Absolute horror. Al Jazeera confirms the Trump administration's near total fuel blockade on Cuba is causing infant mortality to surge. Doctors are literally operating blind in the dark as life saving machines shut off. This is a deliberate crime against humanity.

Today millions will get sick pay for the first time, and from day one Paternity leave from day one Ending the two-child benefit cap will lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty. Union campaigning & a Labour government making a difference. Progress made. More needed.

@Tush27J Words fail me.

Morning all. As Donald Trump loves throwing insults around; caption this. Only the worst possible insults allowed. #BBCBreakfast #r4today

Love this. The owners of @Cougarmania have been supportive of 🇺🇦 rugby league which has lost players to the war. Since they saw @adamhills and me discussing it on TV, they have provided kit for all national sides, driven it to Kyiv themselves and now at the second time of trying brought over youth players - boys and girls - to train, play a competitive match, go to professional games (they were at Keighley yesterday and Castleford today) and generally have a good time. @MrRypod and @itskauegarcia are genuinely good people and it is fantastic to see these kids enjoying this great sport in Northern England, and feeling the support this country overwhelmingly has for their country in its fight for survival against Russia.

@sthelenscouncil erecting a memorial to all women who served in the war effort not just combatants.

🚨 MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust. Called it a war crime. Said it is “not solving anything.” And told Americans directly — call Congress. End this war.

NEW🚨| 9.6 million workers set to benefit from stronger sick pay as of today. * 1.2 million workers - majority low-paid women - get access to statutory sick for the first time. * 8.4 million will get sick pay from the first day of illness - instead of having to wait four days.

Lee Anderson posted "Enough is Enough" on Channel crossings this morning. Here is the actual GOV.UK data, updated yesterday. 30 March 2026: 0 arrivals. 0 boats. 31 March 2026: 0 arrivals. 0 boats. 1 April 2026: 325 arrivals. 5 boats. 2 April 2026: 0 arrivals. 0 boats. 3 April 2026: 0 arrivals. 0 boats. 4 April 2026: 0 arrivals. 0 boats. 5 April 2026: 0 arrivals. 0 boats. Source: GOV.UK — Small boat activity in the English Channel, updated 6 April 2026. For context, here is the annual picture from the House of Commons Library: 2022: 45,800 arrivals — the peak, under the Conservatives. 2023: 29,400 arrivals — under the Conservatives. 2024: 36,800 arrivals — under the Conservatives. 2025: 41,500 arrivals — first full year under Labour. 2026: Near zero in late March and early April. The Iran war has disrupted smuggling networks across the region. Crossings have effectively stopped. The "invasion" narrative Reform is running this morning is based on data that no longer reflects reality. "Enough is Enough" — agreed. Enough of politicians screaming about a crisis using figures that are days out of date. The receipts are on GOV.UK. They always are.

“F*ck-off you n*gger b*tch. F*ck-off you Pakistani b*tch…you’ll need police protection. “ This is the racist rant thrown at a brown woman in Balham, South London. If you know this thug’s identity please contact ⁦@metpoliceuk⁩. Sending solidarity @BhavaniVadde

Private Joseph Bailey during the Battle of the Somme, 1916. This photograph was taken just hours before the Sheffield Battalion soldier was killed in action.

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

@CatHobbs @LindenLyn @Feargal_Sharkey @WindrushWasp @Channel4 @C4PublicAffairs @C4Press No. There is no question that water should be publicly owned. Why waste £££ on referendum. They could get back what they paid but not a penny more. They've had their noses in the trough for long enough. Water nationalisation more important than trains.

Woop woop! @Feargal_Sharkey totally nails it on Channel 4 News just now 🔥🔥🔥 Calling for a REFERENDUM so the public can decide whether to bring water into public ownership Alongside @WindrushWasp + local sewage groups SIGN THE PETITION if you agree 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7626…
