People expect their tax £ to build hospitals, pay teachers, and put police on our streets - not line the pockets of fraudsters. We've used AI to stop more fraud than EVER - £484 million in a year. Fraudsters, watch out. https://t.co/ozrm3WNqU8

What needs to be done? Parliament needs more power. The state more accountable to ppl the public elects. The labyrinth of UK governance badly needs rationalising. Nobody knows who does what. Less of rights and treaties, more of powers and duties. Thankfully, we have

In my case, my constituents in Platt Bridge, Abram, and Bickershaw, in just a few square miles, have had a major fire and a major flood. Both were preventable and involved multiple state failures. https://t.co/eTOWqXAin3
