Yeah - so good luck to the Lib Dem’s trying to convince voters that propping up Burnham is a good idea.
If the mansion tax threshold is reduced to £1.5m, where are the homes that now get taxed?

Sir - you’ve been the Mayor for a decade. You employed the useless Amy Lamé to oversee decline.
Whilst your Labour Party ran key London councils, you did *absolutely nothing* - yet the moment the Tories and the Greens seize control of key councils you spring into action.

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

Amazing to see King Charles unify Congress in a way America craves. Great speech on our historic relationship, our democratic values, and our belief in freedom. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

We're live at The Shard in London for Young Leaders in Action: Driving the UK's National Youth Strategy.
Young leaders, policymakers, and funders in the room, because the decisions that shape young people's lives must be made with them, not for them. #OneYoungWorld

MSPs have come to the right conclusion tonight and rejected their assisted dying Bill. The Bill was deeply flawed and the holes within it insufficiently addressed.
Like the Westminster Bill, the protections within it were weak and would not have protected the most vulnerable.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner and One Young World Counsellor, Narges Mohammadi has been held in detention by Iranian authorities since December 2025. Credible reports detail physical abuse, ongoing life‑threatening mistreatment and no medical care for suspected breast cancer.
We support The Norwegian Nobel Committee's demand for her immediate and unconditional release and guarantee her access to independent, safe and professional care.
We were privileged to welcome her (virtually) to the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich, where she spoke of her hope for the future of human rights in Iran. Despite the constant threats of violence and imprisonment, Narges continues to speak out about injustices and human rights violations in the hope of bringing freedom and peace to the people of Iran.

My message to Labour MPs is if you want the change you know the country needs, come and speak to my team.
I’m ready to talk seriously about a vote of no confidence.
Because right now Britain is not being governed.

Kemi Badenoch on Starmer’s China trip: “He’s probably going to give away the Isle of Wight.”

Labour’s Westminster Council wasted up to £27m because it contracted with a company it knew was at a high risk of going bust. I spoke to LBC about this reckless decision. More on the Geoffrey Osborne scandal in days and weeks to come. @westminstertory

The next Conservative government will abolish stamp duty on your home.
Because Britain should be a country where people who wish to own their own home, can.
