Food prices could rise 170% by 2050 due to the climate crisis.
People are already struggling to put food on the table while farmers and workers can't make ends meet.
We need urgent action.

It's time for greater regulation of our political donations system ⌛️
As well as caps on donation size, donors should also be banned from receiving government contracts when the receiving party comes into power

Breaking the link between donations and contracts makes perfect sense if you want to help restore trust in UK politics.
If you're a private company that has donated to the governing party and then you get a government contract subsequently - it stinks.
Neil is right to raise this.
I'm campaigning to ban political donors getting Government contracts.
Big money donors winning taxpayer-funded contracts is a slap in the face to families struggling to afford the basics.

New @Autonomy_Inst research shows that fruit and veg prices could sky-rocket as a result of the climate crisis 📈
As a result, @ZackPolanski is today calling for urgent action to address a food system in crisis 👇

Politics must serve the public.
That’s why I’m calling to ban housing developer donations - their influence works against public good.
I also back Neil’s push to break the link between donors & public contracts.
Government must prioritise living standards over vested power.
Giver and taker firms have donated £47m to political parties over 25 years.
💰 These same companies went on to score £60 BILLION in public contracts since 2015.
This is everything people hate about politics.
Ban firms from getting contracts with Governments they pay to elect.

A growing body of evidence is making the case for action on rent affordability in the private rented sector.
Three important reports published in recent weeks deserve serious attention.

MPs from different parties joined us today as part of our drop-in session for the amendment to the 'Representation of the People Bill' proposed by @NeilForPoole around 'breaking the link' between donors and contractors.
Party donors should not receive government contracts!

🧨 NEW: for anyone who is interested in the ongoing Mandelson issue, but doesn't want to wade through ~600 pages of text...
The Autonomy Institute has put a public database of the Mandelson Files.
You can search the full document dump, read plain-language summaries, and filter by keyword. We've used some agents to surface potential leads, with links to the relevant pieces of the data dump (so full warning that things need to be checked through the handy links to the source material). Free and open to everyone:
