Rushanara Ali, who resigned last August, highlights gaping holes in the legislation — especially around voting reform, crypto donations, and social media regulation — and argues that stronger protections against online harassment and disinformation are urgently needed. With the bill’s progress paused to accommodate the Hillsborough law, Ali and other MPs are pushing for a national commission on voting reform and a full ban on crypto donations, not just a moratorium. They’re betting Burnham can lead a bold, transformative shift to restore public trust in democracy — before the next election.
