Along with over 50 MPs and Lords, I have written to the Justice Secretary calling on him to meet immediately with the lawyers representing those on hunger strike.
Lives are at risk. Time is running out.
The Justice Secretary must act without delay - before a tragedy occurs.

For 50 years, Western politics has rested on a single promise: growth. But what if that promise can no longer be kept?
In this video, I ask a question almost no politician dares to face: what happens to democracy when growth flatlines permanently?

People must know who and what they are voting for. That’s the very lowest bar in a democracy.
