Once upon a time, voices like this would have been viewed as authoritative in such a debate and aided their side. Now though, I think that by and large people see through it (as per the community note) and such advocacy has had a net negative effect:
Paul Brand@PaulBrandITV

EXCL: 65% of people back the assisted dying bill, just 14% oppose it, as it’s held up in the Lords. One dying man pleads with peers from his hospice bed to give him a choice. ITV News is featuring stories from both sides of the debate as time runs out. itv.com/news/2026-03-1…

Bait & switch on Assisted Dying. 1: get it through the Commons by saying don’t worry about the details, the Lords will scrutinise it; and 2: shrill protests that Lords are “holding it up,” causing a “constitutional crisis” when they give the scrutiny you promised.

Was at Queens Hospital this afternoon, saw Wes Streeting recording a video on the site. Recording party political material using public resources is against the ministerial code. He'll probably claim it was ministerial communications, didn't sound like it.

Most people don’t realise where the £180 million actually went at the A303 Stonehenge tunnel project. It wasn’t construction. It was years of: • Environmental impact assessments • Heritage & archaeological studies • Legal challenges and consultations • Design, engineering and traffic modelling • Public inquiries and revisions All before a single shovel hit the ground. This is the real problem in Britain: We don’t just waste money, we build systems that guarantee it. £180 million to build nothing.

The A303 Stonehenge tunnel has been scrapped after years of planning. £180 million. Gone. Not a single mile built. Not a single benefit delivered. Just taxpayer money burned. Who is actually held accountable for this?

We’re delighted to award a grant to Greater Anglia for their works to the exterior of the beautiful flint original station building (1845) at Thetford Station (Grade II Listed). It just now needs a future sustainable use. Please share with interested parties.

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.
