EXCLUSIVE: Prime Ministerial hopeful backs calls to stop billionaire donors from buying our politics, putting him at odds with Keir Starmer's Government
🧮 80 MPs have now signed the motion to reject the EHRC guidance.

Reform says it has no plans to change abortion laws but payments raise concerns about American anti-abortion groups’ access to a party with rising influence over British politics
Having 4 parties regularly polling over 15% in first past the post is a recipe for disaster. A coalition at the next election is inevitable, but we're also going to have hundreds of deeply unpopular local MPs. MPs will get elected with 3 in 4 having voted against them.
Well let's just say that on FB the comments are now switched off so I can enjoy my wine in peace.... 🍷
