During World War 2, nearly a third of the British army were from the Indian subcontinent. They made up the largest volunteer army ever in history. But we still rarely remember these Sikhs, Muslims & Hindus. This VE Day we must remain firm in our pursuit of the truth. #VEDay80

80 years ago today, #WW2 came to an end in Europe. On #VEDay, we thank all those who fought for our freedom, and remember the sacrifice of so many. Throughout the war, and ever since, the UK and Norway has stood shoulder to shoulder in protection of our shared values. #VEDay80

It’s been said that the next UK political scandal is probably already happening in plain sight. And it is. It’s been happening all this week at the assisted suicide bill committee. A thread:

At the APPG's inaugural meeting, we launched our report on our delegation visit to #Ethiopia in May - with @TanDhesi Baroness Hayman @jonny_oates @JamesSunderl @GradySNP - where we saw the devastating impact of #NTDs #malaria and the incredible work being done to fight them 👇

It’s official! Today, Chad🇹🇩 introduced the R21 malaria vaccine, along with vaccines against #pneumococcal infections and #rotavirus, into its routine immunization programme. Now, children aged 6 to 23 months can be vaccinated and protected against #malaria, acute diarrhoea, and diseases such as #meningitis and #pneumonia. #VaccinesWork

@Peterbojangles @garthy1982 @Telegraph Independent schools’ largest cost (c80%) is staff. There is no input VAT on staff costs. The purchases on which VAT can be reclaimed will be no more than 20% of the total. The net impact will be around an 16% increase in cost.

@garthy1982 @Telegraph VAT not based on profit just transactions. Being VAT registered means they will be able to claim back the VAT on everything they purchase so the hit isn’t as big as people make out.

It's a flagship Labour policy. But one of Britain’s top constitutional and human rights lawyers has warned that the planned VAT raid on private schools might actually be illegal...
