This could be a genuinely exciting moment for our democracy. It’s time to rebuild our politics - and bringing more people in is a way to do exactly that.

Excellent overview here of a bumpy first year:.
Labour’s one year anniversary week looks set to be one of introspection on why Starmer - in the words of John Curtice - had the worst start for any newly elected govt. From our polling and focus groups over this year I’d point to 5 key mistakes 🧵
