The Big Review Of Britain - Do We Need A Constitutional Convention?

In this clip, Mike Yardley and I discuss my idea of a "Big Review of Britain" - in other words, a constitutional convention. Earlier this year, I spoke with Tom Brake from Unlock Democracy about the idea of implementing a written constitution in the UK. At the time, I was intrigued by the idea but did not see why we needed to be so urgent about the issue. It seemed to me that, yes, there would be advantages to a codified constitution, but that this was just a nice idea for intellectuals to debate. Given the ascending pile of other issues we had to deal with from corruption, the revolving door and climate change, to the huge levels of inequality, a slow-down in productivity, a falling birth rate, the unbridled growth of big tech and now, most visibly, Covid — given all these obstacles, constitutional matters, I thought, could be placed on the backburner. Far better, I reasoned, to sort out the parking on the high street or get the bins collected more often.
