Parliament may be in recess — but the slaughter in Gaza continues.

David Lammy, every day the UK delays suspending arms to Israel is another day of complicity in genocide.

Words aren't enough. Will you end the exports?

Our Reset Report buff.ly/Pequ543, created in partnership with @compinpolitics.bsky.social, outlines a number of measures that would help achieve a more inclusive, civilised and modern Parliament.

We are the Mother of Parliaments; we should be leading the way on this 🙋

“Lying in politics works. It shouldn’t. But right now, the rewards for deception outweigh the risks. That has to change.”
Jennifer Nadel, Co-Founder, Compassion in Politics

The government has promised to extend the vote to 16/17-year-olds but without AVR many young people won’t actually be able to have their say. It would also help renters, ethnic minority communities, disabled people and others who are disproportionately missing from the register.

We recently added our name to a letter urging the government to introduce Automatic Voter Registration (AVR). This simple change would ensure that everyone who is eligible is automatically added to the electoral roll when they interact with public services.

We were delighted to get sign ups from a raft of MPs including The Speaker of the House, Lindsay Hoyle and former Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

We were delighted to co-host the Great Parliamentary Get Together with Kim Leadbeater, Jo Cox’s sister, to celebrate Jo’s life, work and lasting legacy. The Civllity Pledge, designed with the The Jo Cox Foundation is an opportunity for politicians to commit to the values Jo supported.

Compassion in Politics are honoured to be a part of The Great Get Together inspired by The Jo Cox Foundation.

Jo’s legacy lives on and inspires all of us who are working to make politics better reflect her values.

“Half-hearted U-turns are not enough. Starmer must pivot, reverse cuts to the most vulnerable and prioritise compassion.”
