The Home Office’s treatment of the Windrush generation shamed our country. We will make sure the voices of the Windrush community are heard and systemic changes are made. It is time for a fundamental re-set. It is time to right the wrongs of Windrush. My piece in the

Once this trial is over, Gisele Pelicot should receive every honour in France and the International Women’s award. What she says about shame shouldn’t need saying but she’s used her darkest hours and a global spotlight to do so. She’s extraordinary.

Christopher Chope is not a serious person. No one should be surprised by stupidity it's a regular occurrence. Luckily he's as influential as an empty space.

Kemi Badenoch has three children. Her youngest child is 5, her oldest is 11. Robert Jenrick has three children. His youngest child is 8, his oldest is 12. But obviously her situation is totally different from his and makes her too ditzy and distracted to be party leader 🤷‍♀️

Christopher Chope accuses critics of "mischief-making" and stands by what he said about Kemi Badenoch. He tells @TimesRadio: "I repeat the point which I was making before, and that is that Kemi has got a young family and so it's less likely that she's going to be able to spend

No woman should ever face harassment or intimidation for going to a healthcare appointment. Nearly ten years ago in Opposition, I called on the Government to introduce buffer zones round abortion clinics. Now in Government we are acting. On 31 October, it will become the law.
