The farm tax and private school fee hike are among the most vindictive policies we’ve seen - driven purely by ideology with no regard for practicality. This isn’t about improving outcomes; it’s about scoring political points.

We are told that the NHS is under 'unprecedented' pressure every winter - you can set your calendar by it.
Why does seasonal flu push the service to 'breaking point' every year?
Perhaps it's time for a mature conversation about how healthcare is delivered in our country.

Emily Damari is a British young woman held prisoner in the Hamas hell tunnels of Gaza.
Here, Emily’s mum Mandy speaks for the first time and asks the British people to get behind her wonderful daughter and demand her immediate release.

Forcing young children into masks was an outrageous decision.
'Masking children during the covid pandemic harmed children whilst doing nothing to stop the spread of the virus, a damning new report has found.'

The Green Mile. Nia Chapman filmed this sequence on the final day of blast furnace steel production at Port Talbot. Well worth a watch (and remembering, before you cast your vote next time). We gave this up in pursuit of Labour’s net zero and climate change policies.

All else aside - if a more respectful and open debate was conducted at the time around the costs and consequences of lockdown, I have no doubt that countless life years would have been saved.
Those who attempted to shut down debate with slurs should be ashamed of themselves.

Like Keir Starmer, I grew up in a pebble dash house (council). I did my homework on my single bed, books and files on candlewick mattress (no desk). Sometimes, on kitchen table.
Or I got a bus to the town library. Amazingly, managed to do well in my exams without use of penthouse.
There are millions like me.

Cracking down on pubs will make no difference whatsoever - all that will happen is people will simply drink at home, and countless more pubs will be left to rot away.
Government should be doing more to support the British pub, not forcing people even further away from them.

If approved, Labour's planning reforms will result in the industrial scale urbanisation of Bucks.
At last week's @BucksCouncil meeting, I voted for a motion to oppose those plans.
The @BucksCouncil Lib Dem/Labour group voted to support the Government rather than our county.

'The only way to restore order in this country is to ensure that the law is applied equally too all.'
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg says that the Government need to condemn the 'inexcusable' actions of the armed mob in Birmingham yesterday, otherwise, they're 'endorsing two-tier policing'.

What binds us together is not race, skin colour or religion -it’s common values, a shared language, and everyone in their different ways trying to contribute to our society, not just take from it. Some of that has been lost, which is why we are where we are.

Two things from the last 7 days
1. The number of friends and colleagues who have reached out / checked in to ask if I’m ok has been amazing and very moving - thank you ❤️
2. The number of times I’ve ended my message to family with “stay safe” 😢
We need to make civilised dialogue , warm everyday encounters, a genuine desire to create understanding and disagreeing respectfully the norm and find ways to end clickbait, disinformation and shock jock “journalism”

Britain was the second biggest European importer of electricity (after Italy) in the first half of this year — 18.9TWh, an 80%+ rise on the second half of 2023. So much for energy security. Not great for balance of payments either.
