I've lost friends that I've known for a decade. Is it worth it? I really really hope so.

@JoinYVUK @samikshassotd "I wanted... to... encourage individual agency and thinking for oneself." Astonishing that this needs to be said in 2026 but thank goodness we still have somebody bold enough to say it.

@reillyjames @samikshassotd Yes! We are so proud of @samikshassotd for her fearlessness to stand for freedom ☺️

What happens when you dare to host a women's rights event at a British university in 2026? 🇬🇧 Young Voices UK contributor Samiksha Bhattacharjee @samikshassotd found out the hard way. She lost friends. Her treasurer resigned. Her guest speaker was targeted with vile personal attacks — met with complete silence from the union. And her own union admitted the only thing stopping them from cancelling was the law. But the event went ahead. And Samiksha didn't back down. 💪 "The price of freedom is the loss of belonging and popularity. As long as the alternative is a moral wasteland of conformity and fear — that's a price I'm willing to pay." We're proud to platform talented, fearless voices like Samiksha's. 🌟 Read her full piece in @Telegraph — link below. #FreeSpeech #WomensRights #UKPolitics #CultureWar

Is your degree actually worth £53,000 of debt? 🎓 The government claims graduates earn £100,000 more over their lifetime. But that's an average — and averages hide the full picture. Young Voices UK contributor Oliver Dean revealed what the government isn't telling you about university debt on @BBCOne — including why campaign group Looking for Growth is demanding the government #ReleaseTheRecords. Because if we're asking young people to take on £53,000 of debt, they deserve the truth. 📊 #StudentDebt #HigherEducation #UKPolitics

Love to see our contributor @NewsonTed in the studio making the case against mandating cash acceptance — sharp free market take! 🎙️ ✅

A pleasure to join @DrStephenDixon and @elliecostelloTV in the studio to discuss a mandate on accepting cash. With all the current business regulation, why do we need more state rules piled onto shop owners? If they want to take cash, great. If not, customers can go elsewhere.

We're proud to have placed our contributor @NoahKhogali on Times Radio! 🎙️ He covered: 🔹 Trump's geopolitical pivot & Iran 🔹 Labour's government agenda 🔹 Tech regulation for under 16s Sharp analysis across the board ✅

Great to join Times Radio this morning (courtesy of @JoinYoungVoices) to go through the papers on an exceptionally busy news day. We covered everything from global security to the realities of tech regulation. We chatted through 3 key bits of news, both international and closer to home: 🌎 Trump's geopolitical pivot and Iran 🌹 The battle for Labour's government agenda 📱 A reality check on tech regulation for U16s

We must release the full records. @OliDugmore and @pursuitofprog were right when they launched this campaign with @lfg_uk Students deserve to know whether their university and course will be financially worthwhile. Great discussion on @bbcsml 👇

MPs are now publicly condemning Starmer, and the markets are preparing for a possible leadership challenge. With such instability mounting, businesses would do well to prepare for a post-Starmer future. My first editorial piece in @MaceMagazine 👇 macemagazine.com/businesses-sho…

My article @CityAM today. The UK wants to ban zero-alcohol drinks. What?! cityam.com/im-a-teetotall…

In today’s UK, expressing common-sense views can invite serious trouble for ordinary people—sometimes even police action, as seen in @SpeechUnion cases like @Glinner 's or Deborah Anderson's. Restricting X is just another anti-speech tool ✍️My article in @RCPolitics today:

As a child, I thought myself very grown up drinking my bottle of coke out of a wine glass. Turns out in Starmer's Britain that could be another gateway to alcoholism he might want banned! Me this evening on @GBNEWS 🎥: Thanks to @aak1880 for debating with me.

When Labour doesn’t know how to solve a problem, it reaches for a ban. Be in no doubt, this is a non-solution to the non-existent problem of abuse of zero-alcohol drinks by kids. I'm discussing this on @GBNEWS at 21:20.
