- I agree with Julian. Words matter. What we say & how we say it echoes out far beyond Parliament. It can have serious real world consequences. Elected representatives have a responsibility to lower the temperature of debate, not add fuel to the fire.What happened to Keir Starmer tonight outside parliament is appalling. It is really important for our democracy & for his security that the false Savile slurs made against him are withdrawn in full.

- Some people, at the very highest levels of government and policing, don’t seem to grasp that public trust is hanging by a thread.BREAKING: Southport stabbings suspect faces separate terror charge after ricin and al Qaeda manual found at home news.sky.com/story/southpor…
- Yesterday, Sir David Amess MP was murdered while doing his job, holding a surgery to help to his constituents. This morning, I’ll be going ahead with my weekly help & advice surgery. I’ll be on Market Street in New Mills from 10:30am. No appointment needed. Do come and say hello
- This is untenable. You cannot freeze benefits and pensions while cutting taxes for millionaires. A debt reduction plan needs to be both economically and politically sustainable to be credible.
- My James Bond take is that the only way to rescue the franchise is to completely reset it back to the early 1950s. Proper Cold War. Period aesthetics. Ends the plot dominance of technology. Avoids tedious contemporary fluff. Focus it back on proper plot-driven storytelling.Who’d you pick as the next Bond?
