Whoever replaces Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street needs to hear the message loud and clear:
The UK's democracy is in crisis. A fair, proportional voting system isn't a "nice to have".
It's a priority and we need it now.

Several Ukrainian electrical substations vital for nuclear safety were affected by widespread military activity this morning, Director General @rafaelmgrossi said.
ChNPP lost all off-site power and power lines to other NPPs were also impacted.
“The IAEA is actively following developments in order to assess impact on nuclear safety,” DG Grossi added.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Russia did it. Russian strikes damaged the substations. Perpetrator should be named.

Five parties on 15% or more. This is unprecedented in UK politics.
What it shows:
✅ No single party can speak for the whole country.
✅ Voters want real choice - not the lesser evil.
✅ British society has moved on from the two-party era. Now our voting system must follow.
Westminster Voting Intention:
REF: 26% (-1)
LAB: 20% (=)
CON: 17% (=)
LDM: 15% (-1)
GRN: 15% (+2)

Lib Dem voters also see the environment as an important electoral issue.
Asked for the top reasons for voting for the party - a third of Lib Dem voters select at least one environmental issue, making it the biggest single driver of votes to the party.

Meet the Reform UK councillor who is now the cabinet member for environment at Nottinghamshire County Council.
He says man-made climate change is a "hoax" and says he will do everything in his power to end the net-zero "suicide."

Gaza has become the deadliest place in the world to be a child.
The humanitarian zone should be a refuge but it is under fire.
Israel needs to allow full and safe aid access into and across Gaza.
We need a ceasefire now.

Laura Kuenssberg has now lost all credibility with her tweet last night about #LondonMayoralElection saying it was 'clear the race is much closer than some polls had suggested'. We know she's a Tory but to help them spread their unfound rumours is a step too far. Sack her.
Thank you to @ForrestMark for many hours of great radio over the last five years @ScalaRadio . Mark is one of Britain's best broadcasters.
