When governments listen, change course, and put right a wrong decision, we shouldn’t rush to call it a ā€œU-turnā€ like it’s a failure. Admitting a mistake and correcting it is a mark of leadership—not weakness. Framing every change of direction as a political embarrassment only

"I’ve become a tolerant cove in my old age but if there’s one word certain to raise my dander, it’s cyclists." Cyclist is the one word makes Julie Burchill angry? Cyclists are often people just trying to get to work. Or children trying to get some exercise. Or people who can't

Antisemitism is wrong. No one should be abused, persecuted, or killed because of their ethnicity or religious beliefs. I offer my condolences to the families that grieve today. Shooting at diplomats is wrong. Diplomacy is the best way for genuine peace to be possible. We need

Some say that modern Britain is an island of strangers, disconnected and divided. But tonight, our neighbours—whose combined age totals 170 years—reminded us how untrue that can be. They invited us, along with our foster children, on a gentle trip down the river—a gesture rich in

A bonfire, a BBQ, and a canoeing session — such a simple, joyful way to spend the bank holiday with our foster children. In a world that often feels uncertain and overwhelming, we’re choosing to create moments of warmth, fun, and togetherness. These small adventures are more
