I remain in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, now three years into battling Russia’s brutal invasion. Putin is a tyrant, and his lies must not be amplified. The UK must do more: tighten sanctions, support refugees, and stand firm in defending democracy and Ukraine’s future.

Labour’s 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents. Profiteering, high debt, substandard service, tax dodges are private equity norm. Let councils, not-for-profit organizations build homes. Don't deregulate. Build homes, not slums.
