Punish Iranian govt
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been freed from her Iranian jail after spending six years in prison on fake spying charges.
While this is a cause for great excitement and celebration the Iranian government should now be held to account for her years of mistreatment.
Economic sanctions would appear to be the most effective way to punish the Iranian regime.
Iran must learn that there are consequences for putting British citizens in prison for no reason.

Mother's Day meal
This March I am supporting Mary’s Meals’ lovely Mother’s Day campaign, Mums Make Mary’s Meals.
These wonderful women volunteer their time so that children can have a good meal and the chance of an education that can lead to a better life. Just like my mum and others here in the UK, they know the food will nourish their little ones and give them the energy to learn and play.
This Mother’s Day, you can show your love and appreciation to the wonderful women in your life by giving them a gift from Mary’s Meals – the charity has a beautiful range of gift cards and digital gifts, starting from just £15.90, that will feed a child every day for full a school year.
Please visit marysmeals.org.uk for more information about the Mums Make Mary’s Meals campaign or to buy a truly special Mother’s Day gift.
