We are seeing espionage in British waters from Russia with spying, sabotage of internet cables and undersea pipelines, underwater drones and surveillance equipment.

We need heavy sanctions on this fleet and to secure our seas.

The assisted dying bill has passed its first major hurdle in the House of Commons.

This is a step towards greater choice at the end of life.

🦉 We need to bring nature back to more areas of the UK.

🦌 It is time to increase the number of rewilded areas.

🌳 This will increase biodiversity and allow us to increase wildlife.

This is not only correct but is backed up by other countries.

@centrethinktank.co.uk looked at states within Australia and America that have assisted dying systems in place. In these areas, investment in palliative care increased and support for the systems grew.
EXCLUSIVE: Palliative Care Minister Stephen Kinnock tells me he will vote for assisted dying, contrary to Health Secretary Wes Streeting’s concerns.

He believes there is no conflict between good palliative care and assisted dying and that it is possible to have both.

🏘️ We need to support more people to own their own homes.

🏡 That means building more homes and using help to buy to support those purchasing their first homes.

🏚️ Help to buy should also be available for both new and old homes.

The assisted dying bill has the strictest safeguards in the world.

These include checks against coercion or pressure, a code of practice, robust doctor training, and approval from two independent doctors and a High Court judge.

Reforming the NHS
“The NHS must reform or die.” Ominous words indeed from a Labour prime minister less than 100 days into his premiership.
