“My 2023 open letter to the BBC about Question Time, read by more than 300,000 people in 144 countries, was widely reported in the media. It even informed questions posed to the BBC’s director general Tim Davie at a parliamentary select committee.”

No one should spend 12 years in jail for stealing a mobile phone

Lord Woodley’s Bill to end the cruel & monumental injustice of the #IPPscandal has passed its 2nd Reading. Question now is will the Prime Minister do the right thing & give the Bill government time for a full & proper Committee Stage?
If passed Lord Woodley’s Bill will end one of the most shocking & monumental injustices of the past half century - the #IPPscandal & head off the medium-term prison capacity crisis at the same time.

Let’s not wait for the next ITV drama to do what’s right

Please read this sorry tale of woes and waste. I would say unbelievable, but it is exactly the opposite.
In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme

I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

There's a new craze in bookshops around the UK...

...namely placing Boris Johnson's new memoir next to other books on lying and/or Brexit damage - or even alongside toilet paper and cat litter...

Enjoy the pics! 👇

Next time you hear Wes Streeting talking about how he won’t sign blank cheques for the NHS, please remember this graph. We really don’t have enough doctors Wes, and getting more will require hefty investment 🚨🚨🚨
