🗣️ Deliberative democracy on assisted dying: “It isn’t too late.”
@rafaelbehr in @guardian today explores @kimleadbeater Assisted Dying Bill and ‘the big opportunity being missed’ to use deliberative democracy.

👇🧵
Great to talk to @rafaelbehr for this piece on how public deliberation could help tackle morally & politically complex decisions, like whether to legislate in support of assisted dying at end of life.
Give it a read! @involveUK

It increasingly feels like there's an opportunity for Labour to turn its missions for government into *national missions* that large sections of the public feel part of.
A short piece on what they've done, why it's not enough, & the change needed:

💫 Big news, at least for me! I’ll be leaving @involveUK to be Director of Organising & Campaigns @AdvocacyAcademy 💫
Sad to be leaving @involveUK, but excited to join @AdvocacyAcademy full-time, as I’ve been a huge fan of for years!

Last year I was commissioned by the UK ministry of housing to write a report on the demand side-drivers of the housing affordability crisis.
After some election-related delays, here it is. (1/13)

✨ Our Citizens' White Paper went live Monday, with lead partners @demos!
It sets out why, when and how govt should put people from different walks of life — across the UK — at the heart of national policy making.

A new government is such a big opportunity to rebuild trust - but it can’t just follow the same formula.
Excellent column by @martinwolf_ @FT on the new Citizen’s White Paper from @Demos @involveUK

Great piece in @FT by @martinwolf_ on our Citizens' White Paper, w lead partners @Demos
Our aim?
Set out how govt can put people from different walks of life at the heart of national policymaking to deliver better policies & win back public trust!
ft.com/content/40bab0b3-5f19…
🧵
In 1999, there was a big shift to evidence-based policy making, catalysed by the Modernising Government White Paper.
We are calling for a similar shift across govt in 2024 - to put *both* citizens & evidence at the heart of how policy is made.
And now is the time to do it!
