"I am totally in favour of reform - but it must be reform that changes the nature of British politics, not simply the makeup or operation of parliament." - David Blunkett

The boundary review is causing a bit of a stir in Westminster this week. Labour MPs have called it "gerrymandering", and even some Tories are said to be anxious about what the changes will mean for them. Today we hear from the Electoral Reform Society about the five key problems with the plans and how they believe there could be serious implications for our democracy.

And, our next piece looks at the Home Office's response to the APPG report into medicinal cannabis. It argues that by the government relying on the same tired and misleading message they are depriving hundreds of thousands of people of legal access to a drug which can relieve pain.
