It's clear that funding must match the realities of the areas where funding is needed - so why, under the so-called 'Fair Funding Review', will areas like Herefordshire see funding slashed and a removal of remoteness adjustment for all areas but social care?
We cannot allow political subservience to Trump and Netanyahu to lead Britain into a dangerous, illegal, expensive war. It's time for Starmer to show some genuine backbone on the international stage.
There is huge local effort in North Herefordshire to tackle agricultural pollution in the Wye & Lugg - but we need proper government support for the solutions local people want: farmer-led landscape recovery projects; more funding and teeth for the EA, and a WPZ for the Wye.
The brave Iranian protestors deserve the UK's full support in their fight against the horrific regime - and this includes the UK committing not to support or enable actors such as the US in violating international law through any actions in Iran.
Throwing a civil servant under the bus will not distract from the fact that the PM asked no questions about Mandelson's vetting, that his office did not even want to conduct vetting, or that he made an outrageous error of judgement in appointing Mandelson in the first place. The PM must resign.
Given the huge concerns about children's safety online, it's crucial the govt acts with urgency, thoughtfulness, & care. I abstained on today’s motion for this reason. It would have rushed through (as yet unpublished) legislation in one day, with no real opportunity for scrutiny or consultation.
Starmer appointed Mandelson despite knowing his links to Epstein and foreign states. He resisted and then took a wilfully ignorant attitude towards vetting, compromising national security. He threw a civil servant under the bus to try and save his own skin. The PM must resign.
In trying to avoid releasing material which may be embarrassing for the UK govt or offensive to the sensitivities of one Donald Trump, the govt has set up a process which risks hugely delaying the release of papers relating to Mandelson's appointment.
The govt must do more than express concern over the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank - they must take action. Ban trade with illegal settlements and impose new sanctions on Netanyahu and all responsible for this violence.
There is clearly a case to be answered on Starmer's statements about the Mandelson vetting scandal - that is what today's vote is about, and why I supported the Motion. All MPs, regardless of Party, owe it to their conscience and their constituents to do the same.

Mark Carney said Ukraine may be outside NATO’s direct responsibility — but not outside Canada’s values. Canada will keep working with partners, he said, because Ukraine is going to triumph and Canada will be on the right side of history.

O maior absurdo dessa história toda é que os bolsonaristas do Rio de Janeiro, que fingem se espantar com a ideologia esquerdista nas escolas, entregam cargos para traficantes de drogas. A PF tem áudios com o deputado Thiago Rangel apontando indicados de "Júnior do Beco", líder do TCP em Campos.

Hegseth, the same guy who banned abortion services at the VA, thinks asking the military to get flu vaccines violates their autonomy but forcing them to carry a pregnancy and risk dying does not. And he thinks that’s common sense!

Our joke of an acting AG—who “happens” to be Trump’s former personal attorney—just gave his boss a lifelong get out of jail free card (which also applies to Trump’s family and businesses.) Doesn’t get any more corrupt than that.
