The Government must honour its manifesto commitment to hold a public consultation on the future of the House of Lords. We're asking peers to support a Bill that would kickstart that process. Please sign the letter.

This is pitiful. Allowing the very thing it claims to condemn because it is too cowardly and self-interested to support that which would stop it.

Labour can be hero’s or zeros. They’ll either save democracy or be the enablers to its end. The status quo isn’t an option.

Essential thread.

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects.

The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.
