Talking about inflation, my water bill has gone up by 35% this year!! I can afford it, but for some who are in trouble in a cost-of-living crisis, this sort of increase on an essential, unavoidable utility would be the final straw.

Happy International Crumpet Day, to all who celebrate! I once overheard someone getting annoyed with his friend on the train and instead of saying “you’re getting on my tits” or “you’re pissing me off,” he said “you’re burning my crumpets” (and I will not rest until this becomes a common expression)

Writing this with a heavy heart: the refugee citizenship ban is the single most unconscionable policy Labour has proposed since it entered power. It’s the moment that I felt my support for this administration begin to crumble inews.co.uk/opinion/colu...

At #PMQs, I shared my constituents' frustration & lack of faith in the planning process. #Affordable homes are a dream for many, but can turn into a nightmare when you cannot travel easily, or get a #GP or dental appt. I will continue to call for targets for infrastructure.

Chemical & Engineering News gently questions Trump's strategy with regard to science funding cuts, yet still argues spending should be streamlined - just in a more thoughtful manner. Not a very robust critique given the exceptional circumstances and potential for damage. cen.acs.org/policy/Edito...

Disappointed to see a dog with cropped ears win best in show. Cropping ears is cruel - there's no benefit to the dog and it's a procedure carried out purely for cosmetic/fashion reasons. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
