Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment and persecution at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party is an outrage. The Prime Minister should summon the Chinese Ambassador today, and demand Jimmy Lai's immediate release and the quashing of this trumped-up sentence.

(also, just as a matter of fact/basic national accounting, tuition fees at overseas branches of UK universities aren't exports and don't contribute directly to any export target! There may be a small indirect contribution but miniscule compared to foreign students studying in UK)

Scottish Liberal Democrats are clear that Scotland’s NHS needs fresh ideas. We believe the problem lies in the crisis in social care which keeps patients in hospital when they should be home. If we get that right, we can alleviate the pressure on A&E, waiting times and GPs.
Despite the eye-watering sums, the extra £3bn and 20,000 extra NHS staff since 2019, outcomes aren’t improving, and waiting times are stubbornly high.

The SNP is out of ideas, and has its priorities skewed.

It’s all very well to talk about record investment but if that money is not getting to where it needs to be, then we might as well burn it.

Too many local businesses have already closed their doors. We need urgent action to save our hospitality sector. Lib Dems’ proposal to reduce VAT to 15%, at least until April 2027, would be a step towards protecting hospitality before it is too late for others.

The image shows Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone in a famous moment from the opening scene of the 1972 film The Godfather. 





The cat held by Brando was a stray found wandering the Paramount Studios lot by director Francis Ford Coppola. 
The cat was not in the original script or planned for the scene; its presence was a total fluke and an unscripted moment. 
The contrast between the softness of the cat and the brutal nature of the character helped define Don Corleone's complex personality. 
The photograph was taken by set photographer Steve Schapiro

There is a genuine appetite for challenge to our current governments – but one based on ideas rather than incessant internal drama. Many former Conservative voters will be looking at this latest eruption and see it as the last straw. Other, more moderate parties are available.
If Kemi Badenoch says that she and the British public are tired of political psychodrama, the same may not be universally true of her remaining Tory colleagues.

Moments after the news broke of Jenrick’s defenestration, I overheard his colleagues in parliament gossiping – about who was going to get his office.

One clown may have departed, but the circus goes on.
