The Conservatives are asleep at the wheel when it comes to national security. Let’s have a look at just how careless they’ve been this year…
In February, the Home Office admitted that more than 15,000 records were wrongly deleted from the Police National Computer theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/f…
In March, sensitive information from the MoD was exposed when documents were transferred to personal email accounts news.sky.com/story/ministry…
Boris Johnson has openly admitted to using his personal mobile to conduct government business. In April, it was discovered that the PM’s personal mobile number was publicly available online for more than 15 years bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
The Health Secretary was caught on CCTV breaking social distancing rules, but the Government can’t even tell us whether private meetings are being recorded bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-pol…
Last week, almost 50 pages of classified documents were found abandoned behind a bus stop in Kent reuters.com/world/uk/class…
Only last month, Dominic Raab lectured NATO allies on the threat of cyber hacks. But today it has emerged that the Foreign Secretary’s personal mobile number has been available online for a decade theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
The first priority of any government must be safeguarding national security. The Tories’ causal and incompetent approach is putting our country’s safety at risk

1/ Boris Johnson's record of failure threatens to derail the most important G7 in a generation. How has he managed to get us in such a mess?

18 months after receiving the Russia Report, the government still hasn’t implemented any of its recommendations

In that time, the Tories have taken more than £1m in donations from Russia-linked sources

The report called for action to clean up dirty money & protect our democracy
Alexander Temerko has given more than £700K to the Conservative Party.

He ‘forged a career at the top of the Russian arms industry and had connections at the highest levels of the Kremlin’ and spoke of how he would ‘plot’ with his friend Boris Johnson:

Temerko’s company Aquind has donated more than £470,000.

Former Business Secretary Alok Sharma dined with executives from the company whose energy project he was due to approve, before eventually recusing himself.

The Integrated Review is riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions. There is a yawning gap between this government's words and its action
Russia: the government says it’s the most acute threat to Britain’s security, so why has it failed to implement any of the recommendations of the Russia Report?

Saudi arms sales: The government is the ‘penholder’ for Yemen, responsible for drafting UN resolutions to support the peace process, so why is it continuing to sell arms to Saudi Arabia? theguardian.com/world/2021/feb…

I have spoken for many years about declining high streets in our towns. A declining high street is a visible symbol of a town's relative prosperity and people feel that decline very deeply. @BBCPanorama
If the local population is ageing and/or struggling to make ends meet, the high street responds accordingly by replacing flagship retailers with discount stores.
Many of our towns are ageing rapidly. They are thus being stripped of the spending power required to sustain a vibrant mix of high street retailers. Which is one of the reasons why I've been passionately advocating for our towns.

I have just read the PM's Brexit plan, and it has changed…. For the worse. Here are the big changes.
1) Workers rights binned: the key protections in clause 34 now dropped entirely. No clarity on when or what rights workers will have in law by December next year.
2) New December 2020 cliff edge enshrined in law. The new Clause 33 sets a new one year cliff edge for our manufacturers and jobs, damaging our economy.
