Big news from Labour Conference: the PM has announced the government's plan to scrap first past the post. Seats that match votes would change British politics for good, but only if it happens. I've added my name. Join me? action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/201578/...

The PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.
We've heard promises before. I've signed to make sure this one is kept. It takes 30 seconds

This is not Regulation - Water company (£9 billion in value) found guilty of serious breaches of its licence - but let off. The failure was systemic - they failed to “design, construct, operate and maintain wastewater assets appropriately”.

Devolution: send the money and power to the places that know what to do with it. Fine. Except the watchdogs that checked the spending are gone; the Audit Commission scrapped, local papers shut by the hundred, council oversight has been gutted.

I’ve been reading a lot about the end of the Roman republic recently, and the slide of that empire into imperial monarchy. The stamping of the leader’s face on coins, colossal statues and a reworking of the forum. But even Augustus didn’t build himself a ballroom-fortress.
