The UK Gov are massively overstepping here and putting all our online security at risk by even asking for it!!! People buy Apple because they’re secure; implementing backdoors would destroy this!

Something I learnt on SquirrelTok - 'squirrel' is the second hardest English word for Francophones to master after 'Worcestershire'.

What they might not know is that the English word actually comes from old French 'esquireul', so they really have themselves to blame.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer jokes at #PMQs about the cease and desist letter he got last week from Liz Truss

'She was complaining that saying she'd 'crashed the economy' was damaging her reputation - it was actually crashing the economy that damaged her reputation'

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans.

At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.
