At this time of year it becomes even more essential that we should remember that we have more in common than that which divides us.
Reason, compassion, and an unwavering belief in the dignity of every human being.

As a man of the people, I will always defend trail hunting, which I know is a top priority for all my working class constituents who own horses and enjoy simple pleasures like ripping foxes apart for laughs.

Frankly, if the worst the rich have got to complain about is VAT on public school fees and a ban on fox hunting, they're doing pretty bloody well

The Employment Rights Bill has passed and will become law. As the voice of the working classes, I voted against this bill because I know the last thing people want is sick pay, paternity leave or protection from dismissal, harassment and exploitative zero hour contracts.

When Nigel Farage says "Never trust a Tory", does he mean the endless amount of Conservative defectors to Reform UK? 😬

We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Gullis to Reform UK. I had to calm down Lee Anderson, who was concerned that he may no longer be the thickest twat in the party.

Preventable deaths were in their hands.
They will not return to us.
Yet those who were in charge live on, rich, carefree & unpunished.
Shame on you all.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Another chilling aspect... The Tories simply passed a law declaring Rwanda "safe".
Do we really trust that this govt or the next won't resort to similar tactics if this finds them politically convenient?

But more to the point - offering asylum to people fleeing war or torture or persecution is what decent nations do. It's what defines us. Without that it's just a race to the bottom.

Queen would have been without a front man
The other queen wouldn't have had a husband
Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

Voters want both: homes built and wildlife protected.
MPs should listen to the public, not a false "nature vs growth" narrative.
If nature loses at this stage, it will be because they chose not to protect it.
