Today marks one year since the horrific murder of my friend Charlie Kirk. It is a painful reminder of the consequences of political violence. Charlie loved Britain. He visited many times, and always spoke fondly of what he believed was a once great nation that could become great again. He was such a remarkable advocate for free speech, his Christian faith, and for Western civilisation. He made a long lasting impact on America and the world in such a short time. He was truly an extraordinary man, and we were all blessed to know him. My thoughts today are with Erika, Charlie’s family, friends, and all those who continue to mourn his loss.

I thought Burnham knew British pubs and hotels are on their knees. So why is he introducing a Holiday Tax? Holidays in Britain will become hundreds of pounds more expensive. Reform mayors won’t touch it.
