There are around 37 delegated powers in the Crime and Policing Bill 2025 giving the executive (government) the power to write secondary legalisation in the form of regulations/orders

We cannot carry on like this. It is subversion of the parliamentary sovereignty principle - supposedly a cornerstone of our constitution - whereby parliament only should make law, as part of the democratic process, with only elected representatives debating and approving legislation

This is now laugable - the executive is making the bulk of our law, not parliament

This is the weaponisation of our political system. And the law

I think this is what we need to get people to understand to help move us beyond reactive, to proactive

Its boring and very unappealing compared to click bait headlines but it is the thing that will lead to true engagement and pushes for reform in the end. In saying this I of course realise that parliamentary sovereignty is not without its own problems. I am writing about this aspect at the moment and how it should itself be interpreted

Apache Gary picked me up this week to drive to our outreach site. It was a wash out. It chucked it down in buckets, so we sat in the car waiting for the rain to ease off so we could erect our little marquee and listened to music. This came on. A track I could barely recall. I went to see Nick Drake when I was around 14 years old. He was playing at the Haworth arms and I snuck in and sat at the back away from the notice of the landlord. It was one of only a handful of live performances he ever gave before he took his life, but his mastery of the guitar and his song writing had already become legendry at a very early stage in his career.
Nick Drake had come to prominence in the late 60s out of the then thriving folksy scene, and subscribers of a certain age may know his best selling album 'Pink Moon', which is still worth a listen. This track is from the album 'Five leaves left', named after the warning slip in a packet of cigarette papers. In my opinion his most accomplished body of work. His arrangements always strangely haunting, he never matched the commercial success of Pink Moon and fell into a bout of severe depression.
His music underwent something of a revival around the turn of the century when I re-discovered this album. So many truly lovely compositions on it
Enjoy!
