Ahead of the Sept 6 Brussels rally, proudly declare my support for freedom & democracy for the people of Iran. I condemn the brutality of a regime that kills to hold on to power. Europe's appeasement of the regime must end, it's time to support democracy with courage & principle.

A reminder to @BBCNews to educate its broadcasters that the Princess of Wales has not been 'Kate Middleton' since 2011. Her correct title is Catherine, Princess of Wales. Get it right.

I have received so many good wishes and kind words for which I am deeply grateful, from so many and those who are among the thousands who have experienced loss both during this pandemic, as well as before and after. I extend my thanks and best wishes to you all.

Outrageous ruling. The SAS were doing their job - stopping terrorists in their tracks.

An inquest has ruled the use of lethal force by SAS soldiers was unjustified when they opened fire killing four IRA men in an ambush at Clonoe in County Tyrone in 1992. bbc.in/3WNl2VG

Today I have written to the PPS and PSNI to ask for assurance that full disclosure of all facts, evidence and relevant information to the investigation of the tragic death of young Noah Donohue will be made and that PIIs will not form part of the process seeking justice for Noah.

I oppose this Bill even more strongly than before after this result.

MPs have voted down an amendment to protect people with Down’s syndrome in the Assisted Dying Bill😢 Several organisations representing people with Down’s syndrome made clear an explicit protection in the Bill… 🧵1/3

Under no circumstances will I be voting for this cold, clinical process for ending a person's life.

Less than 3 weeks before it's due to be debated, Kim Leadbeater MP has finally published the text of her assisted suicide bill. It's 38 pages long, has 43 clauses and 6 schedules. MPs will have a maximum of five hours to debate it. bills.parliament.uk/bills/3774/pub…

I'm horrified by the brutal massacre of 70 Christians in their church in DRC. This is pure evil. I ask Christians everywhere to pray for the church in Lumbero & for vulnerable civilians in DRC where armed groups are operating. Govts at all levels must address this violence.

Today I am presenting an application for a Westminster Hall debate on the awarding of the posthumous Victorian Cross to Lieutenant Colonel Robert Blair Mayne, DSO. The support for this is fantastic and I thank all those who been in touch. We'll keep at it💪

Anything less than Level 6 redress by @DWPgovuk for the #waspiwomen is unacceptable. I pay tribute to the women for their tenacity, for not 'going away'. Especially to those women no longer here, for whom the findings came too late. We will fight on for you.

Never forget when the First Minister of Northern Ireland criticises Israel for its actions, that she once claimed there was no alternative to what was done to these two children by her fellow Irish republicans.

2 bombs left in rubbish bins by the IRA in Warrington, over 50 injured and 2 children killed. 3yr old Jonathan Ball and 12 yr old Tim Parry. Michelle O'Neil says there was no alternative. Thoughts with their families and friends today and always. Lest We Forget .

I very much welcome the findings of the @PHSOmbudsman which vindicates the long, hard fought #WaspiWomen campaign. I now call on the government to compensate, apologise and apply this remedy to all affected women across the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Tens of 1000s raised their voices in Brussels on Saturday against rising executions in Iran. The Iranian people demand change. They reject all form of dictatorship. It's vital that this message is heard widely across the world & inside Iran. Stand with the people for a #FreeIran!

I announce my political sponsorship of Behrouz Ehsani, 70, & Mehdi Hassani, 48, who were arrested, subjected to severe torture & sentenced to death in Iran. This execution-driven regime knows nothing else. I support the Iranian Resistance in urging a call to stop these executions
