Useful link within the article that shows you just how much your MP is raking in while not focusing on their constituency work. Here’s our MP, McVey whose main job seems to be for GB news.
Fab project fr @SkyNews & @tortoise - compiling all publicly avail data on MPs' earnings. More than £17m raked in fr 2nd jobs since 2019: £15.2m to Tory MPs. Top 3 Theresa May (£2.5m), Geoffrey Cox (£2.2m) & Boris Johnson (£1m) who earns £32k an hour. news.sky.com/story/westmins…
It doesn't matter what the PM said at the homeless shelter, it's the fact that someone in his team thought a man worth £730m giving a homeless person a plate of sausages and eggs would be good PR.
You forgot the most important reform of all, P.R.O.P.O.R.T.I.O.N.A.L R.E.P.R.E.S.E.N.T.A.T.I.O.N. for Westminster. #GetPRDone #ProportionalRepresentation
Here's a graph that makes you think. The number of people over 65 in the world is set to double to 1.4bn by 2043 - how will these people be cared for and what will they need? A proper UK industrial strategy would be thinking about this.
I've just signed a petition calling for this manifesto commitment. Will you join me? actionnetwork.org/petitions/keir…
This is big! Labour members just overwhelmingly backed PR 👏👏 Great news - a real sea change! Yet @Keir_Starmer has his fingers in his ears. People are crying out for fresh, progressive politics where votes count & voices are heard. And it’s coming, whether leaders agree or not
💥 BREAKING: Labour Conference has voted to "make a manifesto commitment to Proportional Representation at the next election." We are closer to real change than we have been in decades. Bring on the next steps!
Electoral reform is the precondition of the most important constitutional changes we need in our country. It is the foundation upon we can build a moderate, consensual, evidence-based system from the ruins of pathological know-nothing machismo. There's no more important fight.
The Conservative Party insists first the past the post is the best voting system. So they're using it for their leadership elec..., oh hang on
There are advantages and disadvantages to working from home… but the PM telling people they must add high commuting costs to their already spiralling outgoings, isn’t the clever culture war win that he thinks it is…
Really annoys me this, just because his first instinct when working from home is to skive off and eat cheese and drink coffee all day doesn't mean we're all as lazy and unconscientious as him. theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
It is very easy to be cynical about politicians. But Starmer’s and Rayner’s respective pledges to resign if they are fined for breaking Covid rules seem an unusual example of leaders putting the reputation of their party and colleagues ahead of their own ambitions. They…

Keir Starmer has taken a gamble by promising to resign if he's found to have broken coronavirus laws - will it pay off? | ITV National News
Sometimes politics just blows your mind. Starmer's currently getting heat for a fine he hasn't received, over a party which didn't take place and which he did not lie about. The guy who did receive a fine, for parties which did take place, which he did fucking lie about? Nothing.
Yes, maybe so. If power was more spread around, the whole country would work better. It’s the concentration of power in too few hands in SW1A0AA that makes the whole place dysfunctional.
Quite the result in Somerset. Lib Dems have surged from 21% of the seats to 55% - majority control. sotn.newstatesman.com/2022/05/2022-u…
