FOI requests rise as demand for scrutiny grows
Proposals to restrict access raise Qs about the UK’s approach to transparency & accountability

So where do these assumptions come from?
Who decides what “the public thinks”? And in whose interests?
We need far more transparency about how these narratives are shaped.
That’s what’s at stake in the #ElectionsBill
2/2 We need:
- real transparency on who is funding political activity
- caps on donations/financial influence
- safeguards on lobbying/access to decision-makers
- rules that capture not just donations but how money builds political power
#ElectionsBill
1/2 A billionaire is funding a political hub in Westminster, offering office space, media platforms and access to political networks.
None of it is illegal.
#ElectionsBill needs to fix this because right now money is allowed to build real political power.
A private jet used for Farage’s Chagos stunt is reportedly linked to a billionaire donor who has given £12m to Reform
Huge money can buy political influence.
The #ElectionsBill must go further. Democracy shld be shaped by voters not the biggest cheque.

Our democracy is being sold off to big‑money donors and the new #ElectionsBill won’t fix it unless we demand better. Let's kick big money out of our politics, use this super easy tool from @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social to email your MP like I just did. actionnetwork.org/letters/our-... #BigMoneyDonors

⚠️ The government’s #ElectionsBill announced last week needs major work if it is to achieve its goal of ending foreign and undue interference in our democracy. Here are 7️⃣ essential measures that Parliamentarians need to take forward before the Bill becomes law. 🧵
An #ElectionsBill is coming – but will it include #FairVotes?
They’re calling it an ‘Elections’ Bill, but without #ProportionalRepresentation at its heart, it won’t fix the key problem with our elections.

#TrustedElectionsBill
The recent Speaker's Conference, based on our recommendation, called on the Government to use the #electionsbill to mandate @ofcom.bsky.social to produce such a code. With the introduction of that Bill now apparently imminent - and time of the essence - we've done the work. It's time to act. 2/2

Our #elections are at serious risk without an independent referee. The #UKGovernment must restore the independence of the #ElectoralCommission, and the #ElectionsBill is their big chance.
