Proud to co-sponsor @yasminqureshimp.bsky.social's Bill which would give councils stronger powers to control excessive firework noise.
This is a real issue for many in Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton; they deserve action which cracks down on fireworks to keep them safe & respectful for everyone.

When symbolic stories overshadow material improvements, democracy becomes theatre, not governance. Raising wages, cutting waiting lists, expanding renewables — all less clickable than “minor scandal”. Stephen McNair reports

‘Treading lightly’: was it really what we wanted?
Opinion polls show that Keir Starmer is the least popular Prime Minister in living memory. But is he not doing what we said we wanted?

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.

This ruling is a joke.
PPE Medpro will go bankrupt and the Government won't get a penny.
Michelle Mone should have to pay the £122m personally.
RT if you want to see her pay it all back.

Voters need to be clear eyed about where to put their X.
Under FPTP, a vote is often used to prevent what the voter is against. It is not always a positive choice.
The choice in 2029 in my constituency will be between Labour and Reform. I know where I'll put my X.
