The one tax cut I'm hoping for in @hmtreasury spring budget is for the Chancellor to end the unfair VAT charge on colleges. It's fundamentally unfair, with £200m being lost which should be used to support & educate students #LoveOurColleeges

This clocks forwards and backwards thing twice a year is one of the dumbest things we do in this country. It's utterly bizarre that we continue with it in the 21st century.
I like how Louis is considered too much of a loose cannon to have at the funeral. Not even 5 and already the Princess Margaret of his generation
The attacks Azerbaijan has launched on #Armenia today are nothing short of outrageous. To launch missile strikes on villages far from the Karabakh conflict zone is a war crime. A muted reaction from western powers won’t do; intl pressure to end hostilities must be forthcoming.
