Fatima lives in a safe seat. Her vote will make no difference to the result of the next general election, so politicians can get away with ignoring her.
Fatima needs her vote to count the same as everyone else's.
Fatima needs Proportional Representation. #ChangeTheVotingSystem

"We already had a referendum on this!"
"Proportional Representation doesn't provide a constituency link!"
"We would elect extremist parties!"

No one would argue with putting in place local action to reduce the transmission of coronavirus.
But announcing measures affecting potentially millions of people late at night on Twitter is a new low for the government’s communications during this crisis.

Last week we posted the below statement to Instagram. Some commenters rightfully called for clarity, so we've pulled together an explanation of our reasoning.

Capitalism produces ecological crisis for the same reason it produces inequality: because the fundamental mechanism of capitalist growth is that capital must extract (from nature and labour) more than it gives in return.

“This is the racial ouroboros our country finds itself locked in, as black Americans relive an endless loop of injustice and white Americans keep revisiting the same performance, a Broadway show that never closes, just goes on hiatus now and then.” -@Tre_John_son

Since Boris Johnson is now so keen that we do not "photo shop" British history, I thought I would take a minute to tell the full, unedited story of that crowning achievement of Britain's past, the Industrial Revolution:

Can I remind the people who are saying that I paint too negative a picture of Bristol in this article of this picture, of a Bristol city councillor from 2001.
You know, I just can't imagine why I felt unwelcome?
And he's still in office...

Today we've unveiled a new commission to review and improve the diversity of London’s public landmarks.
We must commemorate the achievements and diversity of all in our city - and that includes questioning which legacies are being celebrated.

"Statues aren't the mechanism for understanding history...
Statues are about adoration, about saying this was a great man & he did great things. That is not true. He was a slave trader & a murderer."
Brilliant answer by @DavidOlusoga on why statues must fall.

Statues aren’t about history they are about adoration. This man was not great, he was a slave trader and a murderer.
Historian @DavidOlusoga brilliantly explains why BLM protestors were right to tear down the statue of Edward Colston.
