I was due on Have I got News for You.

Question Time invited me to immigration special in Dover.

We spoke to HIGNFY producers. "Makes total sense! Come on in 2026 instead!"

Ian Hislop probably didn't hear that but just for the record on the facts!

This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

“The majority of disabled people support assisted dying.”
Sir Tom Shakespeare said the Bill is more compassionate and safer than the current law — and evidence from countries where assisted dying for terminally ill adults is legal shows that these laws work safely.

The curse of Thatcherism was not just greed. It was short-termism disguised as freedom. Privatisation made millionaires from share prices and dividends, while leaving millions in cold, costly poverty. A quarter of every bill now feeds profit, not service.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

How can potential Reform UK voters be won back?

YouGov, commissioned by B4B, asked 3,000 people planning or considering voting for Reform UK which criticisms of Farage and Reform UK would make them reconsider.

Common sense politics isn’t scapegoating minorities - it’s building homes, funding health and education, tackling pollution, investing in clean energy, and making sure people don’t have to choose between heating and eating. Anything else is cowardice dressed as conviction.
