Revealed: The Staggering Amount of Time Nigel Farage has Spent on ‘Second’ Jobs Since Becoming an MP The Reform UK leader has logged more than 1,100 hours for 14 outside employers since his election in July 2024

An MP's duty is to their constituents and the public.

We need clear time and earnings limits on MPs' second jobs.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

The removal of the remaining hereditary peers is long overdue.

No one should inherit a lifelong seat in Parliament purely on the basis of who their parents were.

But Lords reform mustn’t stop here.

The govt must bring forward its promised consultation on the future of the Lords.

Hereditary peers to be removed from the House of Lords after deal struck Agreement broke a months-long impasse over one of the biggest constitutional reforms in decades

There is one place that the government is backing 'fire and re-hire' - and that's the House of Lords. Up to 15 hereditary peers could be brought back as life peers following a deal made to remove the remaining aristocratic legislators.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

There is no place in a modern democracy for people influencing our laws due to an accident of birth. But neither should there be for people due to the politicians they pleased, or the donations they made.

Hereditary peers finally lose right to Lords seat for life under major reform Keir Starmer's major reform to the House of Lords will finally end the inherited right of hereditary peers to sit on the red benches and cast votes on government legislation

The removal of the remaining hereditary peers is a long-overdue reform. Yet, progress must not stall here, and the government now needs to move onto reforming the Lords into a smaller, democratic chamber, with members chosen by and accountable to the people of this country.

Humanists UK. Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful, without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?' Douglas Adams. Author and humanist.

DON'T PANIC. And always carry a towel.

Today, we're celebrating the life of the humanist and author Douglas Adams, born #onthisday 1952.

He is sorely missed, but his books remain some of the funniest and most imaginative explorations of the absurdity of life, the universe, and everything.

UK Government to 'drive up standards' of RE in England A new UK Government strategy on community cohesion has highlighted Religious Education (RE), citizenship education, and stronger oversight of home education as important to building a more cohesive so...

It's good to see the UK Government recognise that Religious Education can play a role in bringing communities together.

When taught objectively and pluralistically, it can help pupils better understand the diversity of modern society and foster mutual understanding.

Every Child, Every Chance - no to faith schools Help Humanists UK raise money to support Humanists UK

Unfortunately, however, state-funded faith schools work against community cohesion. By segregating children by religion (something looked upon as simply unacceptable in any other public service), faith schools are literally dividing communities. www.justgiving.com/page/nofaith...

If a child is encouraged to think objectively about religion in the classroom, that's directly undermined by having them pray at the start of every school day. Assemblies should include all children, regardless of religion or belief background. humanists.uk/2026/03/11/w...

Compulsory collective worship serves a different purpose. It presents a single belief as normative and authoritative. It positions itself as devotional, not educational, undermining the aims and objectives of RVE to educate children about, rather than lead them to adopt, particular religions.

Petition: Inclusive assemblies NOT compulsory worship We're the only country in the world to impose Christian worship as standard in schools. Tell the Government to back inclusive assemblies for all.

If you think no child should be made to pray at school, or else be excluded and alienated from their peers, then please do sign our petition calling for inclusive assemblies today.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

The move to remove hereditary peers is welcome. The next step should be to remove the Lords Spiritual. There should be no reserved seats in Parliament for any one religion. It’s time to remove bishops from the House of Lords.

Get Bishops out of the Lords Bishops’ automatic seats in the House of Lords are undemocratic and a threat to a tolerant and diverse UK – get them out now! The UK is alone among democratic sovereign states in having clerics vote o...

Having 26 representatives of one denomination of one religion, wielding political power simply because they're CofE, is not representative of the country. It's also just deeply unpopular. Any modernisation of the Lords should end this 14th century anachronism. humanists.uk/action/get-b...

People want greater choice in politics.

First Past The Post isn't up to scratch. We need Proportional Representation.

One donor accounts for 65% of Reform UK's 2025 donation income.

The party's average reported donation is £112k.

Not exactly a people's revolution.

Peter Mandelson received £77,000 in taxpayer-funded compensation after being sacked as Ambassador to the United States, amid links to Jeffrey Epstein and a subsequent police investigation.

The House of Lords is meant to revise and scrutinise legislation. It is not meant to veto the will of the Commons through procedural games.

Watch this moment from Parliament as MPs debate whether the UK should move toward proportional representation during discussion of the Representation of the People Bill.
