    #labour retrenched on some political reforms they proposed - I am disappointed that apart from retiring peers at 80 & removing the last of the hereditaries #lordsReform is a damp squib - I was hoping for term limits and for patronage to be restricted - if not direct election by regions as Gordon Brown proposed

    They currently claim that #votesAt16 have merely been deferred - although in my view if they do not get this done in 2025 it will be too late.

  2. It seems from the #kingsSpeech that #lasbour has chosen to focus on housebuilding and economic growth, but ducked some of the more dramatic reforms - eg #votesAt16 #lordsReform beyond removing hereditary peers

    The measure most are lobbying for on the Labour Left - removing the #twoChildBenefitCap - I guess might be part of the Finance bill so not mentioned specifically now - but if I were one of them I would not hold my breath....

    Starmer prioritising security & caution over radicalism

    ... #votesAt16 ARE in the 2024 manifesto - as is some reform to the #Lords

    That and improved controls on behviour in govt to prevent the BS the #vacuumOfIntegrity inflicted on us all will be good

    Well I note your view - but I predict #PR will not appear in the #labour manifesto, whereas #votesAt16 & #lordsReform might well do
