Britain’s Bathroom Ban The UK has gone from a bathroom ban being unthinkable to a Labour government implementing an extraordinarily authoritarian oneβ€”without a vote.

Nearly one in three people with dementia in the UK are living undiagnosed – a dreadful statistic.

Early diagnosis is so vital, yet so difficult. That’s why I met with Alzheimer’s Research UK to learn more about their fight for more accessible and less invasive early diagnosis.

What is happening in Gaza is genocide.

While Prime Minister Netanyahu & President Trump have the ultimate power to stop it, Britain has agency too.

The Government should do everything in its power to stop this genocide, get the aid flowing and help bring the hostages home.

What is happening in Gaza is a genocide. And the President of the United States is doing nothing to stop it.

Keir Starmer must raise this with Trump during the state visit.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law.

Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.

Alan Kurdi, dead on a beach

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Would have saved us from Boris Johnson though.

The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same.

It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israel’s aid blockade. Words alone won’t save lives.

Local authority political assistants guidance

OK, so not a fan of Reform, but political assistants are pretty common. They are also subject to a fair amount of control. See here and related links in this article. www.gov.uk/government/p...

The world is looking on in horror as Netanyahu's Government plots to lock Gaza's entire population into effectively a giant prison.

The Prime Minister should make it clear that the UK won't stand idly by, starting by sanctioning Netanyahu himself.

So the Government's U-turned over a two-tier benefits system for disabled people. But has the Prime Minister actually changed his mind?

I asked him at PMQs, but I didn’t hear an answer. Did you?

Truth Social post by Donald Trump suggesting regime change in Iran.

Truth Social post by Donald Trump suggesting regime change in Iran.

The people of Iran have suffered under a brutal regime for far too long.

But a US President planning regime change in the Middle East feels like 2003 all over again. We’ve seen where that path leads and it does not end well.

Latest news in an unfolding self-inflicted disaster, not just for UK universities but for the UK itself. One of our genuinely world-class sectors is being trashed, with all that means for UK economy, soft power, scientific & cultural life. 'World-class' isn't, for once, blimpish hyperbole ... 1/2

This Carers Week, I’m proud to stand with Carers UK and others in one clear call: greater equality and recognition for family carers. Let’s stand together and show we care.

Eligibility for home fee status and student support in England Find out how students are assessed for home or international/overseas status when being charged tuition fees or applying for student support.

Although holding a UK passport is not enough even for β€˜home students’. You need three years residency prior as well. Please make sure level playing field. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/eligibility-...

I am honoured to have joined young people and the @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social to hand in their open letter to the Government, calling for young people’s voices in the National Cancer Plan.

The #AndYoungPeople campaign is vital for ensuring young people with cancer get the support they need.

Baffled by the β€˜required investments’ in ISAs. It will probably raise tax by restricting the tax efficient wrapper but it doesn’t make sense. Does anyone really think that the β€˜cash’ is just sitting there in a cash ISA? It’s being lent out by banks, surely? And it distributes the risk.
