Last December you told the New Statesman "the specific findings of the Assembly will be published in the new year" but this page is yet to be updated: https://t.co/lPp0NwSjGK

[Julia Cushion @juliacush]

Hi Oliver @SouthYorksMayor! Why haven't the results of the SY climate citizens' assembly (that concluded Dec 2023) been published yet? You seemed so excited about it last year! https://t.co/gQ9ZEKn68I

"There's a lot of data we're not getting hold of" - Marissa Heath from Surrey County Council at this morning's @TheBPCoalition devolution webinar.

We've written all about fragmented climate data on the blog:

I’ve filtered this by highest difference between September and August, also capturing a bunch of MPs who seem to have missed the deadline for the Auguster register but corrected the record for September 👀

[Julia Cushion @juliacush]

Made a spreadsheet comparing Sept & Aug RMFI:
- Despite being knocked out of the leadership contest first, Priti Patel reported the most donations in Sept (£175k)
- Mel Stride reported the least (£30k)
- Robert Jenrick leads on total donations (£255k)

📊https://t.co/zowWHTaTNR

[Julia Cushion @juliacush]

Sheet includes:
- MP name
- MP party
- August total donations
- September total donations
- Sept-Aug difference
- Link to MP's interests page on TWFY

You can make your own version of this sheet, comparing any variable you like, using @mySociety data!

@ElliotBidgood @mySociety Great point Elliot, thanks! We're also interested to see how select committee allocation will affect APPGs - maybe once committee chairs/membership are decided MPs will feel they can make an informed decision on number of APPGs to commit to?

[Julia Cushion @juliacush]

Climate groups very well represented among the 34 APPGs that managed to actually meet the deadline for the first APPG register 🥇

[mySociety @mySociety]

🚨 519 out of 553 APPGs have disappeared since the general election - leaving just 34 registered groups 🤯

What's going on here? We've got three ideas, but our best guess is that it's probably down to a good old-fashioned admin delay 🤓

@Stephen_R_Bates @psa_parl Failed State by @Samfr is not exclusively about parliamentary reform but has a pretty big section on it
