At a residential event with @PTCScotland & @povertytruthnet a couple of weeks ago we talked about MPs doing a "national service" where they would spend uninterrupted time in local communities learning about and from the experiences of those who live there. #NationalService

Some very powerful messages created over the last 24 hours with @PTCScotland & @povertytruthnet.
We created our own manifesto for change and shared ideas of what a good democracy could and should look like. 🪧🪧🪧
