  1. #UK Mega-donors overseas are already trying to get around the £100,000 cap

    If we are serious about protecting our #democracy, the rules cannot be this easy to sidestep.

    The solution is simple. We need a #donation cap for all donors, regardless of where they live.

  2. The most #dishonest campaign in modern #British #political history promised that Brexit would save £350 million a week.

    Instead:

    - #Brexit is now costing this country £250 million every single day
    - That is why we have the highest #tax burden in 70 years
    - That is why families face sky-high #bills
    - That is why we remain trapped in a #CostOfLiving crisis

  8. #Britain's #democracy is in crisis

    Our First Past the Post #voting system increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants.

    This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for a fair system where every vote counts.

    It's time for Proportional Representation. #PRnow

  9. New political funding rules sneak in

    The Tory govt passed a statutory instrument that increases amount of money an individual can donate to a party without declaring who donated it, from £7,500 to £11,180

    The same statutory law increased election spending cap by 80%, from £19.5m to £35m - the amount party HQs can spend.

    Stop the UK government’s plans that could lock millions out of the polling station


    Possession of photo ID is uneven in the UK, with those short on time and money less likely to have the required paperwork. This law will make it harder for those already having a tough time to have their say.

    The government trialled this policy ID during the 2018 and 2019 English local elections in a handful of affluent local authorities. Even with public information campaigns, over 1,000 voters were refused a ballot for not having the right paperwork. The government now want to roll out this scheme to everyone for the 2023 local elections.

    There is a reason groups as wide ranging as the Salvation Army to Stonewall, Age UK and racial equality organisations oppose these plans: they will impact some people more than others and pull up the drawbridge to people across the country.
