Good to see @dailymail.co.uk @thetimes.com and @telegraphnews.bsky.social all delete their articles - sad the lies went up in the first place
Totally untrue garbage from @thetimes.com & @dailymail.co.uk today - smear dressed up as journalism. Some facts:
- There is no “£900 desk”
- my constituency office has Ikea desks/chairs
- we significantly underspent the new MPs allowance to set up an office

Treasury minister leading budget plans spent £900 on desk
Torsten Bell, who is working with Rachel Reeves to fill a £30 billion hole in finances, also used his parliamentary expenses to claim £600 for three chairs

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Researching the latest More Jam Tomorrow, I was struck by what an amazing thing it was for the Home Office to support prisoners who wanted to study – which was impossible before the Open University was founded.
Just the most decent and humanitarian thing to do.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.
Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

Interesting inflection point. Seems to come around the time faith in mainstream politics really came undone
Did you know this was a thing?
A sustained majority of people now back electoral reform, and the rising trend doesn't show any sign of stopping.
This isn't just a by-product of more people now supporting challenger parties, e.g. Reform. It's supported by a majority of voters across all parties.

If you have a son and have ever spoken about needing positive masculine role models, take him to the Superman film.
There was something surprisingly cathartic about seeing a hero be unironically heroic.
