    This is why I believe constitutional politics should be taught in school. _Not_ Party politics, but how the instructions of government work, what the traditions are and why they're important to the function of good governance. We've had Religious Education for decades, time for Political Education to be added to the curriculum.

      In addition, abolishing the treason laws and the death penalty was also a very big mistake, as this is how we are in our current situation - I absolutely believe in the immediate restoration of capital punishment, which needs to be extended to offences like sexual offences involving any child (under the age of 21) and of drug trafficking, drug dealing and drug smuggling, which must carry an automatic death penalty on conviction by a court - we also need to restore the legal age of consent and of majority back to 21 for everything, as part of a wider return to traditional values in every area of our society, as an immediate return to tradition is the only way out of our current situation

    As an Irish Catholic Patriot living 21 years in the U.K., I agree with David’s comments, as I’ve witnessed what he refers to as being reality, both here in Manchester and in the U.K. generally - I see similar also happening in my native Republic of Ireland, where I have extended family in Rural Ireland - we have to learn the lessons from the mistakes of our past and we ignore the lessons of our history at our peril

    Part of the problem is students are no longer given any real education on the English constitution. If you read figures from the past they often seemed to exhibit a knowledge and admiration for britains constitutional history; even to the point of being perhaps overly romantic about it. Now there is no knowledge, no respect and absolutely no romance for what came before. But there would be huge scope for a self consciously revolutionary party which backed genuine “conservatism” in the sense of resurrecting the Nation, it’s history & it’s people.

      Er, no. That's the point DS is trying to make. Parliament has been supplanted by rule by managerial technocrats. That was deliberate policy by the Blair Terror. he sought to totally undermine Parliament as it frustrated his ambitions. Remember, Blair and his cronies started out as Marxists. What's more, Parliament never ever was there to 'rule' us. The Crown rules. Parliament is the people's forum with the Crown - 'The Crown in Parliament'. And Parliament has a duel legitimacy. One it enables the Crown to raise taxes and two, for the benefit of the free self-sovereign citizen, it holds the executive to account.
      Blair's actions corrupted Parliament.

      I believe the reverse. It is the lack of a genuine parliament that is at the root of the problem. It is the constitutional erosion of the parliamentary system that allows people like Blair to thrive in the first place - not the other way round. That is why reclaiming national soverignty is the essential first step in putting things right.

      @@kubhlaikhan2015 Exactly. And it is not a 'belief'. It is a fact. You and I are 'sovereign' in ourselves. Parliament is supposed to reflect that sovereignty. We - it and us, and The Crown - are subject to the law, which is common law. Parliament is empowered to make other laws - statutory law, rules really, with which we will generally agree to go along with, but which can be changed by successor parliaments. But The Common Law is immutable and eternal; its philosophy being discovered by legal argument creating precedent.

    My issue with the approach to the reformed House of Lords is it merely focuses on change, not whether the change itself is necessary or preferable.
    One of their arguments, for instance, is that many members of the Lord's were unelected.
    Not incompetent. Not inefficient. Just not subject to the same popularity votes that brought about Liz Truss or Joe Biden (because the public is so hard to sway, and always conducts research on their candidates based on informed decisions).
    IMO one of its majour flaws is the unregulated power of the PM to appoint, well, anyone, without limit (think the Billionaire granted a peerage merely based on his monetary contributions to the conservative party).
    Solution? Revoke or limit the number of appointments - leaving it primarily to the Independent Appointments Commission, approved by the King.
    We need only glance at Senates across the developed world to understand that what we have is special. And at the very least, noble in professional approach.
    We do not need a House of Commons for life. We need the House of Lords. Individuals of metritable backgrounds, of respectable history and standing. Informed in their approach and thorough in their decisions. As government should be by default.
    Merely comparing debates from one chamber to the other weighs GREATLY in favour of the Upper House. Howcome? They don't act like children, alongside a myriad of other reasons.

    "Scottish malice". This has been an abiding feature of our polity for decades, simply because Scotland sees itself as an underdog, even a victim, of England's dominance. In many ways, it's a very natural human thing. On a smaller scale, Wales' hostility towards England, as exemplified recently by the now crazed Michael Sheen, shares the same resentful roots. It accounts for the perpetual whingeing and whining that has been heard in the House of Commons for almost 300 years. And then devolution happened, and it got infinitely worse.

      Always remember that Johnson was too weak to implement any of the many reports commissioned just after the 2029 election. Just remember he kicked Article 16 into the long grass (which led to WF and de facto dynamic alignment with Brussels) and told Frost his excellent plan for efficiently ridding ourselves of stifling and absurd EU regs couldn't be done as all Parliamentary time had been allocated to Net Zero.

Mr Starkey is indeed correct when he says that when it is clear a system isn't working, the modern day answer is simply to create yet a other layer of unwanted, and ineffective bureauocracy, to cover it up, hence the ever increasing number of Civil Servants, in Whitehall.

    This might be a stupid remark, but I'll take the risk. Listening to David I learn a lot about England and its complexity of government. Here in The Netherlands we had several decades without any government and it does not seem to make a difference. No one here talks about 'power' , we talk about the majority. In our country we seem to all have an absolute opinion on absolutely everything and most votes count. Rather prozaic really. So, sometimes it feels to me like the English live in some kind of epic story with kings and heros and villains and grails and swords. Some magical higher purpose than just regulating daily things..... Sorry if it does not make sense.

