Brexit would never have happened if public service anti-union ballot laws imposed by the Tories on teachers, rail workers, nurses, etc had applied. The 51.9% Out vote on a 72.2% turnout was only 37.5% of the electorate, below the 40% threshold demanded for workers to strike.

In every area of the policy response we need to be asking not just can we reduce the immediate harm, but what more can we do to reduce the uncertainty facing firms and families. In an economic crisis uncertainty kills - and at present we have it in bucket-loads

You only have to look at homelessness figures to see that young people in care are still - yes, after decades of fine words - getting a raw deal. Here’s a good way to support a great charity: @Become1992 justgiving.com/hughthornbery

Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!

Amber Rudd is wrong to argue our relationship with America means we shouldn't withdraw our invite to Trump. The US is far more than its President, and it is not a slur on Americans to call him out.
