Looks so nice but is such a short sighted move. Implies that MPs who don't donate their salaries are being mean spirited. No - most need them to live on. Do we want to return to the pre 1910s when only the rich could afford to be MPs? MPs deserve their wages and should take them.
First monthly net MP salary donated (to be topped up next time as just shy of a full month paid).
A campaign promise - I am delivering.
Every penny of my net MP salary will be donated to local charities/worthy causes. First to a local football club to renovate vital facilities!

is under attack for saying what parents tell us all the time in our research: That they would much rather spend the crucial early years with their children than work full time if they possibly possibly can. It’s about choice, and shouldn’t be controversial.

Is it even appropriate to have an International Men’s Day in 2022? Surprisingly, yes, and it’s for reasons of true equality.
84% of rough sleepers, 75% of all suicides, 66% of alcohol related deaths, 95% of industrial accidents – are all men.

A minority have making case on harms of pornography for years. Its taken Andrew Tate-like figures for policy makers to take it seriously.
I am today publishing a new report examining children's exposure to pornography & the impact it has on their self-esteem, body image, & relationships.

@MPIainDS
- not every day your boss gets sanctioned by the world's largest emerging economy.
Freedom to speak out against human rights abuses is an issue that is cross-party, cross nation, and shows the very best of what politics achieves.
The MPs and other British citizens sanctioned by China today are performing a vital role shining a light on the gross human rights violations being perpetrated against Uyghur Muslims.
Freedom to speak out in opposition to abuse is fundamental and I stand firmly with them.

Exactly. Politics is about what matters most to people, often mainly what is directly outside their front door.
The thing with Uncle Tiger's video was that it was local bread-and-butter.
Parents like safe, clean, and well-maintained community spaces for their children.
He focused on that through a very simple low-budget video - and now he is a Tory councillor in Blackburn with Darwen.

A classic example of middle class feminism that hones in on the minute problems facing women and ignores the real issues - domestic violence, FGM, forced marriage to name a few.
Those labels are not barriers for women. They are not. How about tackle forced marriage, the burka, FGM, domestic violence perhaps? This is literally the most vacuous podcast I’ve ever listened to, and I’ve listened to a lot.

An American study: for families in equal poverty, children with married parents had a 30% point lead – an 80% chance – of leaving poverty compared to those with cohabiting parents.
We owe it to the most disadvantaged in society to not be silent on the benefits of marriage.

Married couples separate less. After controlling for income, 88% of married couples were still together when their child was 5, compared to 67% for cohabitees.
This is a social justice issue. Of the top quintile of income 84% tie the knot, in the bottom quintile only 45 % do.

Disappointed my alma mater
@KingsCollegeLon
has stooped to such a low. Not only a huge waste of staffers time and tax payers money but also a very shoddy research ethic. Small sample size (650 max), no controls and poorly designed study. How did this pass the ethics committee?
MPs and their staff are genuinely overloaded with a pandemic and dealing with cases that deeply matter to individuals lives, like housing and abuse.
Kings College, LSE, and all involved should be deeply ashamed of sending fake casework to them during a pandemic. It's a disgrace.

After my GCSEs I went to Albania to volunteer in a holiday camp. The heat on Kirstie and her son shows a steady de-risking of childhood and delayed adolescence, setting our kids up for increased anxiety and fear of the world. Social services are busy enough with serious cases.
This just isn’t true, teens are allowed to travel, the interail pass is available to anyone from 12 to 27. The view that young people are somehow bound by law to stay in their bedrooms on their phones unless they go out hand in hand with their parents is so desperately depressing

I remember a time in primary school when the only shoes I had were school shoes. I felt acutely embarrassed when I wore my school shoes to own clothes day. I’m very glad this wasn’t every day. School uniforms can be a great equaliser it cheap and practical.
School uniforms & poverty:
1.Uniform cost should never be a barrier. Keep them cheap & ensure families have resources.
2. Non uniform days often awful for poorer kids.
3. Schools should be proportionate overall & NEVER exclude/humiliate kids because of impacts of low incomes.

is an example of someone driven by a *why*. We need more MPs driven by a desire to change something rather than just the job title.

