Union Settlement’s Post

Two decades Tory voter, not any more Thanks to Mr Greg Hands failure to even respond to constituents' emails for last two years. https://lnkd.in/dSv7g_DC Saving our buses from Mayor Khan’s cuts - Mr Hands appealing to commuters? The floor-by-floor refurbishment of Charing Cross Hospital - planned closing 2013 by Conservatives? Support for Greg’s tough approach on crime and policing = false claims of SAO failure to comply (Sotello private trust), council repeated contemptor scot-free Fighting Labour’s proposed 20% tax on parents at independent schools? Independent schools can afford it (some are charities that are given tax-payers money e.g THE ORATORY SCHOOL) The need to reopen Hammersmith Bridge to buses, emergency vehicles and cars - perhaps.

Any individual’s wealth is dependent on the resources, effort, and cooperation of the society that surrounds them. Yet today, even though multibillionaires make their fortunes using the resources of a broader society—profiting off customers, employees, and public infrastructure; protected by government regulation and international accords—they are able to make unilateral decisions that shape society according to their desires, without that same society having much input at all. https://lnkd.in/gQh6DScu

Please support if you can and are willing, every penny counts to go up against established parties. https://gofund.me/392f8c2c #Erewash My THIRD pledge is to work to change parliamentary conventions The political system in the UK is not what individuals think. It is distorted by a convention that even on an item of national importance, if you write to an MP that is not your constituency MP you get a response that includes something like "There is a strict parliamentary rule that MPs can only help their own constituents." In addition, it is further distorted by the "Whip" & "3-line Whip" https://lnkd.in/e6-W7Pgg Party MPs get messaged all the time - with the party's view, they can not say what they think, every interview is monitored. We have a system of "The Stepford Wives" rather than true representation. The #infectedbloodinquiry #postofficeinquiry #postofficescandal were all affected by this convention, individual MPs, were getting messages, but those that took an interest did not see other items, even when people knew they were taking a lead. So I want the convention changes, that you can EMAIL any MP so long as you copy your own in. That way these scandals will be heard of quickly, and hopefully resolved.

Have you heard that bail reform is causing crime across the US? In the 2022 election cycle, many government officials, media outlets and politicians claimed that bail reform (and orgs like The Bail Project) were responsible for rising violence and crimes. Some candidates actually won elections on this platform (see: Barnes v. Johnson for Senate in Wisconsin). Expect this again in 2024. The problem? It's simply not true. In a new comprehensive study comparing 33 cities across the U.S., the Brennan Center found that there was no statistically significant relationship between bail reform and crime rates. You can read the full study is here: https://lnkd.in/ggJmVRVa At The Bail Project, we know firsthand the devastating impact that cash bail has on people's lives. You can support our work by stopping the misinformation about bail reform and giving directly at https://lnkd.in/g-bGB-8p so we can get more people home.

The debate about open primaries may soon occur in the halls of Congress. A group of bipartisan lawmakers last month introduced the “Let America Vote Act of 2024” to require open primaries for state and federal elections across the country. Notably, this federal bill does not require the controversial use of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). Open primaries and RCV are two very different things. https://lnkd.in/gQEQ8ZJ9

It's time to take action! It is time for change. The Keeping All Students Act would not only ban seclusion, prone restraint, and supine restraint but also it would provide funding for training school staff in better approaches. https://lnkd.in/e7nKBA68 #endseclusion
