TheyWorkForYou is run by mySociety, a small UK charity.

We're a very efficient operation and do a lot with a small team. At the moment TheyWorkForYou, which is used by millions of people each year, is run with less than the equivalent of one full-time person.

If we had a bit more money, we could achieve a lot more.

We want MPs to meet the standards and expectations of the people who elected them - you!

If you share that goal please donate today to enable greater transparency and accountability of the next government.

• Orders of the Day — Queen's Speech: Debate on the Address 4 Nov 1960

  I have the honour to represent South-East Derbyshire—just. It is a varied community with no cities and not dependent on any one industry or trade. The people there are just British people.
