How to Replace ‘First Past the Post’: Electoral Reform in Action - London
2026-04-01 18:30 - 20:00
Join the Mile End Institute to debate the future of British democracy – and vote at the end on the voting system that YOU prefer!
In 1918, Parliament came within hours of abolishing First Past the Post. The system only survived because the two Houses disagreed on the system that should replace it. With the Bill on the brink of collapse, the question was postponed – a reprieve that has lasted for 107 years.
In a recent YouGov poll, only 23% of respondents backed First Past the Post. But what might replace it? Different countries use a dizzying array of different systems, which are designed to do different things. Some are ‘proportional’, others ‘preferential’. Some would expand the range of parties, while others might shrink them. Do we want our electoral system to give us strong governments or strong parliaments? Do we want more or fewer regional parties, independent candidates, extremist parties or coalitions?
In this event, co-hosted with Unlock Democracy and the Electoral Reform Society, our expert panel will present different electoral systems as used in France, New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands. We will debate their strengths and weaknesses; what they can and can’t achieve; and how they work in practice.
Join us to debate the future of British democracy – and vote at the end on the system that YOU prefer!

Young Workers' Patrol - Exeter
2026-04-18 10:00 - 16:00
A fantastic opportunity has arisen from the TUC Young Organisers Network (YON) to explore Exeter city centre speaking to young workers in unrecognised workplaces around their rights, responsibilities, general job satisfaction, and auditing the workplaces on their legislative compliance and understanding of best support practices for young workers.

The event will be taking place in Exeter on Saturday 18th April 2026.
This is being run to build a UK model of the “LO Summer Patrol” which has successfully run for over 40 years in Norway. The aim is to build a map of unrecognised workplaces across UK cities to support unions within the TUC to maximise trade union membership, tackling current issues affecting the younger generation of workers, and broadening the TUC and affiliated unions understanding of the nature of work in unrecognised workplaces.

We are now looking for volunteers from anyone who is considered a young member within their union interested in supporting us to sign up using the link below or the QR code on the attached leaflet.

Full training and support will be provided in preparation for the event and on the day itself. There are plenty of roles available to get involved and make a difference for trade unionism throughout the UK. If you have any questions, please reach out to SFulton@tuc.org.uk or your regional officer.

We look forward to hearing from you!

In Solidarity,
TUC Young Organisers Network

International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia
2026-05-17
Known as IDAHOBIT for short, this date was chosen as it commemorates the date of the decision to remove homosexuality from classification as a mental illness by the World Health Organisation in 1990. The main purpose of IDAHOBIT is to raise awareness of ongoing discrimination, violence and persecution of LGBT+ people across the world.
Research by Stonewall, the national LGBT charity found that one in five LGBT people have experienced a hate crime because of their sexual orientation in the past year and over half of trans people have been subjected to a hate crime due to their gender identity.
Around a quarter of LGBT people avoid some streets due to safety concerns and 13 per cent have been discriminated against in a bar, restaurant or club venue. Trans people in particular still experience appalling levels of abuse on social media and are on the receiving end of misinformation and direct attacks from TV and print media.

2026-07-04
In 1910 the Women Chainmakers of Cradley Heath fought a successful 10-week dispute to establish the right to a minimum wage for their labour. Each year the Women Chainmakers Festival recognises and celebrates the role of women within the trade union movement and aims to reclaim the often forgotten contribution of women to Britain’s industrial heritage. The family friendly festival usually includes a banner procession, history tent, activities for children, music and speakers.
