Today in Parliament the Liberal Democrats are tabling an Early Day Motion to dock Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab's pay over his handling of the Afghanistan crisis. They are also calling for the Government to use the money saved to fund the resettlement of Afghan refugees, following reports of a £557m shortfall in resettlement funding. Commenting on the motion, Liberal Democrat Chief Whip Wendy Chamberlain MP said: Dominic Raab is one of the worst Foreign Secretaries in British history. He has presided over the worst foreign policy disaster since the Suez and decided to spend more time on the beach instead ...
There is a myth that circulates currently on the western right that goes like this: while the left is close-minded, wrapped up in cancel culture and identity politics, the right have become the custodians of tolerance. While the left no-platforms those it disagrees with, the right will talk with anyone and everyone. So long as you disagree with the woke folk's shibboleths, you can come and join the centre-right, as they are waiting for you with open arms. Like any myth there is some truth buried in there. The left has become almost hilariously intolerant over the last few years, ...

There is no better way to generate mistrust and suspicion in the international commmunity than to negotiate and sign an agreement and then renege on it, and Boris Johnson's government has done that in spades, with even the chief negotiator joining in to renounce the protocol he led on. As the Guardian reports, David Frost, who is now a minister, has renewed his demands for fundamental changes on the implementation of the Northern Ireland Brexit protocol, warning the row could have a long-term chilling effect on wider EU-UK relations unless it was resolved. The row over the protocol, known in ...
If the UK 's economy and society are to recover from the shock of the COVID pandemic, the damage inflicted by Brexit and the after-effects of several years of austerity, it needs a long-term increase in public investment. Boris Johnson has promised to 'level up' Britain's poorer cities and towns, to 'Build Back Better' after Brexit and COVID, and to tackle the costs of social care. The Brexit campaign promised to spend more on the NHS. British chairmanship of the Climate Conference in November will risk embarrassing failure unless our government commits to an ambitious programme to move towards Net ...
As residents will recall, following the unfortunate removal some time ago of the 'old' 204 bus service that covered streets like Newhall Gardens, Invergowrie Drive and Glamis Drive, the council's response was to establish the "Blether Bus" minibus service for older residents. I strongly opposed the withdrawal of the old 204 as it was a better service than the Blether Bus. The previous version of the 204 went to both the City Centre and Ninewells Hospital, something the Blether Bus did not. However, at least the Blether Bus gave some sort of service for older residents who would struggle to ...

Developments as Ironbridge 1,000 home application goes back to planning committee with improved soci...
On Friday, the 204-metre chimney at the former power station tumbled to the ground. It is the last major structure to be demolished before the site is redeveloped for 1,000 homes, shops, community facilities and a school. This will be a new settlement around the size of Much Wenlock or Ellesmere. The planning application for the site is proving controversial and complex. At its meeting in June, the Southern Planning Committee voted to defer a decision to get a better deal on affordable housing and traffic impacts on Much Wenlock and more information on the impact on local health services. ...
