The PM must hold a vote of confidence of his own MPs, and if they have lost confidence, Starmer should step aside. The British public deserve better.

she could take over a decade of "Left wing hatred" without needing security, but less than a month of right wing hatred made her hire security and resign.
even the right knows who the violent extremists are.

The Warm Home Discount is a temporary fix. I've called on the Government to commit to long-term solutions, including an emergency home upgrade programme with proper heat pump incentives that cover real costs.
We need action to end fuel poverty now.

Today's AWS Outage is yet more evidence that the hyper-centralisation of the web is dangerous, puts too much power in the hands of a tiny few, and leaves us far too vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Donald Trump's militarization of our city streets isn't about fighting crime or public safety β it's about consolidating power in his hands.
What he plans to do with that, now or during the 2026 elections, should worry all of us.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked β what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers β what would we say?
Authoritarianism β letβs not pretend itβs something else when it happens in our American cities.

I'm worried the new DNA database ethical issues really are not at the front of government thinking. It's important that consent issues are not an after thought!

Violent criminals could be let out early for good behaviour under new proposals
The landmark sentencing review calls for fewer custodial sentences and earlier prison releases.
It's 2025, not 1952. That a current UK government - and a Labour government at that - is seriously proposing this should send a chill down the spine of everyone who values civil rights and understands history.
This should have no place in a civilised society.

Paddington bear lifting a MAGA hat, with the caption 'don't let Trump get his paws on our Great British film industry.'
The world-leading British film industry is facing an existential threat from Trump's Film Tariffs.
The government must keep all options on the table to protect British jobs and national treasures like Paddington and Bond, including working with allies to draw up retaliatory tariffs.
