What about an independent electoral commission with powers to bring perpetrators of electoral fraud to justice?
And meaningful sanctions?
At the moment, the fines - if enforced - are small change for a party who has just received £9M.

Do we need another impact assessment? There have been so many & the damage quantified every time has been enormous. A Brexit inquiry looking at how the referendum & its aftermath was handled might have more value.

But agree. Aim higher. The global situation requires more urgent close cooperation.

It would be far braver & more honest if the Labour govt took on liar in chief Farage, rather than those who pointed out from the start what a calamity Brexit was.

We might even “trust Parliament” more if honesty was finally allowed at the heart of this debate.

At 82 nb I have decided to stop counting until 2100.
Perhaps not - technology, language, politics and climate are all starting to challenge.
Instead I’ll make 2026 last for at least 40 months exactly where I am now - frozen in today’s good life

Particularly chuffed that we've made a T-shirt and tote bag based on Roy Jenkins' 1959 pamphlet The Labour Case (we're assuming this has not been done before)

#Putin’s press secretary on Sunday praised president Trump’s controversial new National Security Strategy as largely in line with Russia’s view of the world. Moscow's public acknowledgement underlines how much cozier their relationship has become since Trump returned to office earlier this year. /2
