Post" - Yanis Varoufakis #ChangeTheVotingSystem
