When will Labour stand up for a step-free railway?
<p>Blaming the Victorians for a large percentage of our rail network being inaccessible to a significant proportion of the UK public is wearing very thin after 150 years. While some progress has been made since ‘Access for All’ funding for step-free stations was introduced by Gordon Brown’s Labour government in 2006, thousands of platforms across … <a href="https://julianvaughan.blog/2021/11/26/when-will-labour-stand-up-for-a-step-free-railway/" class

So what exactly is Labour’s Green policy?
<p>After being asked to stand in at short notice and give a presentation to my local Labour Party on Labour’s ‘Green’ policy I spent a few hours trawling the internet and writing notes in preparation.

It’s time to end 2nd Jobs and Freebies for MPs
<p>The recent actions by the government in shamefully attempting to defend corruption have done considerable damage to the credibility of Parliament and people’s trust in both politicians and our political system. The actions of the Prime Minister, and others in the Conservative Party, have shown such a blatant disregard for accountability, so vital to our … <a href="https://julianvaughan.blog/2021/11/05/it-is-time-to-stop-mps-from-having-second-jobs/" class="mor
