If you're considering voting in this years local election registration needs to be done by end of day tomorrow, so make sure you are registered vote.
You don't have to vote if you do register, but you can't vote if you don't register.
They don't let us have much of a say, so best speak up when we do get the chance.

@Gargron @EUCommission @_elena @aral @haubles @europeanspodcast @samvie @tferrer @rstockm Yes, well argued Elena. We should all use Mastodon in particular and the Fediverse more generally. Especially all Europeans.

Just listened to a Labour minister on Radio 4. Quite clear that the Labour Party are terrified of the Greens. #PoliticsUK #GortonAndDenton

Seeing all the latest figures about unemployment in the UK and I'm sat here thinking:
"There are more people in unemployment than there are job vacancies. Does no one else see the disconnect here?"

Two thirds of #Labour members would support a significant change to the UK voting system towards proportional representation. The poll, conducted by Survation, found that 66% of members would back a shift away from first-past-the-post in favour of #PR for future elections. #PoliticsUK #ElectoralReform

Surprisingly #Starmer is correct that retalitory tariffs don't do anybody any good, but backing down isn't the answer!
Rather than pretending Trump can be reasoned with, he should be looking for a strong response that actually benefits the country and its people. If I thought he'd read it I'd send him #CoryDoctorrow stuff on the post American internet.

I once had a person at a particular company that created a lot of online gambling websites and apps, trying to encourage me to apply for marketing jobs at the business. I said no, because I can clearly see the harms the sector causes.

This week the Government finally announced their plans to tackle lack of trust by creating an Ethics & Integrity Commission.
It sounds good on paper, but when you look at the details, it falls well short of what Labour promised in opposition.https://secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/175132/petition/1

The events in Epping are a symptom of a recurring trend within the far right: co-opting the high emotions of local people to whip up hatred. The far right demonise and vilify all migrants, including the other innocent residents at the hotel, creating a climate of fear and hatred locally. Sadly, violence is the result.

It is “unclear” how the Government will deliver its key pledge to recruit 6,500 more teachers by the end of this parliament, MPs have warned.

I don't know why but it still surprises me when people point out an erosion of civil liberies and add "this is happening under a Labour government".
Sure they used to be socialists but they've always been closer to authoritarians than anarchists.

"No one with any sense has ever believed everything that a politician has said. However, we rarely expected them to say something that was glaringly obvious contrary to the truth in a way that was readily apparent to anyone who gave a moment's thought to the issue in question. That, however, is now commonplace."

Because that strategy worked out so fucking well for the Democrats didn't it!
You cannot build your election strategy, let alone your party identity, around "we're your only chance to stop X destroying everything" and not expect a fair chunk of people to come to the conclusion that means the system has failed and voting to preserve it is a pointless endeavor.

Hello fediverse do your thing. The uk government has opened a consultation on the formation of Great British Railways (yes, that big renationalisation of the privatised services). This will replace what is currently in the Grant Shapps plan for rail. Link here, deadline 15 April https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-railway-fit-for-britains-future

Starmer explains there would be no point being PM if he couldn't accept expensive gifts
If you don't give him a pass, he will be forced to resignThe UK’s most charismatic prime minister since Theresa May has addressed concerns that he is a self-centred nob who only got into politics to enrich himself. Sir Keir Starmer spoke to the media outside 10 Downing Street, wearing Gucci loafers...

CW: UK elections
In any actual #democracy, the main opposition party getting 34% of the vote after one of the worst governments in the Western world in the last 70 years would be a terrible result and would be very shaky foundation to claim a mandate to govern alone. In the #UK, it gives you a 2/3 majority and several odes written by mediocre media. #politics #politicsUK #ElectionsUK #labouruk #starmer

Thinking about Sunak stepping out on the door of No 10 at 5.45 on a Friday evening. I'm' also thinking about how the Tories latched on to good people making a noise one a week for the NHS. Maybe we should all make that sort of noise at a specific time until he calls the General Election. #GTTONow #GeneralElection #politicsUK #Mastodon #fediverse

King Charles is getting the hungry children's money.
The UK’s highest-paid benefit claimant is getting a 45% increase in his Universal Credit, whereas unimportant people like doctors and teachers can only be afforded a below-inflation pay rise, and only then under threat of strikes.
