Kemi Badenoch called high interest rates on student loans an ‘unfair debt trap’ - no one tell her who introduced it

Major interests include patient and public involvement in health research, mainly but not only at Keele University. I have a hearing loss and teach paramedic students about it. Other interests include walking, badminton, tai chi and family history.

Huge change to political donation rules to close loopholes on foreign cash
Labour’s Steve Reed today unveils legislation to stop foreign donors interfering with UK politics - while also letting 16 and 17 year olds vote in elections for the first time 👏

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.
Now that’s a President.
Seems like the Epstein files are full of billionaires and not immigrants.
Good morning . Your #FoxOfTheDay today from @ceidil.bsky.social !
While we should all be looking very hard at Starmer’s leadership, this week Nigel Farage decided that the people who vote for him would prefer to have cheaper beer at the expense of children being lifted out of poverty.
BBC News, "Greater Manchester Police are investigating a report that Reform UK broke electoral law in the Gorton & Denton by-election"
"It's been reported that the party sent a letter to voters that didn't include an imprint identifying the promoter of the material"
If HMRC thinks you owe them a penny it will chase you to the ends of the earth.
If you owe them millions it won't do anything.
Reform UK will face a police investigation in Gorton and Denton after admitting it sent out letters from a “concerned neighbour” which did not state they had been funded and distributed by the party

🚨BREAKING: Parliament is going to debate the petition – BY-ELECTIONS TO BE CALLED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT TO ANOTHER PARTY on 16 March 2026!
Contact/Tag your MP now and ask them to attend the debate and speak out in support
Nigel Farage claims that he's fighting the Greens.
But for weeks now he's refused to debate me.
Reform know Gorton & Denton are ready to vote for the Green Party.
This is apparently real. People who voted for him must've wanted someone stupider than they are. I'm sorry, but he's a " low-IQ individual," to quote the Low-IQ Individual in Chief.
Donald Trump again disparages Nato allies, claiming troops “stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines” while fighting in Afghanistan in support of US against Taliban.
Only time Nato has ever invoked article 5 – that attack on one member represents attack on all – came after September 11.
Armed forces minister Al Carns says comments about NATO troops not serving in Afghanistan are ‘utterly ridiculous’
‘I served tours... many alongside my American colleagues, we shed blood sweat and tears together’
Even in sub-zero temperatures, working people brought the heat today in Minnesota!
Tens of thousands of people peacefully protested and made their voices heard to stand up for our immigrant siblings.
This is what solidarity looks like!
Nigel Farage’s trip to Davos hosted and paid for by $10bn family trust of an Iranian-born billionaire.
Listed on the programme as member of parliament and a representative of HP Trust “family office of Sasan Ghandehari”.
What do sponsors get in return?
"Prince Harry who served two front line tours in Afghanistan said the sacrifices made by British and other NATO troops, deserved to be spoken about truthfully and with respect"
"After Donald Trump falsely claimed they had avoided the front line" #C4News
If you or a loved one served in Afghanistan and are horrified by Donald Trump's claim that Nato including British forces, stayed "a little off the front lines" during the conflict, and would like to write to express your anger and outrage, then please email editor@centralbylines.co.uk
Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?
200+ UU colleagues are in #Minneapolis protesting ICE www.uuworld.org/articles/min...
We finally have a shot at criminalising lying in politics…
And you can help.
I spoke at an event this week where the room voted almost unanimously that MPs & Lords must be covered by the new offence of Misleading the Public
Imagine if this went though
And this is where we need your help…
TODAY IN MINNESOTA: Hundreds of thousands marched through Minneapolis in -10°F, shutting down the city to demand ICE the fuck out of the Twin Cities. People risked frostbite just to make their point. The entire country should be ashamed if they don’t follow.
How does anyone do anything 17 times inadvertently‽

I'm sorry I accidentally broke the law.
Again.
And again.
And again.
And again.

And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
It was an accident.

If the UK media now do not apply equal harsh measures to Nigel Farage than they did to Angela Raynor, then they are complicit in
a) a Mysoginist narrative where men are forgiven and women 'should have known better' and
b) are actively saying they are okay with Farage in charge.
When Christian Wakeford MP defected from the Tories to Labour in 2022, Nigel Farage was outraged.
