    Today I am remembering PC Andrew Harper, killed on duty on this day three years ago. Thinking of Lissie and of all who knew him best and loved him most. Rest peacefully mighty man.

    On March 1st, a white teenage girl was stabbed to death in London. In the days that followed, I lost count of the number of calls I had, asking for media interviews. On March 22nd, a black teenage boy was stabbed to death in London. And I haven’t had a single call from the press.

    In red - people who agree with Nigel Farage. In green - people who disagree with Nigel Farage. This is who we really are…

    I don't want a 2p cut to National Insurance. I want a country that isn't broken.

    I find Covid and lockdown and grief and uncertainty incredibly challenging, but... I wear my mask I keep my distance I wash my hands I work from home I’ve had my first jab And I don’t attack police officers.

    I am English. I am White. I am Christian. And, with every breath in my body and every fibre of my being, I stand opposed to hate-filled, racist rioters and every single person who incites and enables them.

    An off duty Special Constable has given Glenn Hoddle a fighting chance... An on duty Police Constable risked his own life in an attempt to rescue the occupants of a crashed helicopter... They represent the very best of who we are and what we can be.
