@ArchbishopSarah Thanks God for the British Christians who abolished the slave trade and the British sailors who lost their lives fighting to end it. How much of my collection plate money willl CofE spend to stop modern slavery practices common in so many non Christian societies right now?
@AlistairCarns@CatharineHoey Terrific but you seem to be in the wrong party. The Labour party’s membership and MPs will not stomach an agenda like this nor will they march into the lobbies to support the necessary measures. I suggest you cross the floor.
@Ronnie2035@griffitha@SteveBakerFRSA You misunderstand his case. Andrew would surely despise the crony corporatism you describe too (I very much doubt she is his ‘mate’ BTW). Rent seeking from the government teet (à la Mone) is NOT the entrepreneurial risk taking economy Griffith is seeking to advance.
Keir Starmer’s Government is no joke.
They’ve sent taxes spiralling for the hospitality industry. Thousands will be left unemployed.
I visited a comedy club, but nobody was laughing. This needs to end.
The Price of Climate Virtue Signaling
Last year, the UK spent £11.7 billion on renewable subsidies for 0.00007°C in a century
Now, the UK can't afford £150 million to save 255,000 children from dying next year
Spending priorities have lethal consequences

@ClarkeMicah@RupertLowe10 Quite so Peter Hitchens. I once asked David Cameron why he was a Conservative when he was looking for a seat. I got the goldfish act while he searched for an answer.
"My politics are very simple. I believe in the nation state, I believe Britain must rebuild its identity, its institutions, its state machinery and its civil society, and I believe that we must aspire to run this country with as small a state, in as free market a way, and with as much personal freedom, as we possibly can."
Why I am going to run the @iealondon and why the battle against statism needs to be won all over again.

The IEA Board of Trustees is delighted to announce that @DavidGHFrost will become Director General and Ralph Harris Fellow of the Institute in January 2026.
@TeresaC123 3 lies in there: Farage does not want to take it away; it isn’t free - it costs billions and delivers some of the worst health outcomes in the developed world; Reform has no plan to destroy it.
This is grade A mission creep and a perfect example of the unintended consequences of having too many well paid, deeply ‘woke’, public sector regulators making work for themselves.
Harassment, let alone violence, is already covered by the criminal, employment and contract law. Clearly that conduct and those offences are wrong - I don’t condone or diminish in any way.
But at a time the FCA should be straining every sinew to help the UK’s flagging competitiveness - and explaining to the Treasury the insanity of attacking international wealth creators - what on earth are they playing at? There is more rain on the moon than London IPOs right now!
I believe that my Labour successor as City Minister, Emma Reynolds MP, is one of the more sensible ones. I do think she ‘gets’ the City. But on the FCA she needs to get a grip.
@donmcgowan He’s not a stockbroker. Never was. But if you think stockbrokers are the elite you’ve been asleep for a generation. The elite is the liberal left of the BBC, universities, local government, quangocracy, judiciary etc.. They’ve been running the show for a long time.
