Party leaders must unite to defend it.

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry.
He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone made £65m selling faulty PPE to the Government.
HMRC now wants £39m in unpaid tax — and we think we know why: Barrowman and Mone may have avoided tax on their £65m profit.
