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

Oscar Wilde's quote is as valid now as then,
"the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable"
They truly are the worst of us.

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.

BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament. Its new rights will be transformational.

This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement. Let's celebrate 🎉

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.

When a Labour government sees the approval of Tommy Robinson as more important that the approval of the Labour Party membership, things are probably going wrong

Human rights are universal, they don’t just protect the most vulnerable and weakest,they protect all of us.

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?

There is absolutely nothing "hard" or "tough" about targeting the poorest, most vulnerable.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

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.

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

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

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

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.

Help stop the Planning and Infrastructure Bill tearing up nature protections
I've just emailed my MP and asked them to vote to protect nature in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Will you take action too?
