For all its faults, the BBC isn’t just a broadcaster — it’s part of our national culture and a pillar of our resilience in the information wars. Those who seek its destruction do our enemies’ work. We’d lose it at our collective peril. #BBC

We’ve heard this before: a rogue state, WMDs, talk of regime change.
In 2003, it led to 100,000+ civilians dead, 179 British troops lost, and chaos that birthed ISIS.
Now the drums beat again—this time for Iran. We must remember. And we must ask: what comes next?

Today in Parliament, I called out false claims about a so-called grooming gangs inquiry. The Tory “wrecking amendment” on 8 Jan couldn’t deliver an inquiry—only block a child protection bill and scrap vital safeguards from the Jay Inquiry. Misleading the public on this is reckless and wrong.

First the US ceases offensive cyber-ops against Russia. Then the top political brass in US openly share sensitive intel while plugged into Russian networks.

More than 1800 kids with SEND missed 1/3 of their schooling last year in Surrey.
EHCPs come back with incorrect names, describe incorrect conditions, and offer woefully inadequate support. Schools are at breaking point.
Yet, Surrey County Council blames Surrey parents for being “too articulate”.
