Steve Reed: “They want us to get on with the job.”

British democracy is not for sale.

There are so many pubs that are wanting to open their doors to fans so that they can watch the World Cup, and we want to do everything we can as a government to make sure that happens.

This Government is driving the most ambitious programme of local government reform in a generation, replacing the inefficient two-tier system with new unitary councils so that all parts of our country are ready for devolution.

These tough new rules will shut down dodgy funding, stop foreign money influencing our elections and keep our democracy strong.
