The #NHS faces the worst crisis in its 80-year history. This is result of deliberate #Tory under-funding (now continuing under #Labour) that’s seen the NHS undermined & at risk of collapse paving the way for further #privatisation

I was heckled by another MP while asking about inclusive relationship education in schools
Sickened but not really surprised that homophobia is alive and well on the bench behind me
'They're primary school kids' he says - as if no primary school kids have lesbian or gay parents!

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.
When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.
He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.
The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

Joseph Goebbels never won a Nobel Prize.
In 1943, Knut Hamsun simply gave him the medal he’d been awarded in 1920.
That distinction gets lost surprisingly often.

What is uncomfortable is the hypocrisy of those supporting genocide in Gaza while pretending to be champions of human rights.

Nadhim Zahawi and family fled to the UK from Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a child refugee in 1978. Unable to speak English when he arrived, he became a hugely successful businessman and an MP before serving as Chancellor of the Exchequor.
His origin story is the very antithesis of the Reform narrative.
