It's been great to appear on @TalkTV, discussing the weekend's biggest stories. There was lots to dig into across segments on @petercardwell's Evening Exchange, and @DuncanBarkes' Weekend Breakfast. Talk is a bastion of free speech and debate. I'm glad to contribute to it.

Another day, another development in the Fairford saga. All the while, local residents continue to live in fear over what happened, and what might happen next. We need real leadership, and to finally acknowledge the threats we face as a nation. @petercardwell @TalkTV

Next Generation Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute James Hodgkinson, comments on the ongoing situation surrounding RAF Fairford. "I think it's an utter mess, remember these people were forced to flee their homes because of this attack." @petercardwell

Yes, Brexit has not delivered all we hoped. But that's because politicians treat the referendum with contempt. 7 million more Brits backed leave than voted Labour in 2024. There is no pro-EU mandate. We must deregulate and trade across the world, not surrender to Brussels.

"Brexit has done more harm than good." Andy Burnham says he will 'lay out options' at the next reset summit to tighten the relationship between the EU and UK. trib.al/RZyLi0j 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

I'm back in @TheCriticMag today, arguing for financial and audit reforms in England's parish and town councils. With 173 parish councils now charging households more than the average district council, and no cap on how much they can hike tax by, the case for reform is urgent.

Parish and Town Councils are responsible for increasing amounts of tax, writes James Hodgkinson, yet remain unaccountable thecritic.co.uk/the-local-gove…

A broken clock is right twice a day. But seriously, this 'mansion tax' is nothing but Labour's politics of envy writ large.
