Danny Kruger is challenged on the terrible performance of Reform UK-led councils.
Ken Clarke: "Some of the people elected didn't even know that it sat during the day. So they resigned quite quickly."
"Most of them had no idea what the county council was responsible for."

I think a lot of people forget some of the political realities of the 1970s- deaths on roads were much higher, many women were written off attending university or starting a career & many diseases were a death sentence.
A lot has improved over the past 50 years!

Why I want the Government to abolish the two child limit.
Nearly 10,000 families in my constituency alone are being hit by the two child limit.
It pushes families into poverty, pushes extra costs onto the NHS, schools & councils & causes huge levels of harm. 1/4

Ruth Cadbury: Why I want the government to abolish the two child limit
Labour MP Ruth Cadbury argues the 'deeply unfair' two-child limit is driving 10,000 local children into poverty. She calls for abolition to lift 350,000 children out of destitution.

It's very bizarre that the UK is one of the few democracies which to my knowledge still imposes religious tests on office holders.

This is really important chart about the impact that social media algorithms have; I have noticed in the last year more and more constituents emailing me about stories that are completely factually untrue and they often tell me they saw it on facebook, instagram or youtube.
