AFTER two years work Gordon Brown has delivered his report from the Commission on the UK’s Future. For the few who were aware that it existed, there was little or no information about what was happening and how they could submit their ideas to it.
The report has finally been launched after a few weeks of to-ing and fro-ing in the media raising questions about one of its more eye-catching proposals: would the House of Lords be abolished, and would it be a first term commitment or be delayed to sometime in the future?
On the same day different news outlets were claiming that Keir Starmer had committed himself to a first term change and others saying that he had not given that commitment.
