I voted against £2 billion of disability benefit cuts last night. Deep cuts to an already broken system will see more families forced into hardship. Disabled people in Poole and across the UK deserve a welfare state rooted in fairness. I'll keep speaking up for Labour values

The re-introduction of Supplementary Vote for mayoral elections is a huge step in the right direction. It does away with the insane Conservative-backed measure that allowed mayors to be elected on 8%(!) of the public supporting them. ALL elections in Britain next!

WE DID IT!!! The government has just announced that it´s scrapping FPTP for mayoral elections. In May, this absurd system resulted in some Mayors being elected on as little as 25% of the vote. This is a victory of communities around the country. But it's just the beginning...

Scrapping First Past the Post for Mayors is just the start. “By committing to changing this, the Government has taken a step in the right direction, but FPTP is just as flawed when it comes to general elections."

Two types of Tolpuddle Festival-goers: Planners: grab their programme, trawl through the website weeks in advance, and schedule out every moment of their time on site. Improvisers: move through the festival, duck their heads in to marquees and take in the vibe. Which are you?

Hurrah! Labour has reintroduced Supplementary Vote System which Tories abolished for mayoral elections. Will have big impact on 2026 Sussex mayoral election. Never mind dodgy bar charts, will progressive bloc, Labour, Lib-Dems, Greens call for 2nd vote transfers to each other?

Very important stuff here. The link between landlordism and the difficulties faced by young musicians is one I'm often making to my students.

There’s a drought in the north-west after the driest spring since 1893. Decades of political failure left us exposed to climate breakdown impacts like this. Water privatisation led to reservoirs sold off, infrastructure neglected & dividends extracted. We need public
