Jonathan Hinder MP

If our police officers do not have the confidence to pursue dangerous criminals on our behalf, it is the law-abiding public who will suffer. My question to the Home Secretary this afternoon 👇

Agree. Stabilising house/rent prices is crucial. For that we need much more supply. But the demand side is almost never talked about. We’re aiming to build 300,000 homes per year (very challenging), but net migration is still running at 400,000. Do you see the problem here?

This morning @clairebakermsp & I met with Sandie Peggie, who I have spoken in support of in Parliament. Sandie has 30 years’ service as a nurse at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy & should never have had to take legal action to uphold her right to change in a single sex space.

“Water is a privatisation that gives the entire Thatcherite concept a dirty filthy name.”

Superb article

"I’m reminded of the Tavistock GIDS clinic’s failure to track the adult lives of children to whom it prescribed puberty-blocking drugs... Tory Rebecca Paul & Labour’s Jonathan Hinder called for long-term medical research." @VictoriaPeckham on #EggDonation thetimes.com/article/e43d30…

Probably one of the most prophetic paragraphs of the twentieth century - from Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985)

There are lots of Qs to answer on how this could have happened and the decisions made in response. And there must be accountability. But this is a very helpful, clear explanation by @LukePollard, setting out the facts and what the govt has done since inheriting this mess.

“We ought to reassert ourselves as a bulwark against exploitative capitalism, ensuring that more of our country’s wealth goes into the pockets of the workers. It is the workers who create our wealth, after all, through the strength of common endeavour.” Read my piece below 👇

This is absolutely right. We must address the actual reasons people are driven to Reform UK. Don’t just blame media, talk about the electoral system, focus on personal attacks etc. Be decisive. Sort out immigration, overhaul dysfunctional state, dismantle rentier capitalism.

Properly taxing land/property is the “wealth tax” we definitely need. Incredibly unfair council tax and counter-productive stamp duty need to go! Great to see @matthewsyed making the case.

Apparently this is NOT a parody.

Brilliant article by my colleague @AndyMacNaeMP. “This back-and-forth between forecasts and policy reactions creates volatility, rather than stability.” 💯

Important piece by @siennamarla. As I say in the article, “the framing is always about would-be parents, not the women who are donating their eggs or the child themselves and what their welfare needs might be.” politicshome.com/news/article/m…

Absolutely sickening to watch. I will say more about this when the trial concludes. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

For the very first time, migrants arriving via small boat will be detained and returned to France in short order. This Government is breaking the business model of criminal smuggling gangs and securing our borders.

Austerity saw the national debt increase because productivity & growth flatlined. Osborne pursued deficit reduction via cuts to capital budgets, wages/incomes suppression (pensioners being the exception), and prolonged squeezes on Departmental budgets. The two phenomena are…

There have been many achievements, but the lesson from the first year of government is that only radical, bold and fundamental reform of the state will do. Or we face political disaster. My piece for @NewStatesman 👇 newstatesman.com/politics/2025/…

Reform and Tory numbers are very interesting 👇

*Question on the Police Federation* Our police officers need a body that provides them with strong, accountable and effective representation. They are not getting that from the Police Federation @PFEW_HQ Pleased that the Minister for Policing will be taking this up.
