    This is a total disgrace. It is absolutely not the role of the police to intimidate members of the public - especially while openly admitting no law has been broken. An affront to free speech and a massive overstep of authority. The public expects the police to focus on real

    I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit

    The Government has confirmed that its so called 'independent' Digital ID Advisory watchdog, will not have its minutes published. We are expected to carry out parliamentary scrutiny on one of the most significant erosions of our civil liberties for decades, and yet we are not

    There is growing speculation about the enforcement of Labour's social media ban for Under-16s involving restrictions or bans on VPNs. Make no mistake, if this is introduced, it will mean an end to online privacy, and the state will know exactly who is looking at what at all

    Today, two men who attacked a journalist on behalf of the Iranian regime have been jailed. Past heads of the security services have warned of threats from the Iranian state to British citizens in the UK, and I have called on multiple occasions over many years for the Government

    Solar farm developers are inundating places like the East Riding - spoiling our countryside and riding roughshod over the explicit wishes of local residents. Peartree Hill is just one example. In my constituency alone, four proposed solar mega-farms will cover an area the size

    The damning HMCPSI report confirms what many of us have argued for years: the CCRC is a broken system that stubbornly protects flawed convictions rather than uncovering the truth. The shocking treatment of Andrew Malkinson cannot be repeated. Urgent reform is non-negotiable.

    Positive discrimination via DEI hiring may have been a necessary correction for past adverse treatment of various minorities, but it has now got to the point of doing serious harm to society. Whether it is the undermining of our institutions or the destruction of social mobility

    The Defence Investment Plan published today says: "This Government's message to veterans is simple: we are on your side." If that is true, then I look forward to Labour dropping their unworkable Troubles legislation, which will only serve to open brave veterans who served in

    The proposed 'Gap Year' Foundation Scheme included in today's Defence Investment Plan is a good idea to give young people training and experience of what being in the Armed Forces is like. Schemes like this will be instrumental in growing our Armed Forces by breaking down some

    The UK's Special Forces are some of the best - if not the best - in the world. They are a praetorian guard that keeps us all safer, our democracy secure, and our many violent enemies hesitant to take us on. I am glad to see the Government recognising this with a 12 per cent

    As I argued in my recent article for the @Telegraph, the future of defence procurement will be based on small start-ups, not corporate monoliths. I am therefore glad to see today's Defence Investment Plan prioritising spending with small businesses with an additional £2.5bn by

    Today’s Defence Investment Plan promises to restore morale in our Armed Forces. The quickest way to do that? Give our troops total certainty. The Government must signal that those deployed on operations won't return home to face vexatious lawfare. That starts by dropping their

    This is a real issue, that started with Gordon Brown using PFI to hide public spending, which meant that we spent £275 billion to get £50 billion of assets: and has been worsened by governments of all colours, including the current one, being pathetic in their oversight both of

    If you meet any MP or Minister at an Armed Forces Day event please ask them what are they doing to stop our Northern Ireland veterans being persecuted under the Troubles legislation. Have they talked to Burnham about it? Have they talked to Benn? Will they vote against it?
