Wow! The movement is growing! It’s only a question of when not if.
It was good to see @KentCompass out in Sandwich on Saturday supporting progressive candidate Helen Whitehead @helen4hbayands in this winnable, marginal seat, Great work guys
So cool! @helen4hbayands
That’s progress!
Great to be in Herne Bay today to campaign for @helen4hbayands who is endorsed by @CompassOffice as the progressive candidate best placed to defeat the Tory incumbent. Helen supports our aims for a more equal, democratic and sustainable society.
A General Election has been called for 04-Jul It’s now essential to establish who are the best progressive candidates to represent the local constituencies. Watch this space!
Ex-environment secretary to take role at UK waste firm fined for polluting water Probably best described as dirty money. In fact it just stinks. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
If you haven’t yet registered to vote in the upcoming Local Elections, the deadlines are: In person 23.59 on Monday 17 April By post 17:00 on Tuesday 18 April By proxy 17:00 on Tuesday 25 April More at: canterbury.gov.uk/voting
If you think we’re fighting a General Election: move on - nothing to see here If you’re interested in electing a progressive set of Councillors to run Canterbury, pay attention Local services matter, running them properly matters #ChangeCanterbury
General advice for the #Canterbury elections - If a seat is currently held by Labour, Lib Dems or the Greens it should not be contested as it risks splitting the vote. Campaigning should concentrate on fighting candidates from the ruling Conservative group.
Heron Ward: On 4th May elections will be held for #Canterbury City Council. If you’re fed up with how the council has been run and you want change MELLISH (Lab), PEARCE (Lab), VINCE (Green) will give you a Triple Ward Score!
Please spread this far and wide!
From 4 May 2023 you’ll need to show photo ID when voting in person in some UK elections or referendums. Passport, Photo Driving Licence, Bus Pass for Older or Disabled Person are examples Unsure? Check here: gov.uk/apply-for-phot…
I just signed a @CompassOffice petition: An urgent call on The @UKLabour Party to lead not by control and exclusion, but with pluralism and inclusiveness. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/the-…
Canterbury City Council elections take place next May. In 2019 the Tories had 33% of the vote but gained 59% of the councillors, it doesn’t need to happen again. If you want to get involved and live in the #Canterbury area please follow & send us a message.

Kent Deserves Democracy: New campaign group in East Kent for fair proportional voting (PR) Public Meeting: Astor Theatre, Stanhope Road, Deal on Mon 3rd Oct 2022 from 18:30 Guest speakers: - Gavin Esler - Neal Lawson of Compass - Tom Brake of Unlock Democracy @KentDemocracy
"Labour can say to the public: look, we're going to reform the way votes work, we're going to reform the way politics works, and we're going to make it work for you." @AndyBurnhamGM calls on Labour conference to back Proportional Representation #Labour4PR #Lab22 ✊ 🌹
As tax cuts are announced for the richest in society, it's worth noting that countries with Proportional Representation have lower income inequality than those with First Past the Post!
This year's Labour Conference could make history and adopt Proportional Representation as party policy. Labour MP @DawnButlerBrent is right, countries with PR have greater trust in democracy. With trust in UK democracy at a historic low, we need #EqualVotesNow!
