Several MPs have endorsed some recent EDM documents
It is encouraging that several of the Early Day Motions that were set out just before Christmas have been raised up in the first few days since Parliament has reopened. One of the EDM documents was the “Celebrating the birth … Continue reading

Labour Conference adopt Proportional Representation
This week we can focus on the financial statement that was set out by the Government on Friday Morning. Presumably MPs will reflect on that when Parliament reopens after the Labour and Conservative Conferences. Along with the opportunity for us … Continue reading

Ed sets out a lack of confidence in the Prime Minister
Yesterday in the Early Day Motion system Ed Davey set out his view about Boris Johnson. Ed has written several EDMs since the last General Election and he has signed many more. This EDM was co-signed by 10 more Liberal … Continue reading
