    Who thought it was a good idea to cover Keir Starmer in glitter? If anything that would make him look more fabulous 🤣.

    But seriously any idea who the protester was? A bitter Momentum supporter?

      The protestor was from a group called People Demand Democracy, which claims to campaign for electoral reform. Their policies include proportional representation and creating a “House of Citizens” in parliament.

      I’ve also seen reports that they are also somehow affiliated with Just Stop Oil. They certainly seem to have the same proclivity for stunts and protests judging by the actions today.

          It’s absolutely critical. For me it takes priority over anything else, we can’t move forward as a modern democratic country without it.
