Brilliant action highlighting the injustice of private jets and the billionaire class

The mega rich burnt through their fair share of carbon in just the first 10 days of 2025, and yet it’s the normal people suffering most by climate breakdown

#Brexit robbed our young people of the exciting opportunity, enjoyed by many before them, to work, study and live in Europe.

I've co-sponsored this Bill and will keep calling for a scheme that offers young people across the UK and EU this enrichingΒ experience.

I would simply say that one of the changes to tackle it should be to bar anyone who's been convicted of VAWG from serving as an MP, since the party whose MPs are 1/5 convicted domestic abuser aren't there to protest

I mean North Sea Oil is in decline…

whilst green energy is the cheapest it’s ever been, and offshore wind farms emerge as one of the most immediate and substantial ways for the UK to gain both economic and energy security.
