29 Jun 2026 Topical Questions

22 Jun 2026 UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence
It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Mrs Harris. I agree wholeheartedly that conflating a people’s religion with a Government’s actions is totally unacceptable. Criticising the state of Israel and its actions, especially with its…
15 Jun 2026 Brain Cancer
I will begin by paying homage to a young girl by the name of Eiliyah: when her tumour took over her right hand, she began to learn to draw with her left, because she loved arts and crafts more than anything else. When she could not dart ar…

10 Jun 2026 Belfast: Violent Disorder
We all condemn the actions on Monday night, and we look with concern at the subsequent rioting, but my concern is about those who make it possible for such actions to happen—those who politicise and weaponise. When I was younger, in the 19…
9 Jun 2026 Middle East
