Should Nigel Farage be able to create 200 life peers after the next election? How will the House of Lords work if a party of government or the official opposition has no - or next to no - representation in the Lords? The House of Lords is unprepared for today's multi-party politics.

“We do have to maintain a bedrock of freedom of speech and of peaceful protest... Otherwise, you don’t have democracy, you’ve locked it up.” Baroness Hale says it plainly. Yet just this week, MPs approved more draconian anti-protest measures. When dissent is suppressed, so is democracy itself.

Voters should have their say on what's going on in their communities - not least the massive, unnecessary local government reorganisation that is being imposed on them by Whitehall.

Young people who begin voting at 16 are more likely to stay voters for life. We can’t wait to see that energy in UK elections 🗳️ #v16 #VotesAt16

Say one thing; do another. Hardly the highest standards in public office we were promised. Then: "because appointments are for life, the second chamber of Parliament has become too big." (2024 election manifesto) Now: create more new peers than the number of hereditary peers you are set to remove.

Votes at 16 is a big step forward. The evidence from Scotland, where 16 and 17-year olds have had the vote since 2014, is that young people engage strongly with democracy and, when they start voting early, they keep on voting as they get older. That can only boost our democracy.

With Parliament now in recess & some MPs head off to the beach, a reminder that - technically - there’s nothing to stop them doing this all year round while still drawing their salary. A job description for MPs would help to set enforceable minimum standards. Find out more 👇 youtu.be/LpcpEdA62Gk

"If you're going to maintain an appointed system, you have to ask 'how do you Johnson-proof it?'" Only 55 peers decided to tackle that question last night, by backing a proposal to give the House of Lords Appointments Commission the power to block unsuitable appointees. 1/3

the old testament if a false book The New Bible Dictionary 1988 Edition,p.305 states: “A FURTHER IMPLICATION IS THAT MOSES WOULD HAVE AN EGYPTIAN EDUCATION, ONE OF THE BEST AVAILABLE IN HIS DAY.” Be that as it may, Pharaoh would never have spoken with him in the language of the slaves - hebrew!
