Andy Burnham has used bold language on the water industry but we don't know how that will fare with the economic reality he faces - as Labour MPs urge him to go in different directions.

The time has come for proportional representation. Together with cross-party leadership, I have written to Andy Burnham calling on him to commit to rebuilding public trust in politics and bringing in proportional representation before the next general election.

Dear Andy,
“There is nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come, and proportional
representation’s time has come”. This is what you told Labour conference last year – and, as a cross
party group of MPs, we could not agree more.
As you have recognised, we have a responsibility to rebuild the public’s trust in politics. As people
struggle to pay their bills, fight to provide a home for their family, and watch as the world becomes yet
more unstable, too many people have little belief that politicians are working for them. Sadly, 46% of
people “almost never” trust British governments of any colour to place the needs of the nation before
the interests of their own political party. In 1986, this figure was just 12%. This growing
disillusionment is driving division and unrest in our communities.
Specifically, voters now feel there is little connection between the paper they place in a ballot box and
decisions made in Westminster. And they would be right. Almost three quarters of votes did not
directly affect the outcome of the 2024 election, according to the Electoral Reform Society. How can
we ask the public to trust our political system when so often their voice doesn’t count?
Yet there is a remedy for this – one we know you support. Introducing proportional representation can
ensure every vote matters at the next election.
When you enter Downing Street, we call on you to:
• Introduce proportional representation ahead of the next general election: We know you
have committed in recent months to making proportional representation a future Labour
manifesto commitment, but there is no time to lose. If we want to ensure our politics is not
hijacked by those who seek to divide us, rebuilding trust through a more representative voting
system is vital.
• Set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform: We welcome the backing you have
given to a national commission and urge you to set this up swiftly so it can report back to
parliament i…

Less than two months ago, you said you remained committed to proportional representation. You must
make clear as Prime Minister that this remains an immediate priority and is front and centre of your
plans to restore trust in politics.
There is consistent support for electoral reform from a majority of the public. As you set out on your
mission to deliver “the biggest rebalancing of power this country has ever seen”, it’s critical there’s no
delay in making sure proportional representation is part of your agenda.
Yours sincerely,
Ellie Chowns MP, Leader of the Parliamentary Green Party
Lisa Smart MP, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson
Dave Doogan MP, Leader of Scottish National Party in the House of Commons
Liz Saville Roberts MP, Leader of Plaid Cymru in the House of Commons
Sorcha Eastwood MP, Alliance Party

If Palantir’s technology is so useful that the NHS, the MOD, the Met and other depts need it, shouldn’t the British state just build its own version of it? Why would we put something so vital to our national security and our democracy in the hands of a private US company? This makes no sense.

The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching. Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher. That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).
