Today is the 75th anniversary of Victory over Japan & end of WW2.

Sad to hear the cute cat Welly from @lostfoundkent, who appeared on my Christmas card, died after being hit by a car, & didn’t stop or report it. Vital that compulsory reporting of traffic accidents leading to injury/death of a cat is introduced, as in my Parliamentary Cats Bill https://t.co/rucqZO1PWB — PolitiTweet.org

The Court of Appeal has ruled Shamima Begum can return to 🇬🇧. As I said in 2019 interview, Begum's actions were abhorrent, but 🇬🇧 stands for fairness, justice & an international rules-based system. Anyone who commits a crime must face the full force of the British legal system — PolitiTweet.org
