Last night I attended an event in Westminster called 'The Lords work in mysterious ways?' which was about House of Lords reform. I thought I’d share some headlines from it.. davidjubb.blog/2024/11/28/oh-…

🗣️@J_D_Robertson from @SortitionNow argues that when it comes to an elected Lords, "The public aren’t going to stand for another set of elected politicians to hold the first set to account."

And this is the Jury for Joy if you've not heard about it before...a citizens' jury embedded into an arts organisation which leads its programme and decision-making... youtube.com/watch?v=q62SsT…

I am actually enjoying how desperate and breathless the advertising is becoming on this website. Sign of a failing business model. If you poison the water hole, people bugger off. In process of migrating to @davidjubb.bsky.social and also @citizensinpower.bsky.social

As a trustee I was so proud of @battersea_arts and @martinlinton who was a key driver of BAC's creation and continued survival. Martin's role was celebrated at BAC's amazing 50th birthday party. So many told him 'BAC is here because of you' - what a legacy! Now it's (y)our turn

@SaraLApps @battersea_arts @martinlinton @TarekIskander1 @MarshadeCordova @wandbc @rexosborn @BeeKemiA @WandsworthMayor @KateCStock @CllrSimonHogg Always remember Martin telling story of getting keys from council offices, heading up to Lavender Hill to unlock, finding a mothballed building. He said it was as if the council had just left building, everything there intact. He truly was the founder of Battersea Arts Centre ❤️

Cannot wait to attend Tom’s Bar @battersea_arts ❤️ Hope the one and only Tom Cameron will be designing his own bar sign 😍 Well done to team for fantastic 50th birthday. Magic to see so many old friends including legend that is Mo - longest ever serving Battersea team member 🥹❤️

Right now the government is working to remove the hereditary Lords, but the people of the UK deserve a second parliamentary chamber that properly reflects the country. If you want to be part of the movement for a House of Citizens, sign the petition now: 858.org.uk/house-of-citiz…

People defending hereditary peers in the House of Lords are characterising their abolition as a choice between the hereditary principle and more life peers appointed by Prime Minister of the day. It’s a false choice. The choice should be between all peers and a House of Citizens

Time to make policies. Over 50 audience proposals are collated into 3 key policy by the Policy Team of @RBKC councillors, staff, @HomeStartWKCHF & local residents #LTRBKC #LegislativeTheatre
