Sir Michael Palin was right on Newsnight to highlight the battle hospices are fighting to keep beds open in the face of the government's disastrous national insurance hike.

I was disappointed that the Leader of the House today declined my request for a debate in Parliament.

You've told me how fed up you are with rising bills, leaky pipes and hosepipe bans whilst housebuilding puts more pressure on our drinking water supplies.

Today I put those frustrations to the Secretary of State.

The government's removal of funding for the IB in state schools is catastrophic.

It's catastrophic for delivering a broad education post-16, and it's catastrophic for getting girls into STEM careers.

I look forward to hearing what the Minister has to say at our meeting.

I asked a Foreign Office minister what the government is doing about Chinese human rights violations in Hong Kong.

The government are more worried about upsetting China, than standing up for the rights of Hong Kongers.

Women going through the menopause deserve to be able to navigate it with the best possible information at their fingertips.

But a lack of government guidance means dangerous and unhelpful misinformation scatters the internet and social media - allowing tech giants to profit.

Today the government confirmed it will stop funding the International Baccalaureate.

I think this is wrong, entrenching a two-tier system.

So I was disappointed the Minister did not accept my invitation to visit Vardean College with me to discuss reversing the decision.
