After the abhorrent & shocking knife attacks in Southport which took the lives of 3 innocent young children- we saw the disgusting riots which targeted local businesses and communities including the mosque. Yet acts of ordinary people shows how unity & hope prevails over hate.

Spare a thought for Tony Hill who has been working at break neck speed in blazing hot sun to rebuild the Southport mosque wall before the far right can return. He said: “And if we have to build it again afterwards we will do just that.”

This brutal killing is the latest example of the persecution and targeting of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan. The authorities must protect all citizens & allow them to live and prosper in line with the vision of the founder of Pakistan 🇵🇰 of freedom of faith for all

Powerful words from @aliciakearns which resonate with many hard working parents who have worked hard , saved , sacrificed & prioritised budgets for their children’s education and now are targeted by an instant 20% tax hike on families by Labour. Raise standards NOT taxes.

Labour’s plans to charge VAT on independent school fees would have a devastating impact on our local economy and families. 📚 Over 2,000 people are employed by our 10 independent schools in Rutland and Stamford. 📚1 in 8 Rutland children go to an independent school. 📚

Today’s King’s Speech will remind the world how our political system is antiquated - and incredibly effective. Clear election results. And a tradition of personal civility between rivals that marks quite a contrast with other systems.

Now is the time to bring an end to the terrible war in Gaza, starting with an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and an immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is high time for the parties to show the political courage and political will to finally reach a deal.

A decision I strongly backed in Govt & will continue to make the case that #UNRWA is the backbone to the aid operation in Gaza & a lifeline for Palestinians across the Occupied Territories as well as in neighbouring countries. The UK 🇬🇧 must restart @UNRWA funding without delay.

We've seen MPs swearing allegiance to the King using Cornish and Doric; holy books from the Koran to Gaelic and Hebrew Bible. This is quiet. Unfussy. But that's why the UK can claim to be the most successful multi-faith democracy in the world. My blog:-
