I'm juliacushion in the other place - see you over there! 👋

Last December you told the New Statesman "the specific findings of the Assembly will be published in the new year" but this page is yet to be updated: southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/about-the-mayo…

Hi Oliver @SouthYorksMayor! Why haven't the results of the SY climate citizens' assembly (that concluded Dec 2023) been published yet? You seemed so excited about it last year! newstatesman.com/spotlight/sust…

"There's a lot of data we're not getting hold of" - Marissa Heath from Surrey County Council at this morning's @TheBPCoalition devolution webinar. We've written all about fragmented climate data on the blog: mysociety.org/2023/07/04/wha…

I’ve filtered this by highest difference between September and August, also capturing a bunch of MPs who seem to have missed the deadline for the Auguster register but corrected the record for September 👀

Sheet includes: - MP name - MP party - August total donations - September total donations - Sept-Aug difference - Link to MP's interests page on TWFY You can make your own version of this sheet, comparing any variable you like, using @mySociety data! pages.mysociety.org/parl_register_…

Made a spreadsheet comparing Sept & Aug RMFI: - Despite being knocked out of the leadership contest first, Priti Patel reported the most donations in Sept (£175k) - Mel Stride reported the least (£30k) - Robert Jenrick leads on total donations (£255k) 📊#gid=2010864376" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@ElliotBidgood @mySociety Great point Elliot, thanks! We're also interested to see how select committee allocation will affect APPGs - maybe once committee chairs/membership are decided MPs will feel they can make an informed decision on number of APPGs to commit to?

@mySociety Really interesting - turnover & the new rules alone didn't feel like they could account for that so makes sense. Drop also notable compared to 2019 (717 in Nov 2019 before dissolution, 355 in the first post-election register in Feb 2020, 680 by the end of that year).

🚨 519 out of 553 APPGs have disappeared since the general election - leaving just 34 registered groups 🤯 What's going on here? We've got three ideas, but our best guess is that it's probably down to a good old-fashioned admin delay 🤓 youtu.be/6YTqOMZpxtk

Climate groups very well represented among the 34 APPGs that managed to actually meet the deadline for the first APPG register 🥇

The first financial interests register of this Parliament has been published. Julia explains why we should be interested, and how the #WhoFundsThem project is looking into it. This is a ~1 min summary but you can read the full blog post at mysociety.org/2024/08/19/the…

@Stephen_R_Bates @psa_parl Failed State by @Samfr is not exclusively about parliamentary reform but has a pretty big section on it
