Rachel Reeves cutting VAT on family summer activities is exactly the kind of practical politics people want to see. Helping families afford days out, freezing fuel duty and easing pressure during the holidays instead of endless culture wars? More of this please.

@ITV absolute disgraceful Andrex advert on prime time tv. With so much inconsistency about levels of acceptable sensitivity, this is outrageous.

@shouq_al90149 None of those

Who would you choose??

@UKLabour The public do not want your definition of change.

Labour was elected to change this country. That is what the public want, and what they deserve. Tough days like today don’t weaken our determination to deliver that change. They strengthen it.

@StephenMorganMP You are deluded

Labour is delivering for Britain, and by voting Labour tomorrow, your local team will continue to deliver for our community. 🥣 Rolling out free breakfast clubs 🏠 Renters’ Rights Act 🏥 Over 5 million more NHS appointments ✂️ Cutting energy bills 💷 Raising the minimum wage and state pension 🚨Remember! To stop Reform in Central Southsea, Fratton, St Jude, Charles Dickens and Cosham re-elect your existing Labour councillors.

@Mishi_2210 Withdrew

No word starts with w and ends with w !! Prove me wrong??

@KemiBadenoch Nice touch Kemi

In the midst of all the news today, and with Parliament prorogued, many people may not have noticed that this was the final time the hereditary peers sat in Parliament before being forced out by Labour. I want to pay an extra special tribute to them. Combined they had 1784 years of parliamentary experience, wisdom and service to this country. That is not something easily replaced, and it should not be casually discarded. Most were Conservatives. All were public servants. They have brought to public life judgment shaped over decades, deep expertise, institutional memory, and a sense of duty that has strengthened Parliament and, very often, improved legislation in ways the public will never fully see. Their record speaks for itself. They have served in war and peace, in government and opposition, in defence, diplomacy, farming, business, science and public service. They have not merely occupied seats in the Lords, they have contributed to the life of the nation. That is why what has happened matters. Hereditary peers are a living part of Britain’s constitutional inheritance that Labour is casually tearing up. Labour has rubbed away another part of our heritage, not to strengthen Parliament but to replace it with political appointees, four of whom it has already had to suspend the whip from because they were so inappropriate. That contrast says rather a lot. At a time when public trust in politics is fragile, I think it is worth saying plainly that experience, seriousness and tradition still matter. Service still matters. Duty still matters. So today, as an era closes, I want to put on record my profound gratitude and admiration for our hereditary peers. Britain has been better governed because of them. The Conservative Party has been stronger because of them. And Parliament will be poorer without them. Their contribution will long outlast the petty politics that has brought this moment about.

@LondonEconomic Utter bollocks

It's not all doom and gloom for Starmer

@SteveReedMP Keep believing it son, nobody else does

Labour is changing the country but people aren’t feeling it yet. We will keep working hard until they do.

@labourpress What that alleged mess you are referring to, it is nothing as bad as what you have achieved over the last 20 months.

Yet still no apology for the mess they left Britain in.

@BBCPolitics ‘Summit man’ that’s all he has to offer.

"Together with President Macron I will convene a summit of leaders this week to drive forward the international effort we have built in recent weeks" PM Keir Starmer announces summit with aim of reopening Strait of Hormuz Follow live: bbc.in/4chgfCY

@AshfordLabour You are not building, you are breaking Britain with every decision and policy you make. Your party is finished.

Start your week by joining the Labour Party today. Its not easy being in government. But we are building a stronger country and this year people are starting to see the benefit of the decisions we have made in government. join2.labour.org.uk/join

@JeremyVineOn5 Without doubt.

@JeremyVineOn5 Without. The alleged problems of the ‘14 years’ have been massively overstated. The problems of the 20 months have been catastrophic.

Would Kemi Badenoch be a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer? A new poll suggests the Tory leader has seen a significant popularity boost in recent months, with the highest net approval rating of any of the party leaders. Would you like to see the Tories make a comeback?

@GMB what an absolute buffoon Ranvir Singh is when interviewing James Cleverly.

@BBCPolitics Difficult for the @BBC they will never attack Labour but like Starmer select they will deflect the conversation to meet their anti Tory, Reform and Trump agenda

“Smash the gangs has been a total abject failure” On English Channel small boat crossing numbers, Nigel Farage asks PM “what is plan B?” Keir Starmer says the Reform UK leader has “absolutely no judgement” and attacks his stance on Iran war #PMQs bbc.in/47UF06x

@benonwine Without doubt

Do you believe Boris Johnson was a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer?

@UKLabour You created the problem by taxing business. You are no trying to claim that you are fixing a problem, whilst making the state bigger and destroying the economic growth engine. Pathetic.

This Labour Government is investing in the future of our young people.

@BBCBreakfast Take everyone to their taxation limit and state fund those that break. That sums up Labour nicely.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is to offer a package of support to households struggling with higher heating oil costs following the global impact of the US-Israel war in Iran. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
