Today, #LibDem colleagues and I voted against ending the VAT exemption on private school fees because we believe in protecting parental choice and opposing the taxation of education.

How is this possible? A year of London being filled with terrorists and their sympathisers, a year of the Met denying two-tier policing… this is literally the most prominent issue the police have had to deal with. If they genuinely don’t know by now that Hezbollah are

THE STATE OF PRIVATE EQUITY IN 2024 (WITH DATA): My oh my has this been a fascinating year. LOYAL readers of my work will have remembered that I was somewhat concerned about a few things in the market...namely the weird confluence of dry powder, longer holding times, higher

Following my meeting on Monday with the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson my open letter to her is below and here: spectator.co.uk/article/what-i… My first open letter to her on 17 Jan is here: spectator.co.uk/article/what-p…

Everyone should read this letter. Bridget Phillipson is woefully out of her depth. x.com/miss_snuffy/st…

Over nine million people in the UK are economically inactive - an absolutely staggering figure. The entire benefits system needs to be scrapped, with only a safety net for those genuinely unable to work. This is simply unsustainable.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

"We must support Ukraine over the Trump-Putin stitch-up. "It's disappointing that other parties, like Reform, have remained silent on this, choosing to lick the boots of President Trump." Ed Davey

Over the past few hours, I have spoken with Ursula von der Leyen, António Costa, Olaf Scholz, Keir Starmer, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Orbán Viktor. Following discussions over the past few days with European colleagues and allies, we are committed to ensuring that peace returns to Ukraine

A historic, shameful moment in US history as it votes with Belarus, Russia at the UN. The gamekeeper has become the poacher. Churchill & Roosevelt turn in their graves.

"Will the government seize frozen Russian assets and repurpose them to support Ukraine in the wake of Trump's talks with Putin?" Alison Bennett secures a commitment from the foreign secretary to seize Russian assets.

The level of intra-EU co-ordination we are seeing in response to Trump 2.0 is exceptional and unprecedented Thanks in large part to António Costa So much for the (tired) view that political fragmentation is always more likely than unity

A real win for me this week was when the Foreign Secretary backed my call to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine

Race or religion must make NO difference in an individual's sentencing. ALL must be treated equally under the law, that includes white British men. Labour are taking us down a very dark, and a very dangerous path. I have deep fears over what is happening to our country.

Under Two-Tier Keir, that’s exactly what’s happening. It’s completely outrageous. This would enshrine an anti-white and anti-Christian bias in our criminal justice system👇

The Justice Secretary is trying to play dumb. I’ve read the minutes of the meeting it was agreed and her “personal representative” was there. No objections were minuted. This is the Labour Party’s policy under Two-Tier Kier.

Notre génération ne touchera plus les dividendes de la paix. Il ne tient qu’à nous que nos enfants récoltent demain les dividendes de nos engagements. Alors nous ferons face, ensemble.
