It is quite simply a battle of good versus evil, and it’s forever unforgettable quite how many people in our own western societies cheered the wrong side 🍉
Yes we opposed it. It’s a TERRIBLE policy. It has forced schools to shut, sending 1000s of pupils into state schools that are now struggling for space, teachers and money you didn’t account for. And you said 'every penny' would go into state schools... but now it’s housing?
In the budget last year, my government made the tough but fair decision to apply VAT to private schools. The Tories opposed it. Reform opposed it. Today, because of that choice, we have announced the largest investment in affordable housing in a generation.
I thought the VAT from school fees was to go on state schools? Not housing. You can’t even get your lies straight. By the way what’s the latest estimate of how much the VAT will raise minus the cost of those leaving private education for the state system? Enough to build a…

🔴 BREAKING: Thom Yorke of Radiohead takes a refreshing stand against the one sided and unquestioning "Free Palestine" trend among artists. "Why have the hostages still not all been returned? For what possible reason?"
Here's my @spectator column on Bridget Phillipson: "Congratulations are due to the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson. Not many ministers achieve much at all, let alone achieving the core of their agenda within a year of taking office. But figures to be released this week,…
A shame Israel didn't win #Eurovision - so close - but wow, Yuval Raphael is an inspiration. For the second year running the audience vote has shown they have no truck with the Jew haters' calls for boycotts. The haters make a lot of noise but they speak for no one but…
This is how the public of each European country, Australia, and the rest of the world voted in the Eurovision final. Remember, social media is not real life.
More than 13,000 pupils have already left private schools thanks to Labour’s school fee tax (@thetimes) - over four times government’s own forecast. That’s 13,000 extra pupils in an overstretched state system as a result of class war policy
“I’ve been in touch with Kneecap and they’ve now agreed to watch Adolescence to avoid jail.”
Happy Easter! We may carry faith lightly in this country, but the natural reserve of the British character should not prevent us from acknowledging that this is a culturally Christian country, the product of a millennium and more of Christian life on the British Isles, and that…
The nauseating hypocrisy of E Miliband is jaw-dropping. He and his kind across the political class — Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, SNP — promoted the very energy policies that lumbered Britain with the highest industrial energy costs in the world, making industries like steel…
Very proud to be in the House today to see my colleagues @jreynoldsMP and @LabourSJ standing up for British steelworkers and industry. This Government is delivering the muscular industrial policy this country needs in uncertain times.
Phase 1: “The rich won’t emigrate if you tax them more. That’s just scaremongering.” Phase 2: “The rich are only emigrating because they’re greedy.” Phase 3: “The rich have emigrated. Good riddance!”

Ten worst moments of the assisted suicide bill committee stage:
Lots of MPs voted for the bill at 2nd reading in the expectation that there would be stronger safeguards added at committee stage… and yet we now see that even the weak safeguards that existed, are being dropped.
EXCLUSIVE Kim Leadbeater will scrap the sign-off from a High Court judge for assisted dying. She will table amendment to replace it with expert panel - senior lawyer, psychiatrist and social worker. Judge-led commission will oversee panels. Full story in tomorrow’s Guardian
First time in my life I have agreed with Diane Abbott!
Safeguards on the Assisted Dying Bill are collapsing. Rushed, badly thought out legislation. Needs to be voted down. itv.com/news/2025-02-1…

Come on bbc… if someone murdered or tries to murder whole families including children & young people at a music concert they are not hostages they are prisoners. Swapping child hostages for murders isn’t quite hostage exchange!
I've never shared this story publicly but let me do so now. When my parents were kidnapped by Fatah, they separated my parents. When they were mistreating them and forcing them to confess to insane things, my mother said to her torturers: "Go ask my husband if you don't…
Palestinians killed his wife, both of his daughters, his brother, and even his dog. They starved and tortured him for 491 days. They paraded and humiliated him at their last opportunity, forcing him to read lines in some sadistic show they put on. Eli Sharabi didn’t know what…
I’ll never forgive or forget that the BBC happily referred to convicted Palestinian terrorists as “hostages” but completely refused to refer to Hamas as terrorists.
