Holocaust Memorial Day on 27th January 2023
It was very encouraging to read that Bob Blackman who is the Conservative MP for Harrow East has submitted a document in Parliament in celebration of the Holocaust Memorial Day this year. The piece can be seen here on their … Continue reading
Several MPs have endorsed some recent EDM documents
It is encouraging that several of the Early Day Motions that were set out just before Christmas have been raised up in the first few days since Parliament has reopened. One of the EDM documents was the “Celebrating the birth … Continue reading
