Yes Ed but I think this happened behind closed doors - you're not saying they took notice of/even read any evidence from 'outsiders' are you?! (No suggestion of this tbh.)

Anyway here in sheff just looking at the detail and also waiting on your fuller explanation/'take'....looks v. minimal indeed.

You've missed that Abtisam Mohamed (sheff central lab MP) has also re/quote tweeted Tony Vaughan.

Democratic citizens shouldn’t just wait passively for governments to make decisions, then react to them.

We have the privilege and responsibility to contribute to the public opinion that helps shape those decisions.

Too close to govt??

But why no word from IPPR North on the top-down, democracy-decimating, removal-of-rights, contemptuous to communities Clause 57? bills.parliament.uk/publications...

And where is New Local speaking up about Clause 57? To defend community power exercised. The Bill overturns a democratic mandate in Sheff & removes the right of local areas (& communities) to decide the way they work. So where is yr voice?

Olivia Blake (Sheff Hallam) also spoke up similarly, later in the debate.
