‼️ In My Opinion: "We need to change the age of voting to start from 16". This is the view of Dr @HelenPankhurst, women's rights activist & great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst. 🗳She believes it's important 16-year-olds feel included in democracy.

Emotional board meeting last night as we celebrated @BenMcKendrick’s last one (with cake!) Ben is truly irreplaceable and we are all going to miss him so much! Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, the board, MSYP’s past and present, and for the young people of Scotland!

The Met Gala and Local Elections in the same week you say?! Polls are open 7am-10pm for local elections in parts of England this Thursday - but ID commonly carried by young people won't be accepted as voter ID. Think that should change? Sign the petition nus.org.uk/voter-id-petit…

The effect of the Illegal Migration Bill would be to deny a fair hearing and protection to many genuine refugees in need of safety. This would be a clear breach of the Refugee Convention and undermines the UK's longstanding, humanitarian traditions. unhcr.org/uk/uk-immigrat…

In my job, I meet so many young people who are so engaged in our political system and passionate about changing the world for the better, but until things change they will remain at a democratic disadvantage. That’s I back @votesat16 👇🏻 stephenmorgan.org.uk/young-people-i…

Last week, we hosted an APPG at Portcullis House with @TheBodyShopUK to launch our Votes at 16 Manifesto. Martin Prinsloo, Member of Youth Parliament for Essex, has written a blog about the event, and his hope for the change we want to see: bit.ly/3ZsQBU8 #BeSeenBeHeard

Our research found that 67% of young people can’t name a politician that they admire. That’s why last week, we launched our joint Manifesto with @BYCLive calling for better representation of young people in politics. You can check it out 👇 thebodyshop.a.bigcontent.io/v1/static/UK-2…
