It's been fabulous to work alongside Tom over the last three years. From tomorrow, I will be Chair, which is an exciting moment for me and I'm greatly looking forward to the challenge of campaigning on behalf of the >20 million who are financially excluded.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. I do hope that any right-minded, normal, liberal, democracy-loving citizens who are on the verge of ordering a new Tesla think again. Nobody in the UK should be buying Teslas right now.

40% of my followers are into politics, and 60% are into the Oxford Comma. Loving the Starter Pack experience. Which one next?!

Polly is spot-on with this article. It can be, and should be, a defining moment for Labour to support this and change society. Starmer needs to make his position clear and give a lead to this immensely important proposal.
