The Monarchy has among the most blood-soaked histories behind its wealth and status. It is correct that Charles is confronted with that whilst he continues to enjoy the pomp and extravagance of billionaire and Head of State status created by that history theguardian.com/australia-news…






The continued existence of the House of Lords in its current form is an embarrassment to all in the United Kingdom. Removing the hereditary peers is a positive step but leaves us with a system built entirely on nepotism. We can & should be going further. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

It's unsurprising that officials working for the Monarchy, who see themselves as above the law, will simply make up rules to protect them. They can't hide from public scrutiny forever It's long past time to abolish their remaining exemptions to our laws theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/d…

As part of Republic Day, I was pleased to speak at the rally in Edinburgh for an elected head of state accountable to the citizens of a democratic Scottish republic. Our democracy must be based on equality not inherited wealth & power. Thanks to Our Republic for organising!
