Passionate about democratic reform and a fair compassionate society. LibDem, Community Councillor and Humanist. Citizen, not subject. Views are personal.
I just donated to the Good Law Project for their latest challenge to reform. I'm a regular supporter because I think it's important that political parties are held to account generally. But specifically, I think Reform break every rule and don't give a damn.

The Government must seize the tens of billions of pounds worth of Russian assets in our country and use them to support Ukraine.

We will gain nothing from sitting in silence and hoping that he does not pick on us. We must stand up for Britain and stand with our European allies.

It's alarming to see the leader of the free world parroting Putin's propaganda. Trump spoke in Mar-a-Lago but his words could have been written in Moscow.
