@VMMChamberlain @swklibdems Wow, that’s amazing!

Even the experts can see it. Elections expert Prof Tony Travers says what we already know Southwark isn’t a done deal. @swklibdems are strong, growing & pushing further across the borough. No overall control is possible and we’re the only credible alternative to Labour.

@BenObeseJecty @Dunsnortin Bollocks

@Dunsnortin If you can find an MP interrogating a wider range of defence issues than I am Chris I’ll be very impressed. (Spoiler: There isn’t)

There is a crushing inevitability about HMS Dragon being forced into port for maintenance. Four weeks late to the Eastern Mediterranean and lasted two weeks before suffering maintenance issues with the MOD claiming it’s a scheduled stop, just as the potential of retaliatory Iranian strikes within hours is the lead headline around the world. The Government knew the Royal Navy would need to deploy a Type-45 to the region in January. They failed to start preparations until it meant that HMS Dragon had to be brought out of maintenance in just six days because HMS Duncan, as the actual fleet-ready escort, is yet to undergo the power improvement project upgrade that would enable it to operate in warm waters. This Government’s management of our armed forces continues to be an international embarrassment.

@BenObeseJecty The Tories conspired in the destruction of of the once greatest Royal Navy. Bollocks to you.

@bphillipsonMP @ChronicleLive Only if the parent(s) use that money for the child’s wellbeing which is unlikely.

Yesterday in Newcastle, I met with families set to benefit from the scrapping of the two child limit. Parents will have more money in their pockets, children will have better life chances. That’s the difference a Labour government makes. My interview with @ChronicleLive 🎙️

@SteveDarlingMP Oh hello darling. You look great in a hat.

Congratulations to the team at the Arena in Torquay for pulling off their incredible 'Upbeat Weekender' over Easter. I had the pleasure of attending and seeing local band Too Hot perform, as well as The Selecter. I also want to shout out the staff at the Arena, who were exceptional. We are lucky to have such a great venue in Torbay and you can find out more about many great concerts which are coming up this summer here: arenatorquay.com #Arena #Concerts #Torbay #Torquay #Paignton #torbayweekly #TorbayHour #BoostTorbay #brixham #CommunityMatters #southdevon

@positive_pel @3LionsLDNW12 What about Andy McCulloch? Or even Andy Thompson?

@GrahamAshley19 @3LionsLDNW12 Close, but can’t justify putting him in over Ferdinand or taarabt

@ossymans @SteveDarlingMP I don’t want to.

@GrahamAshley19 @SteveDarlingMP Nor me . Out of curiosity, why not ?

A third of people in the UK don’t complete their bowel cancer screening test. Bowel screening helps spot bowel cancer before symptoms start, when it’s more treatable. This #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth, Bowel Cancer UK want everyone who receives their free bowel cancer screening test to complete and return it as soon as possible. #PassItOn

@PoFPodcast @jmentes82 @silverXdiavel @World_At_War_6 That is no less than a phrase of Polly’s.

@GrahamAshley19 @jmentes82 @silverXdiavel @World_At_War_6 Nothing says integrity like using a drone strike on a wedding.

🚨🇷🇺Chechen Fighters ‘Ready to Deploy’ to Iran if U.S. Launches Ground Invasion: Reports indicate that Russian Chechen military units have declared their readiness to deploy to Iran in the event of a ground invasion by the United States and Israel. These combat units, loyal to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and integrated into Russia's security apparatus, have stated they will intervene only if the current conflict escalates beyond air and missile strikes. Characterizing the potential mission as "jihad," Chechen forces have framed the intervention as a defense of the Islamic Republic against Western aggression. Intelligence suggests these fighters could be stationed at strategic locations, including Kharg Island or coastal sites along the Strait of Hormuz. If Putin approves, Russia could quickly send up to 1,000–5,000 elite rapid-deployment troops to Iran. However, a larger deployment remains unlikely due to logistical challenges and political complications stemming from the ongoing war in Ukraine. Moreover, sending Chechen soldiers to Iran would place them in direct confrontation with elite American Tier-1 special operations units and sustained U.S. air superiority. Who do you think will win that war?

@chrisry50168883 @labourunionsuk @danfrancis02 Are you referring to Nick Brown?

@GrahamAshley19 @labourunionsuk @danfrancis02 As do Labour politicians, usually with there fingers

Thanks to Labour’s Employment Rights Act, from today you can take paternity leave and unpaid Parental Leave from your first day on the job. 👩‍🍼👨‍🍼 That’s huge for new parents - now let’s get the Parental Leave and Pay Review done and go even further.

@SlyForTheRight The Tories are not right wing is the stating point of any conversation.

🚨 DEFECTED TO THE WINNING TEAM 🚨 A Reform UK councillor has had enough — and joined the Conservative Party. Welcome Cllr Cain Parkinson 👏 The truth is simple. The ONLY serious party on the right is the Conservatives. Reform? Flash in the pan. All noise, no solutions. People are waking up.

@budakaslantas36 @IDF Is your name an anagram?

@IDF Long live Iran, the enemy of Israel.

🎥WATCH: The Chief of Staff of the Home Front Command at the impact site of an Iranian ballistic missile launched at a civilian community in Haifa, northern Israel.

@FootballInT80s Don’t forget, book early 👍🏻

Preston North End. Sponsored by Pontins.

@pnefc Overall probably a fair result but only one team wanted to win at the end and it wasn’t PNE.

It ends all square at Deepdale. ⏹️ #pnefc

@afneil We’re not far away from that abyss.

Last year there were 14,651 murders in America involving guns. Britain? 32 So I suspect even you can see where the problem is. And we’re nowhere near an Islamist abyss.

@PoFPodcast @jmentes82 @silverXdiavel @World_At_War_6 I don’t think the Chechens would hide behind civilians wearing civilian clothing. They have more integrity and that’s why they would die.

@jmentes82 @silverXdiavel @World_At_War_6

@chrisry50168883 @labourunionsuk @danfrancis02 I agree with blocking people’s arseholes

@labourunionsuk @danfrancis02 blocking people that you don’t agree with is a arsehole move.

@WatfordFC They’re still crying on the mean streets of Rickmansworth.

The hosts take the points.

@PaulEmbery But he has always been making it up as he goes along. It’s nothing new. On the other hand the committee behind Biden were doing much the same as they would have been with Harris. It’s realpolitik US style 2020s.

Yesterday, he was calling them "crazy b**tards" and threatening to bomb them to hell. Today, they are "reasonable" people. This is not 4D chess. This is a man who has plainly lost control of the situation and is making it up as he goes along.

@GarethDavies007 I couldn’t imagine being married to an individual so hateful as her. Life’s far too short for that.

Colin has been married to Yasmin Alibi-Brown since 1990 Imagine being Colin

@UKLabour You need to describe the poverty experienced by the children and then explain how this will alleviate the poverty that you describe. You won’t or can’t do this because the concept of poverty is not absolute.

From today, the two child limit is lifted. That means 450,000 children will no longer grow up in poverty.
