But they do: collectively universities lose £1bn a year teaching home students and £5 bn a year on research which is not fully funded. The business model is a result of political decisions over a decade of frozen funding for UK students.

Rolling Stone on J K Rowling: "Using her massive platform to direct hate and harassment at Lucy Clark, a woman who has done nothing but succeed professionally with the support of her family and team, struck many on social media as cruel."

The scandal of Tory waste and dodgy pandemic contracts continues. This government refuses to publish details of 36 PPE contracts worth £1bn which failed to deliver. Labour will appoint a Covid Corruption Commissioner to claw back every pound we can.

Sunak trying to frighten people into voting Tory, citing global threats, is taking the public for fools, after 14 years of the most incompetent, chaotic, corrupt & divided Government in living memory.

Fantastic visit to Bowhill Primary School recently. Really enjoyed meeting - and being quizzed by - members of the School Council.

The UK’s obesity epidemic costs our economy £98 billion a year in healthcare costs & lost productivity. Remember, Sunak scrapped Johnson’s extremely modest anti obesity strategy, as one of his first acts as PM.

With more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering in Rafah, an Israeli offensive must not go ahead. There must be an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded aid into Gaza that can be delivered regularly, quickly and safely.

An Israeli offensive in Rafah would be catastrophic. It must not go ahead. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of hostages, and immediate unimpeded aid to Gaza.

Oh joy! Just picked this up - the only Tory to lose to Labour in the London Assembly elections was the man behind Kensington & Chelsea (my deadly daily commuting route to Parliament) being the only London borough with *no* safe cycle routes.

A ‘left’ that quits a party on the cusp of power, preferring isolation and impotence because of the unsoiled purity they offer isn’t really serious about challenging privilege or redistributing wealth or increasing fairness. It’s a life style choice only.
