Yes Minister! Its been 32 years since this scene was first aired. 32 years and yet the parody is still true.  Its' 2014 and only 25% of the most senior civil servants are women. But over half of all civil servants are women......  CountingWomenIn.org is long overdue.

Hanningfield - Clock in. Clock out.

It has only been 5 months since the last scandal to hit the House of Lords. Back in December it was cash for questions, now it’s expenses - again! Lord Hanningfield has been suspended and ordered to pay back £3,300 expenses he claimed for clocking in and out of Parliament. He maintains that fiddling his expenses was justified as he needed the money to feed his chickens!

Lord Hanningfield is the perfect illustration of the problem with the House of Lords: its lack of accountability. These abuses have continued with impunity in the Lords because unelected peers are totally ­unaccountable to the public. The only way the culture of the Lords will change is when voters, not party leaders, decide who is fit to sit in the second chamber.

Take Action: Write to the party leaders
