First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Picture of Kier Starmer at lectern along sides words: "What is becoming increasingly apparent, is the falsehoods that were peddled by Nigel Farage and others at the time of the Brexit referendum; that promise that all you had to do was "leave the EU and immigration will go down'. Then we had the Boris wave where it quadrupled. All you had to do was leave the EU and you'd have 350 million pounds a week for your NHS.' Well it hasn't materialised. All you had to do is leave the EU and all your red tape would be gone'. Tell that to any business that's trying to trade with the EU. Sir Kier Starmer Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. European Movement logo of overlapping Union and European flags in top left.

The benefits didn't materialise. Many lives & businesses were disrupted, opportunities lost. We were estranged from our family. If you've had enough of it & want a brighter future, #JoinTheEuropeanMovement today & help us fight for a return to where we belong: as a full member of the European Union.

From fedoras and guns to crypto and AI Organised crime no longer dominates headlines as it once did but it hasn't gone away, it's just changed

As desperate Labour rakes over Nigel Farage's schooldays, we reveal the KGB's toxic propaganda machine and the hard-Left past Sir Keir would rather we all forgot Fact-Based CountersKeir Starmer’s professional record is that of a mainstream constitutional lawyer and public prosecutor: he served as Director of Public Prosecutions and Head of the Crown Prosecut.....

The Mail try to smear Starmer to deflect from Farage's schooldays.
