Bulgaria’s government resigned after massive anti-corruption protests. More than 100,000 people filled the streets in Sofia, with tens of thousands more nationwide, forcing the coalition to step down amid public fury over corruption. Gen Z led the charge.

Economists now agree on the direction of travel: Brexit has made the UK poorer and it's getting worse — lower growth, less investment, and a widening gap.
If we’re serious about growth and funding our public services, we need to be in a customs union.

Great to join Save the Children in Parliament recently with fellow MP, Kim Leadbeater. While we enjoy the magic of Christmas, many children across the UK and the world go without basics. If you can, please consider donating this Christmas.

Ahead of the publication of the Government’s National Plan to End Homelessness, I asked the Minister of State about the support which will be offered to those in Glastonbury exploited by unscrupulous ‘vanlords.’ I look forward to meeting with her in the new year to discuss solutions to this crisis.

The family farm tax was flawed from the start, hurting real farmers while letting big investors off the hook.
