It was an honour to close the fourth debate of today’s Annual Sitting, discussing political literacy. I thank all the SE MYPs for electing me to the prestigious position, and to all staff involved in the organisation of this great event.

An incredible retraction on on the Daily Telegraph website today. They’ve apologised for publishing an article headlined “We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t afford to go on five holidays.” Why? Because the family in question doesn’t actually seem to

Post-modern war is here. No unifying narrative. Why are we at war? Who with? Is it a good idea? When did it start? Is this even a war? No one agrees on anything.

Journalists are slowly waking up to the damage done to the British military since 2010. As usual, the British media is 10 steps behind.

Reports of an attack at RAF Akrotiri is deeply concerning. Akrotiri and Dhekelia are not just military bases - they are a full, sovereign, UK Overseas Territory with a civilian population. Our thoughts are with all British personnel stationed there, and local people affected.

It's possible to be anti-Putin, anti-Trump, anti-Netanyahu and anti-the current regime in Iran.

Watching Americans insult Europe (a tradition by now) for not assisting in Iran after the White House mocked European NATO veterans, aligned itself with Moscow, and abandoned Ukraine along with NATO’s entire eastern flank is… pretty rich.

It was understandable for them to be upset at hearing a racial slur. But a week later, after they’ve been told it wasn’t intentional and the man has an uncontrollable neurological disability, it’s no longer understandable. For them to stand on stage mocking him is abhorrent.

When John Davidson was 16 years old he talked about killing himself because he felt humiliated by his disability and frustrated by the harm it caused. To have the NAACP Awards openly mocking him for his disability is evil, mean spirited, calloused and ableist.

🚨 BREAKING: Explosions have been reported at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus after the UK gave permission for the US to use its bases

Who actually runs @SkyNews? Just seen a live interview with an Israeli far-right minister who went unchallenged saying "Iran are monsters for these 9 deaths" - with no mention Israel attacked Iran first - killing over 90 school children. The UK deserves better than this.

From today, more people can qualify for a Disabled Persons Railcard and enjoy 1/3 off rail travel across Great Britain! Fun fact: a Disabled Person’s Railcard doesn’t just save you money, it also gives 1/3 off for one accompanying adult travelling with you. Check if you’re

This is how the BBC does it. Persistent ticker announcing one death in Tel Aviv, and no word on the more than 100 schoolgirls killed in Iran as a result of an Israeli missile strike. https://t.co/Tj5DnCddnm

'Aren't Arabs terrified? Don't Arab women weep when their children are bombed?' Tony Benn remains as relevant as ever.

As I said this morning, I'm against the US being the world police. We should not always be responsible for regime change around the world. At the same time: You're out of your mind if you think I'm mourning this horrible dictator. Good riddance.

✍️ 'A man with a disability was invited to the Baftas to help throw a spotlight on a film intended to promote better understanding of Tourette’s, only to be criticised by those displaying their own ignorance of the condition. Don’t disabled lives matter?' | Writes @CamillaTominey

Considering the last week, a room full of millionaires mocking a working class caretaker with Tourette’s is not a good look. It is not brave. It is not edgy. It is punching down at a disabled man who cannot control his neurological condition. After everything he has endured, that

Today marks the first day of meteorological spring 🌷 March has arrived, and with it comes longer, lighter days. Over the next few weeks most of us will enjoy around two extra hours of daylight ☀️

We have no mutual defence treaty with Israel. What has Israel ever done for the UK? Well they bombed the King David Hotel killing 98 British personnel. They supplied arms to Argentina in the Falklands War so I guess they must be an ally?

🚨🇮🇷 CONFIRMED: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been assassinated Khamenei, 86, had served as Iran’s Supreme Leader since 1989 He was Iran’s second ever Supreme Leader and was, at the time of his death, the longest-serving head of state in the Middle East
