House of The People
Loading...
Henry Nowak was 18 years old. He was stabbed. He told police he was the victim. He died in handcuffs.
Today his case dominated Prime Minister’s Questions. Every party used it to make a political argument. The chamber erupted. Fingers were pointed. Voices were raised.
House of The People exists because the public deserves to be part of that conversation.
Nobody consulted the people who will live under whatever policy comes next. The debate about what this case means and what should change is happening entirely among the people whose system produced the outcome in the first place.
House of The People was built for everyone who just read the above and thought: why do we not get a say in the key decisions that shape our lives?
Nobody in that building asked the public what they think should happen to the policing and justice system that failed Henry.
A document that defines the rules of power in Britain is being rewritten in a room the public has no access to, by a process the public has no part in, following pressure from a committee the public did not elect.
The Cabinet Manual governs how ministers behave, how decisions are made and how power is exercised in this country.
Most people have never heard of it. None of them were asked whether it needed changing, what should be in it, or what the rules governing their government should look like.
