Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you're pregnant and is still considered the safest choice of pain relief during pregnancy.
There is no evidence it causes autism in children.

Think one of the reasons traditional parties are struggling to tackle Reform is that they’re failing to understand how their rise relates to the growing importance of the “system vs anti system axis” in our politics and the diminishing of tribal Lab/Tory rivalries.

It is crystal clear. This Government does not want Trans Men to exist. As men we must stand up for this attack on our trans brothers, you are welcome in our toilets, you are welcome in our changing rooms, and you are one of us.

I have a very informed sense of what percentage of AI queries could rightfully be classified as “therapy.” It’s shockingly high. Shockingly shocking. This is actually then a prescient article we should be thinking about: newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

Triple Lock needs to be replaced with a single lock indexing the State Pension to average earnings growth. It will be far more sustainable and give pensioners more of a stake in productivity gains.
The triple lock has cost around 3x more than expected.
In our central projection, the triple lock explains 1.6pts of the 2.7% of GDP rise in state pension spending. If recent volatility persists, it could add a further 1.5pts; a steadier path could reduce it by 1.3pts.

If you're a pension-age couple with a combined income of just under £70,000 a year, the government will give you taxpayers' money to pay your energy bills with. If you're a family earning a fraction of that amount and struggling to keep your children warm this winter, no help with your bills for you. How it that right or fair?

A £260m plan to build a massive film and tv studio has been blocked by the Government.
The cause of Britain's persistently low levels of investment isn't pension funds (as some Ministers claim), it's the Government repeatedly blocking major investment.

When I was Leader of the Council, I worked with Reading FC fan groups to prevent the owner, Dai Yongge, selling off its Bearwood Park training ground.
This Bill must expand its list of protected assets to ensure owners, like Dai Yongge, can never asset-strip clubs again.

Today, patients and staff from the Royal Berks Hospital joined me for a meeting with the Minister responsible for the New Hospital Building Programme, ensuring their voices were heard on the delay.
I will continue to fight for those affected, and for an earlier hospital rebuild.

Appalling misuse of the Equality Act here—regardless of your thoughts on her views.
Political parties should have the right to discriminate based on political beliefs. This is common sense.
The state policing hurt feelings. Insane. Illiberal.

The repair bill will grow to £400 million for the Royal Berks over the next 10 years. The decision to delay a new hospital wastes public money throwing good money after bad.

When we said we wanted economic growth and rising living standards, we meant it.
When we said we’d take on the barriers standing in the way of vital infrastructure being built, we meant it.
