We’re told tax is a curse and even “theft.” That’s wrong. Tax is how we build a fair society. It’s how we express our shared responsibility. The real immorality lies in avoiding tax. In this video, I explain why tax is not a burden but the foundation of democracy itself. youtu.be/4UXpnRL3WVE?...

Apparently, “alignment with priorities” matters more than facts when sharing economic expertise on the energy transition.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned from attending their game against Aston Villa after police intelligence concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.
This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

"In the 1980s and 1990s, UK governments ceded control of large parts of their power, privatising energy, water, transport, housing and more. We transferred power from the UK ballot box to boardrooms, not to Brussels."

The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees.
Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year.
Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.
The UK government should end the child poverty creating two-child limit to benefit support. 🔽🔽

Tomorrow I'll be on Laura Kuenssberg.
Will I be able to say "I can announce the Green Party have just overtaken the Tories in members!"?
