We launched our reports on Defensive Constitutional Reform in Parliament at the end of April.

This virtual event will give a chance for members of 99%, Open Britain, Unlock Democracy — and indeed any members of the public — the chance to hear what we told MPs and Peers about the urgent need for Defensive Constitutional reform.

The event will be free to all-comers. The event will be chaired by Dominic Minghella, and the expert panel will be:

• Professor Andrew Blick is Professor of Politics and Contemporary History at King’s College London, and co-director of the Centre for British Democracy. He is co-author with Lord Hennessy of Could it Happen Here? The Day a Prime Minister Refuses to Resign.
• Tom Brake is the CEO of Unlock Democracy. He previously spent 22 years as a Member of Parliament, where he was active in pushing for democratic reform, including extending Freedom of Information (FOI) laws to private companies like Serco and Capita when they undertake work for the public sector, for votes at 16, and in defending UK elections from foreign interference.
• Mark Kieran is the CEO of Open Britain. He is a passionate advocate for better democracy. He has had past roles in local government, Whitehall, and Parliament. Mark’s goal is to help build a new democracy with fair elections that are free from dark money and disinformation, and in which all votes count.
• Professor Christina Pagel is Professor of Operational Research at University College London. She has a background in mathematics and physics and has used these analytical skills in analysing health issues. More recently, in 2025, she launched the Trump Action Tracker, a comprehensive database of actions which tend towards authoritarianism.
• Mark E Thomas. Founder of the 99% Organisation.
