Here we go again. Rueful & Co will be trying to take over again but you know what to do to stop them. Don’t ignore your emails from the NT with links to votes. Don’t split the vote (easiest to select the NT preferred selection of both members & motions) And get all family members to vote too!

The man who has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has in his entire lifetime never says anything positive about his guy Ken Paxton. But he does serve up a steady diet of this stuff.

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

It’s exactly this kind of behaviour which undermines trust in Parliament and which I was keen to call out in last week’s House of Lords reform debate in Westminster Hall. Check out my contribution here ⬇️

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Israeli settlers, all men, brutally attacked a US journalist, a woman, in an attempted lynching. The Israeli military provided the attackers with cover using tear gas and machine gun fire. Palestinians intervened to rescue her from being beaten to death.
