The Christian town of Taybeh in the West Bank is the same as Ephraim in John's Gospel, where Jesus went before His passion. The town is now entering a new passion, suffering the violent attacks of extremist Israeli settlers. We must condemn these attempts at ethnic cleansing.

We are lucky to have the excellent St Barnabas Hospice hospice in our county. I wrote to the Chancellor pointing out what a severe negative impact the NI contribution increases will have on this and other hospices. The reply I received takes many words to say practically nothing.

Norman Tebbit was a kind and honourable man who pulled himself up from a humble background and achieved greatness. He showed tremendous courage and stoicism after the Brighton bombing, displaying above all his deep devotion to his wife Margaret. R.I.P.

We're all in favour of green energy in Lincolnshire, but the scale of solar power installations planned on agricultural land around Gainsborough is overwhelming. This concentration is too much; it should be spread out across the country.

I went on Charanpreet Khaira's Last Orders with Labour's Lee Pitcher MP and Lib Dem Tom Gordon MP. A good discussion on farming, our subpostmasters and Labour's first year in power. Watch here: itv.com/news/calendar/…

I hope we've got over the liberal imperialist itch of the Blair/Cameron era to intervene militarily in ungovernable countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Libya.