I’ve often felt that it’s hard to fully champion the early years as I’m not a parent, but the Duchess is spot on: if we only care about early years when we have children, it’s too late. It must be everyone’s responsibility and there couldn’t be a better champion. Just love HRH.
We believe that tackling the toughest challenges in early childhood and achieving the long-term impact requires people to come together.

The most disadvantaged pupils often do not have the confidence to apply for the most selective unis.

recommend placing in-house experts in disadvantaged secondary schools, something private schools have done with great results for years.

Preening over a low expense record can be damaging and plays to a public that doesn't understand MPs costs - a large proportion of which goes on staff wages. Do we want those standing for election to feel they have to refuse legitimate expense claims in order to appear virtuous?
I notice the debate on here about why my expenses are so low. Simply I don't claim and never have. I am conscious this is tax payers money, and many struggle to pay. I prefer Government spending on a public sector pay rise - something the Chancellor forgot about on budget day.

Good to see the architect of Universal Credit calling for the retaining of the £20 uplift - framing it not as a problem to be solved, but as an investment in a system that can turn people’s lives around.
Universal Credit has the greatest capacity to tackle poverty and is critical in continuing social cohesion...
@RishiSunak
must see £20 uplift in

as an investment rather than a burden

Now seems like a good a time as any to reflect on the plague in the village of Eyam - a story of History that has long fascinated me.
In 1665, the tailor in Eyam in the Derybshire Dales, received material from London. In a week he was dead, of the deadly London plague.

Family breakdown leads to higher levels of offending and anti-social behaviour, says prison reformer
@TheLordFarmer
@CamillaTominey
unpacks this more below.
Parents must teach their children right from wrong, rather than leaving them to be influenced by “selfish and narcissistic” role models on social media.
We're looking forward to Lord Farmer's hard-hitting speech this morning here at

75 years ago show uncontained exuberance after years of fear. People poured out onto the streets bc they didn't know how else to express their joy. When this is all over we need a communally owned moment of national celebration. I want dancing on the streets.

Same. This is not about moralising, but giving people an informed choice about the type of relationship they want to pursue. Marriage and cohabitating relationships are not interchangeable in terms of their outcomes for children. The government must stop pretending they are.

Policy discussions that include the word love (or loving) are scarce, but in this case absolutely spot on. I want to see more discussions about love in policy that affects families and children. We all know its the foundation.

The bizarre and the local keeps our SoSs, including Our Deputy PM, grounded. A strange phenomenon for many in the international community looking in. But necessary and a great part of British politics.
Great to open the Christmas festival in Walton today - wonderful to see the community out enjoying the festive fun, including the roller-skating Christmas pudding!

1/3 UK young men are openly supportive of Andrew Tate
The solution is not to berate them, or to offer overly feminised solutions i.e. 'Just talk about your problems more' but to weave a better story about positive masculinity.
The toxic influence of people like Laurence Fox and Andrew Tate on a new generation — of angry young men.

The U.K. is an EU outlier in not allowing opt in family taxation - which would make it fairer for families and allow them to pool resources as they see fit.
I was just asked "I've recently received a high income benefit child benefit charge. I earn £53k my wife £12.5k. Yet I've read if we both earned £49k, we wouldn't have received the charge . How is that fair?"
That's correct. Sadly the answer is simple. It isn't fair.

has graciously put up with much ill deserved hate but I'd also like to point out her extraordinary memory. I met her twice and the 2nd time she remembered my name, which considering how many people she meets (and how low I am on the pecking order), is impressive.
After nearly 7 years, in April I'm moving on from best daily reporting job + the most wonderful team in the business. It's been an honour and an amazing ride - more to come in 2022! With love + thanks to all at
