“If the foundations of our democratic system are left to rot, we will all suffer. Labour, as the party of democratic reform, has a responsibility to lead this conversation.”

I am pleased the government has recognised the need for electoral reform by removing first-past-the-post in mayoral elections. We should expect the same strong representative standards for our MPs

“Now Labour is in government it’s time to change the system at home and ensure that every vote counts so that no woman will ever say again, ‘my vote doesn’t make any difference’.”

"Numerous MPs across parties called for a move to PR, or a National Commission on Electoral Reform, arguing FPTP is unfit for a multi-party political landscape.

“In Monday’s debate, Labour MPs were among many calling for a national commission on electoral reform…
The PM is pulled from pillar to post and his in-tray is no doubt full; still, this should be near the top of it.”

Inequality in Britain is rampant, writes @pollytoynbee, and our electoral system helped it.
Our new research paper, 'Lifting the Lid', links our fragmenting voting system to mass regional deprivation, and regional deprivation to the all-powerful nature of FPTP.

I’m incredibly grateful to @LancsPolice & my Parliamentary Security team for their swift action in intercepting a threat to me at my Jobs Fair in Blackpool. The individual was quickly arrested. As the local MP, I will not be intimidated or deterred by far-right threats.
