Very pleased that my project has featured & will be shared with the Executive Office of the United Nations Secretary-General! 🇺🇳 2 themes: • Enhancing Global Cooperation; & • Increasing Global Rights Ownership #UNGSP #UN75

I hear that a backbench MP will be reintroducing the assisted suicide bill. I cannot think of a more tone-deaf thing to do at a time of national malaise, particularly as the bill divides the Labour Party, and has been rejected by every medical royal college that took a view.

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.

🚨NEW: Teachers are raising concerns about a ban on YouTube for under-16s as many year 10 and 11 students use the platform to learn and revise GCSE content

The government says our energy prices are dictated by a world market oil and gas price. So why is our energy around 4 times the price of US and 3 times China?

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her? What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’? What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals? How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone? The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.” @WestminsterWAG

Former cabinet secretaries join calls for reinstatement of mandarin dismissed in Mandelson vetting scandal 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

🚨 NEW: Kemi Badenoch has applied for an emergency debate on the Peter Mandelson appointment tomorrow It's likely to be granted and will allow MPs to debate what Olly Robbins said at the Foreign Affairs Committee [@joncraig]

Current political crisis surrounding Starmer’s pre-vetting appointment of Mandelson is not going away! Did Starmer put undue pressure on Robbins by announcing this appointment before vetting had concluded? Seems quite unfair to lay blame given limiting effect of s.3 CRGA 2020!

🐣✝️ Wishing a joyous Easter Sunday to Christians celebrating in the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world today.

The grooming gangs scandal is one of the darkest moments in our country’s history - where the most vulnerable were abused and exploited by evil child rapists. The independent national Inquiry will now begin its work to uncover how these crimes were allowed to happen and root out failure wherever it occurred. The Inquiry will be laser‑focused on grooming gangs and will explicitly examine the role of ethnicity, religion and culture - including how institutions responded. There will be no hiding place for the predatory monsters who committed these vile crimes.

We are absolutely heartbroken that this is how low Britain has sunk. This horrific act truly plumbs new depths. Hatzola is a volunteer-run ambulance service run by the Jewish community but catering to everyone, Jews and non-Jews alike, working with the NHS to save lives as fast as possible. They provide outstanding medical care at lightning speed every hour of every day, and fundraise to buy ambulances and equipment. They are truly a shining example of the Jewish community coming together to help everyone in the most fundamental of ways by giving the gift of life. Burning their ambulances in an attempt to put them out of action is a truly repulsive act of antisemitic hatred in a Britain where Jews now have to keep everything from schools to synagogues under constant guard. Our society has become infested with the sickness of antisemitism. In this case it is not only about catching the perpetrators and restoring the ambulances, but about politicians accepting that by tolerating everything from hate marches to hate preachers, they have created this sickening mess, and time has run out for them to act. The law must change, fast, but so must society. The people spewing obsessive conspiracy theories about Jews, Zionists and Israelis are not social justice warriors, they are hateful bigots who are feeding this madness and must be stood up to and told as much by ordinary decent people.

The head of British Gas has called on the Government to drop its ban on exploiting untapped oil and gas fields in the North Sea, saying the move would help ease spiralling energy costs ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

You are alive. You have a home. You have a bed. You have food. Be grateful.

Wishing all Christians in the UK and across the globe a blessed and peaceful Lent ✝️

Happy Lunar New Year to all those celebrating 🧧

Reducing bills and the cost of living: always an intention, never an outcome. Funny how that works. #bbcqt

1000-year-old Bamburgh Castle, England.

Can someone explain to me why a House of Commons private members bill should be entitled to automatic passage in the House of Lords without proper scrutiny and debate?
