Donald Trump is taking money away from our hospitals & GP surgeries, and Nigel Farage is cheering him on.
We can't let Trump get away with extortion like this, Parliament must be given a chance to vote this deal down.

More than 100 lawyers who wrote to the Ministry of Justice expressing significant concerns about plans to severely restrict jury trials say representations by the legal profession are being ignored.
The government is expected to formally announce the changes, which have caused deep division among the judiciary and senior lawyers, as soon as next week. Continue reading...

I’m just watching a film of The Who live at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970. Bloody hell, what an amazing blues band they were, deep down. Like the Stones but more heartfelt. Imagine being in the crowd for that one. So raw.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.
The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

David Lammy was right in 2020 when he called the jury system fundamental to our constitution.
Now the government wants to remove juries from all but the most serious cases. It is dangerous and wrong and the Prime Minister must reverse it.

What a creature of the night Jenrick is, but I do worry about this proposal from the govt. It’s awful!
🔴 Robert Jenrick MP is asking an urgent question: "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will make a statement on the Government’s reported plans to further restrict the right to trial by jury for almost all offences."

I agree with the Liberal Democrats on their customs union proposal. I suspect that even Michael Gove thinks Brexit has been a disaster for our economy; he just won’t admit it publicly. We don’t need to rejoin the EU, but a customs union with the EU would boost the economy & benefit everyone.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.
