On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

There’s been a string of left wing commentators having a go at the supposed underperformance of the Greens (latest was Owen Jones in the Guardian yesterday). It really frustrates me how poor that analysis is, so here’s my review of their claims. colinboyle.substack.com/p/what-the-g...

Magic Money Tree Rolls-Royce wants UK subsidies for new engine. Why can shareholders not fund it? Govt won't give repayable loan, won't take equity stake. Company will own resulting asset & income streams. Huge wealth transfer to private hands. Must check corporate welfare. archive.ph/ImPcN

Campaigning hard in a ward where there is a genuine alternative to the cruel and heartless Labour Party. No candidate can pin on that red rosette and absolve themselves from the inhumanity on display from a party who promised change. Municipal socialism? More like more cuts. #VoteGreen

With a £400k salary from the BBC Fiona Bruce denies being a wealthy individual... "I'm not sure you know how the BBC works". Clearly £400k not large amount in media circles. Perhaps she too lives pay check to pay check spending her whole salary on life's necessities

I had a brilliant time chatting to Gary last week for a few hours - really important conversation. It's baffling this is random group in Labour wanting to speak, rather than a senior minister. It shows the lack of urgency this government have in tackling the inequality crisis.

This is from a great discussion where Gary hits the nail on the head time after time, after time. Well worth a watch.

look it hasn’t worked the last 15 times but maybe this time a round of cuts to essential public services will lead to economic growth and prosperity

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has received £311,400 from private healthcare interests since entering Parliament. Could that be reason he's such a fan of private involvement in our health service? The Green Party is clear - private profit motive should be nowhere near the NHS.

I was invited as Environment Chair to this with Mayor & Thames Water. His team asked if I'd "pass my invitation" on to the deputy chair for gender diversity - who happens to be Labour. I suggested we both come to ensure gender & political diversity. See what happened next & why: 👇🏼
