15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

Congressional oversight means nothing if agencies can spy on critics with zero accountability.

Pam Bondi’s testimony showed exactly why we need real accountability in Washington. My Trump Accountability Plan lays out immediate steps Congress can take right now: use inherent contempt to enforce oversight and make the AG independent from presidential control. The rule of law must come first.

But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

The FBI seizing state election records isn’t routine. It’s a stress test for federal interference in 2026. If Congress doesn’t act now to raise the bar, what happened in Georgia won’t be the last rehearsal.
