Was a Tory, no more. Reform’s the only option as a farmer now. Makes great tea, prefers ale. likes good food way too much.

Bad news for Reform UK in Wales: New Law to make it illegal to lie in Welsh elections is passed in Senedd. It is now a criminal offence in Wales to make false or misleading statements as an election candidate. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

There should be one overwhelming priority for the EU — financially and politically: Get the fuck off fossil fuels. The security hawks obsessing over a Russian invasion are a distraction. The focus should be a Green Energy revolution.

This is the biggest reform to our Parliament in a generation. 🇬🇧 This morning, the 700-year-old system of hereditary membership in the House of Lords was abolished. Membership is now earned through public service and merit, not granted by an inheritance. ✅

This kind of frothing hatred for women's freedom is just so out of touch with public opinion on abortion. MPs with even the tiniest liberal bone in their body need to have some courage and come out and defend our bodily autonomy, because at the moment Westminster is sounding like a house full of loons.

This is the UK we know and love and most of us were raised in.


Too many are too polite to say this …but give your head a wobble Nick! London rightly hosts Diwali, Vaisakhi, Chanukah and in a few weeks Easter celebrations But this nonsense of singling out Muslims at an Iftaar open to all Londoners as exceptional is just bigotry. Faith leaders must call out this nonsense from politicians who seem committed to causing hate and division.

Dear British Muslims, Tomorrow is Eid. Research shows Ramadan spending boosts the economy by £1.3bn, on top of an annual contribution of £70bn. I'm sure you want to celebrate - but spend too much, grow the economy a little too fast, and it might be seen as "dominating" 😳😬

I think Kier Starmer is the best PM we have had for decades. Strange that so many say he's made mistakes/he's not perfect. When did those commentators ever say tory PMs made mistakes? You know tory governments that make ordinary people poorer & rich people richer. FUNNY THAT

I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit. I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country. This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran. We must take a stand.

I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?

Zack Polanski is by far the most popular candidate for Prime Minister among Britain's 18-24 year olds. Over 3x more popular than Nigel Farage. 7x more popular than Rupert Lowe.
