Good to see our work on the Rycroft Review landing in @POLITICOEurope The risks are not new. The gaps are not unknown The question is no longer what needs to be done. The question is whether the govt is willing to do it The Elections Bill is the test. Time to close the gaps

@GBNEWS Not about Reform. Not about any one party. It’s about whether the system has rules strong enough to stop money distorting politics. Right now, it doesn’t.

5/5 If the Elections Bill fails to act, that is a conscious decision to leave those risks in place. This is about trust in our democracy, and that trust is already fragile. We’ve had the evidence for years. The Rycroft Review confirms it. It’s time to act. #PMQs

1/5 The Rycroft Review confirms what has been clear for years: Foreign interference in UK politics is real. And the system still has gaps. #PMQs

1/2 FOI requests rise as demand for scrutiny grows Proposals to restrict access raise Qs about the UK’s approach to transparency & accountability Next to #ElectionsBill this is a test of governance: Does it build trust or constrain scrutiny when oversight is most needed?
Lucy Fisher@LOS_Fisher

EXC: UK govt is considering a clampdown on FOI, as requests soar Officials are looking at lowering the cost ceiling for processing a request, which is £600 for central govt (24 hours of staff work, at £25 an hour) or £450 for other bodies (18 work hours) as.ft.com/r/645f756c-486…

2/2 So where do these assumptions come from? Who decides what “the public thinks”? And in whose interests? We need far more transparency about how these narratives are shaped. That’s what’s at stake in the #ElectionsBill

1/2 Politics is projecting the wrong reality. Public support for net zero is higher than the narrative suggests. Same story in democracy. 78% feel shut out of decisions, yet reforms are said to reflect what people want. Power is listening to itself. theguardian.com/environment/20…

2/2 We need: - real transparency on who is funding political activity - caps on donations/financial influence - safeguards on lobbying/access to decision-makers - rules that capture not just donations but how money builds political power #ElectionsBill

1/2 A billionaire is funding a political hub in Westminster, offering office space, media platforms and access to political networks. None of it is illegal. #ElectionsBill must fix this because right now money is allowed to build political power. bit.ly/3Pf469S
