🚨UK GOVERNMENT CHANGES MP's JOB ROLE
Originally it said MP's must represent the interests and concerns of the public
Now it says MP's have no job description
Why do they want our elected representatives to NOT represent us? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/8z9ZjBLEKe

Only 'accountable' in that constituents can decide not to re-elect them. But the changes (applied after April 2025 apparently) basically mean that MPs are no longer elected to represent their constituents. They can work between Parliament and their constituency and decide how…

It certainly has not always been the case that MPs are elected on the basis of a blank cheque job description where there is no mention of representing the interests of their constituents.

🚨 WATCH DOMINIC CUMMINGS – Government is FAKE – Cummings blows the whistle on the elected politician / civil service charade:
"Fake meritocracy, fake responsibility and a fake government"
"Cabinet is a stage theatre"
"Both sides are happy with the fake version of government" pic.twitter.com/pgYiU1lXqK— banthebbc 𝕏 (@banthebbc) November 30, 2024
According to independent watchdogs and political commentators, the UK Parliament recently updated its documentation and quietly removed the explicit requirement for Members of Parliament to “represent the public” from the formal job description. That line had previously been part of the generic MP role outlined by the Senior Salaries Review Body in 2001.
The current Parliament website still describes MPs as elected to “represent their interests and concerns in the House of Commons”, but critics argue that the formal job description used internally no longer includes that language. The change hasn’t been widely publicized, and there’s no official statement explaining the revision.
