Respondent at Labour conference: "I've been surprised at opposition to ID cards, especially on civil liberties grounds. I thought we'd moved on from that. After Covid, I thought people were willing to accept more government intervention into their lives." Tells you all you

"Freedom of speech does not include freedom to offend." I do wonder what people who say this think the point of freedom of speech is. Do they think those who fought for these things did it so they could talk about buttercups and daisies?

When it's the death penalty we ask, "Is it actually painless?" When it's the death penalty we ask, "But what if we get it wrong and kill an innocent person?" When it's assisted dying, we're like, "Meh, we'll get it wrong sometimes but they're old/sick/disabled soooo..."

So when it’s the death penalty we have to be absolutely sure it’s the right person but when we’re killing innocent people we can just hope for the best

Cancel culture is toxic, and we have to stand up to it. We need to be free to be wrong or make mistakes in public life without fear of losing our jobs.

The "Get Brexit Done" mantra sums up all you need to know about how the Tories have sold out Brexit. Three years later, and the most radical policy idea is 'just get it over with'.

If there's one thing Brexit and Trump has taught us, it's that we need MORE debate. Not less. Those that say "some things aren't up for discussion" are wrong. Debate everything.
