For years, I’ve fought for Plymouth leaseholders trapped in "fleecehold" scams and rip-off service charges.
I'm proud to see Labour’s Leasehold & Commonhold Reform Bill. We’re capping ground rents and banning new leasehold flats to give control back to the residents

The new bus shelters are in, the service signs are up and markings are on the road, Royal Parade is now open to buses! The bigger, better shelters were ready to use from 5am.
The saw tooth design along the kerb should reduce stacking of services in the bus lane.

🚨 BREAKING: John Major warns U.K. 🇬🇧 and Europe 🇪🇺
Populism isn’t a fringe irritation anymore 👉it’s become mainstream and professionalised.
John Major spells out the danger:
If populism gains power, it won’t tolerate opposition
We’re watching that unfold in real time across the UK and Europe.
This is not “anti-establishment rebellion”.
It’s a direct threat to democracy.

I’m banned.
I’m a British Jew and a member of the Board of Deputies. Israel needs to ask itself: who are its allies, and what message does this send?
