This is why when I was in No.10 I pushed back so hard on 'extremism' and 'misinformation' as priorty harms in Online Safety Bill @andrewdoyle_com . Because who decides what these terms mean? Don't assume it won't be people like this.

Intolerant activists have long sought to reframe disagreement as “hate” and criminalise dissent. In Canada, intolerance is winning…

Debating and interrogating policy makes it better. A broad consensus is what brought us to ruinously high and uncompetitive energy prices in this country.

An unedifying fight on Net Zero is the last thing that business wants, particularly off the back of an energy crisis. Energy is 1 in every 48 UK jobs. We are forecast to be the bottom of the world’s biggest 8 economies for clean energy growth by 2030.

@Samfr My greater concern was talk in No.10 about incentivising new parents back into labour market. Wellbeing of babies and families should trump expanding the labour mkt. If parents want to rush back, fine. But they shouldn't be pushed.

4/6 We must now focus on a very real conversion therapy scandal that is taking place as we speak: the large number of girls, many of them lesbian, who believe that if they are gender non-conforming they may need to change their bodies with drugs and surgery.

@NadineDorries @trussliz We can and must better protect children online (I am perfectly relaxed with age-gating the internet). But in no way does this justify or necessitate censoring lawful speech online. Regulating the internet is hard. But the OSB is a deeply flawed Bill which should be amended.

The official govt. handbook for UK citizenship applicants opens with this line: "Forget Brexit & its toxic legacy". For the 1st time in decades, many applying for UK citizenship are now treated equally to EU citizens. It's unforgivable for govt. resources to call this "toxic".
