The cuts being made at the BBC are unforgivable. They are putting it into a death spiral. The weaker it gets, the less people will want to support it. And yes, this is an issue for the Government, which likes to pretend it's not their problem. It is.

Back in November 2025, I looked at OfS research on student consumer rights and argued that, despite robust regulation on paper, students feel powerless when universities fall short – and have already concluded that complaining is futile wonkhe.com/blogs/studen...

#RestoreFOM #FreedomOfMovement
Freedom of Movement didn't just allow Europeans to come to Britain. It allowed British entrepreneurs to start businesses across Europe too. British workers could follow opportunities. British firms could recruit expertise. Why discuss only arrivals when it worked both ways?

The British syndrome, summarised: 78% of us say our high streets are important to us. But only 28% of us actually use their local high street even once a week – and only 53% of people said they used theirs *once a month*. We won't use it, and we won't lose it.

“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇
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.

Farage, responsible for inflicting the Brexit disaster on the country, now campaigns with the slogan '100 days to save Britain' 🤦♂️ Farage, who insisted the only way to get migration under control was by leaving the EU now insists that leaving the ECHR is the only way to get migration under control 🤦♂️

Has anyone seen Mr Hegseth? We know that Musk and Trump are supporting Russia, it seems that Hegseth is as well
In particular, for almost a month we have been waiting for Mr. Hegseth's signature on missiles for "Patriots" and "Nasams". I instructed to discuss this with the American side again. Separately, preparations for the Ramstein meeting in November were discussed.