    With bills being passed without amendment or second thought legeslation will be so much worse as Lords amendments are overwhelmingly accepted by the government now because they fix problems.

    in 2000 councils were changed into enabling authorities, which also saw the end of municipal housing, so valued since the 1930s. When George Osborne created another tier in local government, metro mayors, who have been given huge government funding. This saw council structures created in 1972, to sail along with the other layers of governance

    I am left wondering how far statutory regulators permeate change in UK society. I parked my vehicle to work on a vicar’s house. I arrived at 3.30pm and the parking charges ran to 8pm. I scratched out the date on the parking voucher with other details and forgot to write in my car registration details. I was later in the day given a parking ticket and I appealed with a letter from the vicar stating the time I had arrived, that he had given me the voucher, and, that I left after 8pm. The point being that there was no scam of using one one voucher for more than one vehicle. Furthermore I had never had any parking or driving offence against me.
    My appeal was denied and I was amazed and confounded by the intolerance exhibited through the decision where regulations were applied seemingly without remorse. When I grew up there was a level of tolerance but not now. Regulations seem to be the growing measure of a person and regulations are the stick to beat a person with. The political parties champion their own party but who is championing decent people wanting to live in the old Conservative and old Labour world of values within a tolerant society run for all of the people?

    The annoying tries to round the parlament (on Brexit agreemnets, on covid etc) should be taken seriously. You might get a sour goverment and end up deadlocked.
    Look at local politics where different parties have to co-operate and where one goes for pragmatic sollutions not only politcal spinn. Today the UK are a warning to fellow democracies, no ideal long since. The two party imaginary war (also in teh USa due to a two party systemthere) makes everybody into an idiot mainly trying to hate an dblame "the other side/party". Brings out the worst :(

    On a seperate note - the parliament of just 30 odd years ago was inclusive of genuine and sincere people in that a relationship existed between people and their MP from blue collar industry - by way of trade unions.
    My point is that regardless of whether trade unions are essential or not, some trust of some kind or affinity existed.
    Now, you have a sense that all of parliament is owned and operated by another affinity that is clearly to meaningful extent capitalist.
    Therefore, you clearly are entitled to slate Brown, and i have not heard of his proposals, let alone read them, yet, i recognise Brown as humane and genuine in the sense that he is not a man consumed by money or being president of the EU and more the right sort of person in the wrong sort of administration insofar as New Labour was about distortion fundamentally and i think Brown would have been more conducive to John Smith being PM.
    Also, it is to your point on the burearucracy that sees perpetual consultancy - the cycle that creates an unsafe NHS and i think all the tax credits and welfare introductions largely under Brown probably could and should be replaced with Prifessor Guy Standings model and just off the top of my head - a job recently advertised for a postman or woman with Royal Mail for 30 hours contract over 6 days i think.
    The wages were around £14 hour and other jobs in supermarkets offer a range of hours from 10 week to maybe 35 hours and all on £12 hour or so.
    My point is these basic jobs are not presented to unemploted jobseekers at the job centre - in fact they are advertised by 'third parties' that see applications not responded to and my question is why are basic jobs such as i describe being managed by obscure entities when people at job centres get offered courses that lead to nothing?
    Therefore, regardless of Browns imperfections - he is marginally more credible than most and massively more humane than many and i think his wife is attractive and i think nobody has even heard of Osborne or Cameron who are existing with nothing but money and status and lust for more kudos within their social set and i think Tony Benn is missed greatly and Edwina Currie and John Redwood is coherent even if you dusagree with him and you use the word disenchantment and i will use the word apathy - i think possibly Poland had 73% turnout recently or 83% and apparently it was 40% odd before that and i sense peacefully Ghandi may come back en vogue as people at first reject an insurrection and so Sunak may have 100 million or something family fortune and maybe more and does that matter?
    Yes, because it follows that i then ask - why is a man with hundreds of millions interested in running the country full of peasants?
    And so there are no policemen or firemen or army or fa tory or unemployed or carers or anyone in positions of power and influence because Orwell told us - to paraphrase in his literature - 'it did not escaoe my attention - anyone in government or influencial position with a brain is deemed a problem' - he expressed that in his literature, that sentiment is true and the country is histile to NHS and police whistleblowers and journalists and it is one or the other - either we are humane or we are all self-interested hypocrites out for another few grand oay rise and promotion.
    When we are told the 'system' is defunct - that can only mean people are in the system that actively enforce such or are ignorant of being used by those in the clique and that is where to my mind women and people of colour more so have been severely manipulated to keep the system in tack and it is crumbling as you cite rightly.

    DS can be so endearing when he steps out of his impressive history knowledge. Dear David, the wood of your chair is part of the normal carbon balance on the surface of this planet. The problem lies in the enormous amount of carbon dug out from under the surface and thrown into the mix. Loads of carbon normally stored and locked up in nature is freed and turned into gasses in an alarming rate, ever since the invention of machines that run on burning wood, peat, coal, petrol, gaz. Decarbonisation means generating energy from other sources than carbon, to make engines run. The amount of carbon released in the atmosphere because of our use of engines, is threatening conditions that enable life on earth. Just 2 degrees temperature rise of the ocean and gone is all the coral reef together with every form of life depending on it.
