A government quango has ordered the mass slaughter of beloved Dartmoor ponies in the name of ‘biodiversity’. We cannot let this happen.

The great Charles Dickens died #otd 1870. In 1868 author John Stores Smith gave this recollection of Charlotte Bronte meeting Dickens in 1850 - the only account we have of them meeting. It's said that Charlotte liked his work, but not the man.

This is exactly what we need across the Makerfield Constituency. We need measures that support shops and business on the high street. Abolishing business rates is part of that plan.That's why regeneration of the high street is a central part of my Plan for Makerfield.
NEW IN STOCK: Conservative plans to abolish business rates for thousands of high street businesses 🇬🇧

Antisemitism is becoming frighteningly endemic in our universities. This week I met with two students who have experienced it first hand and it is worth dwelling on their stories because they are shocking. Bradley Smart is an undergraduate at the University of Cambridge. After visiting Israel, fellow students said they wanted to kill him. No disciplinary action was taken. Merit Habib Matta spoke about the casual antisemitism she has encountered at Oxford University. In a lecture she attended, the first sentence was: “The Zionist occupation of Palestine…” A classmate said that “The Nazis expansion into Europe was at least the same continent, how could the Jews justify moving to a place so far away?” These comments were made as statements of fact, without challenge or consequence. How we respond to this is test of the kind of country we are. Universities that do not take antisemitism seriously should face serious consequences. There must be real accountability. Without it, we will never stamp this vile hatred out. Thank you to the @PinskerCentre for arranging and all they are doing.
