10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated
The farmers protesting are tax dodgers, not patriots.
Why shouldn't rich farmers pay a bit of inheritance tax? Not even at the same level as everyone else.

Shortage of senior doctors leads to increased overtime bill as failure to recruit and retain resident doctors worsens with pay degradation.
The right are getting upset about parents who may struggle to afford VAT on private education. But no one gets upset about parents who may struggle to afford school uniforms, or even school dinners. If education is SO important why’s it not important for EVERY child?
I'm 35 this weekend so I'd like to know when I'm going to stop dreaming that I completely forgot about an entire A Level subject, haven't attended the lessons, and now have to take the exam?!
