Great morning with @GrahamAllenMPX sharing how deliberative approaches can unlock political deadlocks, giving evidence to @francescrook Commission on Political Power. Now is the moment to make #CitizensAssemblies & similar processes a normal, everyday part of our politics!

Check out CEE Bill Alliance. We have just written an open letter to the Prime Minister—making the case for the UK Government to urgently adopt the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill ceebill.uk/sign-up?recruiter…

I'm proud to sign this letter to @BorisJohnson urging him to back the #CEEbill
It offers the last, best opportunity to get real on the climate-nature crisis—but we need your help to make it a top priority for every MP
Take action now—join the Alliance!

Adur and Worthing, a great local authority to work with, and really forward looking in participatory democracy. I'd highly recommend working there.
