Arrived at #Westminster Central Hall for the #UNGAat80 session- 80 years since the first #UN General Assembly met in London, it’s more important than ever to fight for international cooperation and peace.
Like those meeting after WWII, we must fight for a world of democracy and rule of law!

We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

The economic damage Brexit has caused is undeniable - even Brexiteers are now admitting it.

Welcome for tourist tax [library image] Government proposals to allow English Regional Mayors the power to introduce a tourism levy has been welcomed by Councillor Kevin Guy, Leader of Bath & North East Somerset Counc…

I'm proud so many love visiting Bath, but millions of tourists put real pressure on our city.

It's great the Government is giving mayors the power to introduce a tourist levy, which I had previously called for in Parliament.

But we must ensure the money raised benefits both residents and visitors.

Trump hits UK with new tariffs The new tariffs were confirmed despite the UK Government's best efforts to secure an exemption for the UK.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump imposes 10% tariffs on UK imports.

β€œIf there was any doubt, Trump is no friend of Britain and his unprovoked trade war will be felt by ordinary people across the UK in their pocket and in cuts to public spending." @pimlicat.bsky.social
