If a foreign national is entirely incapable of speaking English, what are they doing living in our country? Why are they here? How can they give more than they take? The answer is simple - they can't. It doesn't matter if they arrived legally. They should be sent home.

The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges

i think we should all be increasingly worried about how black actresses -- especially dark-skinned black actresses --- are being edged out from teen, ya, na spaces in television and film

Oasis are trending. What else from the '90s should make a comeback?

🚨 NEW: Tory leadership hopeful Tom Tugendhat has denied using Ozempic “unlike one rival” but would not clarify which other contender he was referring to [@SunPolitics]

My Friends. Last week I made a post about our local Travelodge and here are the facts. I'd received dozens of messages and emails from constituents who thought that our Travelodge had received two bus loads of illegal migrants and they were very concerned. As the MP for the area the last thing I want is any community tensions that could lead to serious problems so I immediately contacted Travelodge who confirmed that there was no illegal migrants in the hotel. I posted this on here because it was the truth. I then found out that the two buses were in fact the family and friends of NHS workers at Kings Mill Hospital, therefore I posted again the explain this. The media and left immediately began to attack me and started spreading more divisive information. The NHS workers and their families were deeply upset at some of the comments under my post and I can completely understand that. These same people invited me to two of their festivals in the past year and I was guest speaker at one of the events. These people are good, hardworking citizens who came here legally to work in our NHS. That said they also have the same concerns as me in that they are very concerned about mass illegal migration. They recognise what a welcoming and tolerant country we are and they want to keep it that way. We might have a different skin colour but we are very similar in our outlook. These people are my friends and I feel their pain in the same way they completely accept and understand why I made the post as the last thing I wanted was an angry mob turning up at the hotel. I met with my Indian/British friends yesterday where they invited me to their next festival and I've invited them to do some charity events with me to raise money for good causes in Ashfield. Bet the media doesn't report thus but you can by sharing this post.
