Smith was found by the Standards Committee to have ‘been in breach of the rules’ for four consecutive years. In the real world that’s breaking the law. She knowingly fiddled her expenses for four years. And here

Even more questions now about Quadrature Capital, Palantir and Peter Mandelson. The questions are ultimately about who has bought and paid for this Labour Government?

Matthew Doyle case shows how stupid system is for appointing people to House of Lords - for life. Lords Appointments Commission is totally useless. Proposed peers should be subject to 4 months public scrutiny BEFORE confirmation, not after. Transparency is best disinfectant.

HOLY SHIT and I don't say that very often... At the behest of the water industry the Department for Works and Pensions has deducted £22.4 MILLION from people's Universal Credit payments simply to pay arrears to water companies. The arrogance and greed of these companies knows

The anmount of Tax avoided by Jim Ratcliffe's move to Monaco could pay for an extra 120,000 NHS nurses. It's not immigrants that are the problem. It's billionaires.

In recent weeks I’ve written 3 times to the General Secretary of the Labour Party to call for an independent inquiry into this. I copied Keir Starmer into each request. Clear to me as Secretary of the NUJ’s Parliamentary Group if true this is unacceptable. archive.is/2026.02.14-204…
