@DavidLammy You are a disgrace to the office that you hold and don’t represent the views of the British population

This is how far the Conservative Party has fallen. Stoking anti-Muslim hate and dressing it up as ‘British values’.
This does not represent the Britain I know or love - tolerant, diverse and proud of it.
The hate being peddled towards Muslims by the Tories has no place in our politics or our society.

Labour is calling on Kemi Badenoch to sack her Shadow Justice Secretary over his appalling online remarks about Muslims. @annaturley has written to the Tory leader👇

@Keir_Starmer I have never been so ashamed of a British 🇬🇧 Prime Minister !!
English
I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country.
I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths.
That’s British values.
The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.

I will always make decisions in the national interest. That’s why we did not join the offensive action against Iran.
Reform and the Tories would’ve rushed us into war without a plan to get us out.

This Labour government is fighting people's corner.
We're cutting energy bills.
We're calling out price gouging.
And just now the Prime Minister has set out further support for those who use heating oil.
Affordability is the number one issue, and we're determined to act.

@AlexBallingerMP To Alex Ballinget MP from an Ex Service Member of 34 years We love Kemi Badenoch we do not wish her to apologise!!
English
Still no apology from Kemi Badenoch for saying RAF personnel are just "hanging around" in the Middle East, despite flying missions round the clock to keep our troops safe.
I've written with 15 cross-party veteran MPs to ask her to withdraw her disrespectful remarks.

@DrChrisParry My job as the Surface Flotilla CPOMA(O) in my days in South Terrace in the 1990s was to Medically inspect every Royal Navy Warship/ Ship including the largest Carrier to the smallest HMS Gleaner The P2000 University Boats !

But with seriously armed warships not cabin cruisers.

Is it time to bring back the Royal Navy Cyprus Squadron. It was formed in February 2003 in support of Operation Telic, the British invasion of Iraq, and disbanded in April 2010. This followed threat assessments, and attacks in 1986 by pro-Libyan militants @ModernNavy @ModernNavy

@lucybrazier Agreed I have stopped watching 👀 it for exactly the same reasons!!

It’s called Question Time. The format is supposed to be that the audience ask questions and the panel answers. Fiona is meant to moderate. Week after week, she interrupts, talks over people and aggressively pushes her own agenda. It’s becoming almost unwatchable. #bbcqt

@British_Airways @mandyjbarrett British Airways really need to sort out their Robotic Responses to their customers- They just don’t care when answering customers genuine questions or requests for assistance!!

@mandyjbarrett Sorry about that, Mandy. We hope you weren't waiting too long to check in. Anthony

As usual @British_Airways only one check in open at Tenerife South. Tui, EasyJet and even Ryan Air have multiple desks open. Tell me again why we should
Fly with you ?

RAF Officer attending an Iftar in Manchester. Says more people should do it & then they would understand more about Islam, he thinks this is why people have a problem with muslims.... i disagree. He also says he's attended many muslim events and they've always treated him with respect..... of course they have.... for now 🤷♀️

From 0 to 10, how much confidence do you have in Keir Starmer? The higher the number, the more confidence you have. On his best day, I will give him a 0.

The deployment of #815NAS Wildcat attack helicopters demonstrates our ability to respond rapidly to emerging threats and protect UK interests wherever they arise.
Our people train constantly for exactly this kind of mission, and it’s a privilege to see their professionalism and combat readiness delivering protection of Cyprus.
@RAFAkrotiri @RoyalAirForce @AirMobilityRAF

Godspeed to the men and women of @815NAS from @RNASYeovilton who have arrived with their Wildcats at @RAFAkrotiri courtesy of a @RoyalAirForce C-17 to bolster the aerial defence of Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean against drones. 🔗 royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/marc…

@PolitlcsUK @ModernNavy Hope they had enough money left to buy the missiles to use !!!

@TBrit90 We are unfortunately tied to this idiot who represents Apparently Plymouth!! and the military!!! Ask him who disposed of HMS Albion HMS Bulwark the type 23s

Defence minister helping ID an AS-90 workshop in Ukraine for Russia to bomb.
Christopher Miller@ChristopherJM
Seems @DefenceHQ realized it’s big video “reveal” showing British engineers at a workshop repairing vehicles inside Ukraine was quite a flub, as it revealed identifiable features and featured @LukePollard going so far as to describe the surroundings, making it likely to be geolocated and targeted by Russia. The post has been taken down but the damage is done.

@RoyalNavy @smrmoorhouse @HMSDragon Oh hello Fleet Commander-It’s your Job to have at least a fleet ready escort ready - what commitment it’s there job just like when I went at no notice to the Falklands War on HMS Fearless and to the Gulf War !!
English
Fleet Commander, @smrmoorhouse, visited @HMSDragon as the destroyer made her final preparations ahead of her mission to the Eastern Med.
VAdm Steve Moorhouse showed admiration in the ship’s company for their commitment and professionalism in readying their warship for action.
English
@afneil Pathetic Chief of Defence a puppet for the Government when allowed to speak to the media!!?
English
Distinctly underwhelming. Just unconvincingly repeating government talking points. Why doesn’t he leave that to ministers?
But I love how he claims the Royal Navy has ships all over the place — omitting to mention that we have none where they are currently needed — Eastern Mediterranean, Gulf and Red Sea. Not one. Zero. Zilch. He’s clearly a Master of Military Forward Planning.

@DrChrisParry Pathetic response by our Pathetic Government!!

Patronising twaddle after the fact doesn't cut it.
You let them all - and us - down.

This week, our Armed Forces have shown extraordinary professionalism and dedication. They are protecting British lives and British interests in the Middle East. And that work continues ⬇️

“Deployed to take out Iranian drones” 🗣️
Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry, Luke Pollard, gives an insight into the role of Wildcat helicopters being send to Cyprus🚁

@KemiBadenoch Oh and Cyprus 🇨🇾 is in NATO ???? Lammy has said !!
English
David Lammy has just U-turned and changed the Government’s position on striking Iran’s ability to attack our bases and our allies. Good.
If this is their new position I welcome it, it is the Conservative position and what I called for at PMQs this week….

BREAKING David Lammy, the deputy prime minister, suggests that Britain could mount defensive airstrikes at Iranian missile sites. He says that it would be legal to do so Sir Keir Starmer and John Healey have repeatedly refused to say whether Britain could mount airstrikes of its own against targets in Iran in recent days The legal basis is clearly there - we have already given the US to carry out defensive strikes from UK-US bases on the basis of collective self defence Lammy has gone further here in 1) Confirming that they would be legal and 2) Suggesting that 'we can take down sites' ourselves Q: The UK could attack Iranian missile sites from our bases? Lammy: I'm not here to act as a lawyer but I think you're viewers understand that in response to being attacked yes we can take down sites that are anticipating attacking our people Q: We could fire at an Iranian missile base because we anticipate it is about to fire at us? Lammy: It is my understanding that would be legal
