✅ The two neo-Nazi groups included in this Statutory Instrument clearly meet the threshold. ⚠️ But Palestine Action? The legal case is shaky. ❌ Proscription isn’t a substitute for prosecution. Terror laws must stick—not unravel in court. [2/3].

🗳️ Tonight I abstained on the vote to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group—by walking through both the Aye and No lobbies. Why?. [1/3]

We’ve heard this before: a rogue state, WMDs, talk of regime change. In 2003, it led to 100,000+ civilians dead, 179 British troops lost, and chaos that birthed ISIS. Now the drums beat again—this time for Iran. We must remember. And we must ask: what comes next?. #Iran #Iraq

“Secret tribunals” for clergy misconduct?. I raised the alarm last week in Parliament. Now @guardian is reporting. This isn’t just bad policy — it’s a PR disaster in the making. #ClergyConduct #EcclesiasticalCommittee #Accountability #HolyRedTape.

Today in Parliament, I called out false claims about a so-called grooming gangs inquiry. The Tory “wrecking amendment” on 8 Jan couldn’t deliver an inquiry—only block a child protection bill and scrap vital safeguards from the Jay Inquiry. Misleading the public is reckless.

As sure as night follows day. PS. Employers already can ban burkas if they impact upon health and safety or clear communication.

Not on your nelly. After years of pumping sewage into our rivers—and £billions plundered by investors—Thames Water should now slip quietly into receivership and be refashioned as a Public Benefit Company. One that serves people and planet, not shareholders. #PlanetBeforeProfit

Out in Parkside & Heatherside with Cllrs Nirmal Kang & Rob Lee — chatting to residents & celebrating new local businesses. Great to meet so many I’ve already heard from since July — and to try a flat white from Heatherside’s new “caffeine dealer” at the gleaming Café Lux. ☕
