we really do need to worry about what Reform might to do to our medicines and vaccine regulation if they get into power

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

Not just the elderly! Several other reasons why some people are digitally excluded.
If you’ve ever helped an elderly neighbour navigate a banking app, call a helpline or read a tiny screen – you’ve witnessed digital exclusion first-hand. We must stop designing customer service systems that exclude.

Stay young – the online world isn’t designed for the old
Technology should empower, not exclude. For many, ageing means lost independence in a digital online world built without them in mind

We're facing a summer of traffic and tailbacks in Ipswich.

It didn't have to be like this, but the Suffolk Conservatives chose to block the Northern Bypass with no credible alternative.

Their 'do nothing' approach has led us to breaking point.

It's time to Back the Bypass and get Ipswich moving.

Despite Reform’s surge, the overall swing in local elections in the East of England region was toward the broad left. Don’t let the media noise fool you. The right didn’t advance - it fragmented. Here’s how ⤵️ | Stephen McNair

The right is not rising in the East
Reform may have seized the Conservatives’ mantle in the local elections, but this is not a rise of the right in the East

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

At today's #PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to back the builders in Ipswich, and make the Northern Bypass a project of national significance.

After years of being kicked into the long grass, I'm determined to finally get this crucial infrastructure scheme moving.

Years of inertia regarding the Orwell Bridge and a Northern Bypass is hurting both Ipswich and Suffolk.

That's why I'm urging the Government to elevate it out of the local political quagmire, and give it the attention it deserves by designating it as nationally significant infrastructure.

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen

The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.
