The latest proposals for boundary changes have been published. Constituency boundaries are not a trivial concern, but hailing these changes as a solution to the unfairness in our political system is to overlook some of the most serious issues plaguing our politics.

The govermment has published their trade white paper and we're worried - there’s no new role for Parliament, the devolved legislatures or the public, but a seat at the table for big business.

The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, more commonly known as the Repeal Bill, has passed its first major test in the parliamentary process at its Second Reading. The bill will be one of the most constitutionally transformative pieces of legislation to emerge since Brexit and aims to establish legal consistency when the UK has left the EU.

The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, more commonly known as the Repeal Bill, is the first major piece of Brexit legislation to go before Parliament. The bill proposes to hand sweeping powers to ministers to allow them to make changes to laws.

This week Barry Sheerman became the first sitting MP to sign up to UK’s the statutory lobbying register, as the result of his role as the Chairman of Policy Connect. The idea that MPs can run organisations that undertake lobbying activity sits uncomfortably, and serious questions must be asked about what this says about the state of lobbying regulation in the UK.

Yesterday the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill (or as we have come to know it “the Repeal Bill”) was published. This is one of the most broad and constitutionally significant bills to go through Parliament and will have massive ramifications for us all, and future generations. We’re still going through the fine print but here are our initial thoughts.

Residents’ concerns were ignored time and time again by the very people that were elected to represent them.

Today is the first anniversary since people went to the ballot boxes to vote on the future of the UK in the EU. One year on, many of the issues and concerns that emerged in the immediate days and weeks following the referendum result have still not been addressed. What happened, and how can we make sure the issues do not happen again?
