5 Jun 2026Health & NHScelebratory“We urgently need a new St Mary's Hospital, and I'm pleased that this government has committed £50 million to get the project back on track.

4 Jun 2026Otherangry“Their policy on cryptocurrency has been brought and paid for by the industry, including the £5M undeclared gift to Nigel Farage. Their policies are a mess and unravel with the lightest of scrutiny.”↗

29 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Trust in politics is fundamental to what we all want, which is effective government changing peoples' lives for the better. The only way to rebuild that trust is to do politics differently, including reforms that give more power to people and shine a light on those subverting our democracy.”↗
29 May 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“One of the lesser spotted things Tony Blair gets wrong in his essay is his assertion that: "The challenge of democracy is not transparency, honesty or conspiracy theories about the hidden power of elites."”↗
