I see reports that the former British banker, and whistleblower, Simon Andriesz, 57, has "committed suicide." Andriesz, 57, exposed U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s past links to Jeffrey Epstein, including emails in 2018 about a start-up business they planned.

There's a credible proposal for the design of a national commission on electoral reform already waiting on the shelf...

What would a national commission look like that met these design requirements? In fact, a cross-party group of MPs - the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections - published a very credible proposal last year. This involved a tripartite structure: an independent commission of seven members who would steer the overall process; an expert panel who would provide "politically impartial advice and evidence"; and a voters' forum -a citizens' assembly of around 100 members, who would hear the options, deliberate in depth, and make recommendations.
