Steve Reed.
You were asked a direct question. Is the abuse of a woman in Piddington partly because your government is putting 1,256 men beside her village?
You ran. Hard right. Reform. Hatred.
Cherwell District Council is not the hard right. Oxfordshire County Council is not the hard right. The NHS is not the hard right. The Police and Crime Commissioner is not the hard right. All four objected. Your government overruled all four.
3,177 objections. A village of 358. No shop. No pub. No post office. 285 voted to leave the UK. 26 voted to stay.
And your own paperwork admits the site poses a risk to women and girls, with police chiefs worrying about crime. Not the hard right. Your department.
You said genuine views are properly held. Then you overruled every body that held them.
Abuse is not an argument. It is a shield.
When you cannot defend the decision, you talk about the critics. You were asked why. You said Reform.

Who resigned from Labour for letting paedophile Mandelson into a top job without vetting, no one!
Immagine, someone taking accountability, something Labour do notunderstand.

Bridget Phillipson is calling for restrictions on NDAs being used to silence people over misconduct allegations. Well, Bridget, put your money where your mouth is. What happened with former Labour Chief Whip Nick Brown? Why was he suspended, and why has the public never been told the nature of the complaint? Will Labour commit to transparency over its own disciplinary processes, or is this another case of one rule for the Labour Party and another for everyone else?

As the scandals pile up for Labour, no one ever takes the blame.
As the scandals pile up for Reform UK, everyone takes the blame except Nigel Farage. Their General Secretary is the latest.
From dodgy candidates to financial cover ups, Farage is drowning in sleaze. Important questions still remain unanswered.

Lucy Powell has just been caught out by her own social media history.
Today, she defended Labour's decision to arrange Ed Miliband's 2015 interview with Russell Brand, claiming it wasn't the โsocial media ageโ back then.
Unfortunately for Powell, it's been discovered she was tweeting about Russell Brand in 2013.
So she was using social media to discuss Russell Brand two years before Labour supposedly couldn't use it to check him out?
Luckily, in 2026, it's very much a social media age, and we can see these Labour MPs lying to the public in real time.

Today we learned that Russell Brand saw James O'Brien as a 'useful idiot'
#OBINGO @LBC
In 2008', Russell Brand was under fire in the Andrew Sachs prank-call scandal, (in which Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross broadcasted a voicemail to Sachs claiming Brand had โf***edโ Sach's granddaughter)
The prank was widely regarded as deeply offensive, however, James O'Brien was one of the only people in broadcasting who actually came out slavishly defending Russell Brand
Russell Brand recognised this weakness in James OโBrien: his willingness to grovel, his submissive demeanor toward those he looked up to, and his readiness to set aside his principles in exchange for their approval

It would appear she may have BROKEN THE LAW by doing this

Watch Labour's Lucy Powell pull a face when Tim Stanley mentions the Rape Gangs
This is the same Lucy Powell who previously said rape gangs were a "racist dogwhistle"
She actually just hates poor little white girls doesn't she
Despicable

Such ignorance, @MichaelRosenYes
Caribbean sugar did not generate vast wealth for Britain nor did it drive industrialisation
As I had to explain to KehindeAndrews, sugar amounted to 2.5% of net British national income
Coal, sheep farming, the woolen industry, and iron were far more valuable
In 1770, the peak year for sugar, sugar only accounted for 3% of capital formation. If sugar was such a hot commodity it would have accounted for a FAR higher %.
In fact, Scottish & Irish flax and linen were much more of a revenue generator for the British economy than sugar
The reality is that the contribution of sugar to the British economy was the same as for barley and hops - and I don't recall anyone saying that beer was fundamental for the Industrial Revolution.
