“PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW: Quick Social Media Blast!
Momentum is growing on the Family Farms Tax - would you mind taking a second to help us?
As a direct result of Farmers to Action Days of Action on 9 and 10 Jan, supermarket Morrisons came out against the tax - now followed by Tesco, Asda, Lidl, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Boots. This weekend, farmers will be out around the UK engaging with tractors, banners, speeches and leafletting.
Our pressure is building! Will you please help us by sharing and tagging MPs/councillors AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS?
Step 1: Please LIKE and SHARE Together's post:
Step 2: Get ready to tag in your MP and local councillors
Take a second to find your MP / councillors on social media if you need to, so you know who to tag.
This list of MPs' Twitter handles is from 2020 but may help if your MP has not changed since then.
Not all MPs / councillors are on social media but many are.
Step 3: In the comments on our post, tag your MP and local councillors if possible
For example, you could add a comment like:
Do you support farmers @jeremycorbynmp?
IF YOU ARE READING THIS LATER, DON'T WORRY - JUST DO THE ABOVE WHEN YOU CAN! IT ALL HELPS - THANK YOU!
Assisted Dying Bill back in Parliament - please sign & share petition for referendum
The Assisted Dying Bill is back in Parliament at committee stage, and no matter what you think of the principle, the latest shenanigans around the Bill can give no-one confidence that proper scrutiny will be applied. Jonathan Engler's piece "Why is the UK government so desperate to rush through its "assisted dying" bill?" explains the latest well.
We believe this decision is too big for MPs and a referendum is appropriate AFTER full public debate - please sign and share the new petition HERE if you agree - and our posts on Twitter and Facebook too.
