Let’s talk about Charlotte Owen - a 🧵
She’s 30, and has been appointed to the House of Lords FOR LIFE.
There is a super injunction on her, meaning that nobody in the UK media can talk about her, how she got appointed to the House of Lords, and her connection to Boris Johnson
People usually get appointed to the House of Lords because of their contributions to business, society, politics, law etc
Charlotte Owen has mainly just been a parliamentary assistant to MPs, and before that was an intern.
Volt UK resolutely condemns the decision of the unelected British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to prorogue Parliament, denying the elected representatives of the British people the time to debate viable options to solve the crisis. (1/5)
Johnson’s attempt to silence Parliament goes against the spirit of our democracy. It comes at a time when it is more important than ever that our elected representatives have the opportunity to hold the Government to account and make sure our voices are heard. (2/5)
