Tax rises are inevitable due to declining birthrates. Unless we reverse this trend, ratio of workers to pensioners will continue to fall, so each worker has to pay more & more tax to fund pensions, & healthcare. No amount of ‘efficiencies’ or ‘GDP growth’ are going to fix this.

Some Tories unhappy with @RobertJenrick and @NeilDotObrien for outlining harmful effects of mass immigration so close to an election. I disagree. Frankly, this is far more important than a single election…

In France, “Married people with children pay much less tax. A married couple in France would have to earn the equivalent of over £47,000 before paying any income tax.” We need people to have children, so why does UK tax system take no account of the costs of raising a family?

I resigned from government because I refused to be another politician who broke their promise to reduce immigration. Three decades of mass migration have utterly failed the British public. The costs have been covered up. Here is the truth that needs to be told👇

Tory MP Miriam Cates says “more needs to be done” to protect children online as Ofcom announces new rules. "It’s like saying, 'we’re going to put Class A drugs on your child’s desk, but they shouldn’t take them!' That's the kind of addictiveness we're dealing with." @Iromg

Labour has just welcomed into its ranks an MP with deeply & publicly held conservative beliefs. How can a Party that includes both Elphicke & Burgon claim to have any sort of guiding principles? The Conservatives are a (too) broad church but Labour is philosophically incoherent.

On Tuesday 14th May, I’ll be leading a debate in Parliament to discuss the impact of smartphones and social media on children. Please email your MP and ask them to join the debate. Smartphones and social media are not safe for kids. We need to reclaim childhood. @JonHaidt

My new @CPSThinkTank paper with @RobertJenrick is out this morning - shows how and why we should cut net migration to the tens of thousands and end the unprecedented levels of recent years

This is a great start. If age verification can be proven to work for 13 year olds, it will be straightforward to raise the age for social media to 16. @charleshymas

Natasha Hausdorff, @UKLFI CT Legal Director, tells British MPs that the ratio of Palestinian civilians to combatants killed in Gaza is around 1:1, in contrast to 9:1 in urban conflicts worldwide and 3:1 or 5:1 in US operations in Iraq and Afghanistan

‘Levelling up’ is an over-used phrase. But it resonates in areas like South Yorkshire because deindustrialisation took our prosperity, pride & purpose. The North/South divide is a chasm. Reviving our industrial base would boost productivity, equality & UK balance of trade.

“Our voters want patriotism & national security, rather than a vision of “global Britain” which serves an international elite rather than ordinary UK citizens. They want a state that is neither big nor small but one that works. They want cultural security, not mass immigration.”

If you are looking for a video to send to the head of your child's school, on why the school MUST go phone-free by September if it cares about mental health, social development, or learning, this is my best lecture making the case:

The Blairite aspiration to send half of all young people to university has backfired spectacularly. Spending three years detached from the real world spending someone else’s money is not always the best start to adult life. Academic learning & common sense are not the same thing.
