Worth a listen. Service, veterans and what to do if you find that everything is becoming a little too much! Reach out and talk….people are there and they are waiting to help!
🚨 Very pleased to say Al Carns @AlistairCarns has done a big interview for my @GBNEWS show today 9pm. He talks about his service, veteran prosecutions and he’s backed our Help4HomelessVeterens fundraiser! Now up to £613,000 with gift aid!

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to
- leave the ECHR
- repeal the Equality Act
- Strip back workers rights
- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts
- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions”
He is not on your side
Nigel Farage and Reform UK want to
- leave the European Convention on Human Rights which protects our right to protest, our right to privacy, our right to fair trials and so much more
- repeal the Equality Act - a key piece of legislation that prevents against discrimination in Britain
- Strip back workers rights
- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts and Legalize "fire and rehire" tactics
- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” that allow landlords to remove tenants without giving a reason and introduces new duties over health hazards
and to sell all this to the country Farage offers nothing in return but grievance and division. PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT.
That anyone could be supporting Farage and Reform with these policies must surely be a damning indictment of UK media in failing to explain all this to the public

In a Parliament that contains x2 Military Cross holders, one of which also has a DSO, OBE and MiD to his name, and where at least 3 others hold military MBEs, I’m finding the Reform attack line that they have today revealed the most experienced military man in politics curious

This is “bendy banana” level misinformation nonsense. There is no EU ban on smoky bacon flavoured crisps. The ban concerns certain smoke flavourings over their potential to damage DNA. Manufacturers can use alternative flavourings.

421 years ago today, the Gunpowder Plot was foiled in the cellars beneath the House of Lords.
More than four centuries later, the event is still marked at the State Opening of Parliament, when the Yeomen of the Guard ceremonially search the cellars before the King arrives.

Risible EU ban on smoky bacon crisps in Britain as part of @andyburnham reset tells you everything about the petty mind set of Brussels. So much for big picture politics

This is spot on. Europe has to adapt to a new world economy, in which inter-connectedness and the rise of China, coupled with the declining importance of the single market, create new fundamentals.
Instead we see panic and paranoia. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
