My views are my personal views only.
What a creature of the night Jenrick is, but I do worry about this proposal from the govt. It’s awful!
🔴 Robert Jenrick MP is asking an urgent question: "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will make a statement on the Government’s reported plans to further restrict the right to trial by jury for almost all offences."

I agree with the Liberal Democrats on their customs union proposal. I suspect that even Michael Gove thinks Brexit has been a disaster for our economy; he just won’t admit it publicly. We don’t need to rejoin the EU, but a customs union with the EU would boost the economy & benefit everyone.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales jailed for over 10 years. Nathan Gill took bribes to make pro-Russian statements when he was an MEP. Reform have described Gill’s behaviour as “treasonous” and welcomed his custodial sentence.

There can be no national renewal without renewal of the Commonwealth, and no true renewal without a domain in space, where the contradictions of capitalism are transcended, our resources multiplied, and a future of abundance, prosperity, and freedom begins.
