Yesterday in Westminster Hall I spoke up for leaseholders facing astronomical service charges whilst living in unsafe buildings.
This is a truly national scandal - and the Govt's Building Safety Levy isn't going to be enough to fix it.
Leaseholders shouldn't have to pay a penny to remove cladding.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:
“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”
How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.
Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris): There is so much more to a sea otter than meets the eye. By munching on urchins, it helps kelp forests flourish, and by crunching on crabs, it promotes eelgrass in estuaries. This mammal has the thickest of fur per square inch and is native to Pacific coasts. #seaotter
