Reports of a stabbing in Leicester Square, London. My thoughts with the 11 year old girl and 34 year old woman, and wishing them a prompt recovery.

Harrowing story of Richard Warwick, an infected blood victim, who was infected with hepatitis B & HIV as a child. It is a sad indictment on the State that it has taken decades to provide closure & fully compensate victims of the worst treatment disaster in NHS history. I have

Steve Rodhouse, currently at National Crime Agency (NCA), is facing a gross misconduct hearing for his role as Gold Commander of Operation Midland, yet he has received a £10k pay rise & increase in his pension, which is now almost £3m – outrageous. Reward for failure. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Every year I had the honour from being a Member of Parliament, I voluntarily declared my consultancy earnings from the Paper Industry Federation, despite being told it wasn’t necessary. I believed then, as I do now, in the importance of transparency in declaring outside earnings.

Violence against females must be tackled, but labelling 'extreme misogyny' as terrorism is a dangerous precedent & embodies extreme misandry which may result in more violence. Suppressing speech & thought only deepens resentment & escalates conflict. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/1…

Deeply concerned about the rushed release of non-violent offenders due to prison overcrowding. With 1/4 ending up homeless, re-offending risks rise. The government must prioritise the recruitment of more probation officers to support ex-prisoners & their reintegration to

Approximately 2,000 prisoners are to be released early next month, followed by up to 1,700 more offenders in October - a total of 3700 over the next couple of months. These ex-prisoners must be supported by a robust, well-equipped probation service.

My Letter to the Editor of The Telegraph today highlights the urgent need for proper support and reintegration of the nearly 4,000 prisoners set to be released. We can't afford to let them fall through the cracks - successful reentry is key to reducing reoffending.

Indeterminate sentences for public protection have grave consequences, leading to uncertainty, despair, & even suicides. Many prisoners serve far beyond their fixed terms - this is unjust. It's time for comprehensive reform to bring fairness & clarity to our justice system.

Another great day attending the Hope Show & Sheepdog Trials. I was fortunate to bump into a former colleague, Anthony Favell MBE - former Conservatives Member of Parliament for Stockport, 1983 to 1992.

My heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of Delwyn Williams, MP for Montgomeryshire (1979-1983). A staunch Thatcherite & dedicated Welsh representative, he was a respected colleague from the transformative 1979 Conservatives intake who changed the situation of the United

At the dinner, a small group of friends sat chatting in the kitchen & reminded each other that there is life outside politics. There was a friend of Matthew’s there who happened to be a barrister & who told me very confidently that I would not be sent to prison & exactly what my

For the avoidance of doubt: I was prosecuted for gross indecency in 1987. I was charged for gross indecency, pleaded guilty & subsequently prosecuted & fined £1450. The charges I pleaded guilty to are no longer offences. They were based on the then differences in the age of

I’ll be on LBC with Rachel Johnson tonight at 20:00 to discuss my call for a Minister for Men. • Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 • Men face higher risks of false accusations against them & unequal family court decisions • Prostate cancer is the most

I call on Keir Starmer to establish a Minister for Men. For 27 years, we have had a Minister for Women, but who speaks for men? • Suicide remains the leading cause of death among men under 50 • Men are more likely to be falsely accused of crimes such as sexual assault •

Scottish Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth is right - phones must be banned in Parliament. Members of Parliament must focus fully on the business at hand, whether in the Chamber or committee sessions. It's time to prioritise undivided attention to our democratic processes.
