‘Grubby horse trading’ in UK government over Honours list

UK constitutional politics has sunk, lower still

Negotiating over the honours list shows the grubby horse-trading that goes on around choosing new Lords

Every new peer has been handed a job-for-life in parliament, which means decades of influence legislating

Spot on @Delphi

Anyone banned from work for 3 months would be fired. Only a employer - the govt in this case - would keep an employee/MP after being banned from work for 90 days.

Food for thought: why isn’t the UK government focusing on soaring grocery prices?

Last week’s news that inflation in food and nonalcoholic drink has reached 19.1% should be setting alarm bells ringing across the government.

Tory ministers should aim to support households and bolster Britain’s often overlooked supply chain

Shut down the UK Ministry of Truth

My name’s Mark and I’m a human rights campaigner. I’ve just found out I was included in a government Mis/Disinformation Report for sharing a petition from the official Parliamentary petitions website

And it’s clear that I’m not the only one.

Coronation’s Big Help Out volunteering project at risk of lack of participants

Volunteering was in “steady decline”, a trend that without government intervention was likely to continue. “You look at levels of volunteering over the last decade and it’s just been relentlessly downhill,” he added. “It’s hard to put a gloss on it.”

Local Elections: England

Unfair, undemocratic & fails to represent the views of voters

There is a better way

Local councils often fail to reflect how people voted – The First Past the Post system throws millions of votes on the scrapheap

In London alone, 90% of wards with more than 1 councillor are represented by just one party, leaving hundreds of thousands of voters without a voice

Just 7% want Boris Johnson’s resignation - do you want them?

The public are sick and tired of political patronage and seeing prime ministers pack the House of Lords with their friends and supporters

It is time to end this squalid, undemocratic practice & replace the bloated Lords with an elected second chamber where the citizens, not ex-prime ministers, decide who shapes the laws we all live under

What is a Citizens’ Assembly?

Firstly, Parliament is not a citizens’ assembly.

Rather than elections, the members of a citizens’ assembly are typically assembled like a jury, where we all have an equal chance of joining

It is still up to elected politicians whether or not to follow the assembly’s recommendations.

Don’t keep calm and carry on

New mood is commonly ascribed to the new national circumstance

Soaring inflation
Unaffordable energy
Eye-popping food bills

People are angry & squarely rejecting the government, its intransigence & parsimony, its unjust policies.
