Sometimes friends and allies need to be called out when they are wrong. That’s what true friendship is. Whether it’s a ‘negotiation tactic’ or something more sinister, @realDonaldTrump is wrong. Stand with Ukraine, stand with democracy. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦

British society is being assaulted by two forces. First, by a meek liberal consensus at the top of society. As well as pathetic coverage of integration issues, it shamefully handled the Israel-Gaza protests and denied the role of Islamism in the murder of Sir David Amess. Second, by a cowardly nascent racism at the bottom. It revelled in a made-up story about the murderer of little girls, leading to violence on the streets of Southport last night. It is lazy, disgusting, and hateful. People only seem capable of criticising one and not the other. Until we have the ability to call out both, the lives of the innocent will be insulted rather than honoured. My piece for @ConHome today 👇 conservativehome.com/2024/07…

"I’m not scared to die, I’m scared of dying in pain. All of my terminal friends want the choice and if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it." Powerful words from Paola, shortly before she was forced to travel hundreds of miles to die on her own terms. theguardian.com/society/2024…

This treatment of @AndrewBoff is NOT okay
3 Oct 2023
‘Heckler’ is Andrew Boff, chair of London Assembly since 2023. He was talking quite quietly: said Braverman was ‘talking rubbish’ about gender ideology and called speech a “homophobic rant” Was escorted out.
