Mark Carney draws a direct parallel between the US tariffs and the economic damage of Brexit. He did have a front row seat at the Bank of England, of course.

Awful scenes coming out of Gaza as Israeli govt announces its intention to seize more Palestinian territory and displace civilians yet again. The UK government is still shamefully complicit. We must stop arms sales, recognise Palestine, and hold those responsible accountable.

Prosecution of people who help clients evade tax in UK falls by 75% in five years. Less than 5 criminal cases in 2023-24, down from 16 in 2018-19 Data provided by Treasury to Parliament, in reply to my question, was inflated and incorrect. Govts soft on tax dodge industry.

“A year ago, Frances Ryan asked: What’s the point of Starmer’s Labour if it won’t stand up for poor, sick or disabled people? That is just one of the questions that many of us are beginning to ask.” Guardian readers on disability benefit cuts. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. It is - as Iraq was for Blair - the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. No Labour MP who backs this will be forgiven.

I have just asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election on April 28. We need to build the strongest economy in the G7. We need to deal with President Trump’s tariffs. Canadians deserve a choice about who should lead that effort for our country.

Difficult choices for who? The Prime Minister couldn't answer my question when I asked why he's choosing to make life harder for older people, children and disabled people instead of making the super-rich pay their fair share.

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

For Palestinians being killed and the future of human rights, we must keep calling out our Government’s complicity in this genocide. The UK has now issued more new arms licences than it pitifully suspended last year. Israel's violation of international law is our violation of international law.
