He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Today, Lee Anderson MP wrote a post on X that breaks sub judice rules and is in contempt of court, about a live criminal case. He was warned to be careful about what he said publicly by Notts Police. He ignored that advice. I have written to the AG and Lord Chancellor informing them of his contempt.

Labour are right to lower the voting age.
But if they're truly serious about creating a fair democracy:
Time to abolish the unelected House of Lords.
