My message to this Government is simple: show determination and ban the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Britain must not tolerate those who threaten lives on our shores, and for years the IRGC has threatened people on British soil. Our security services have already foiled around 20 Iranian-linked plots involving sabotage and assassination here in the UK. That should concern every one of us.
Yet despite repeated calls across Parliament, the IRGC is still not proscribed. Defence of the realm begins with the defence of our own country. If an organisation is threatening, intimidating and pursuing people here in Britain, we should act. Proscribing the IRGC would give our security services stronger powers to disrupt and stop those responsible.
Hi @Keir_Starmer
What happened to “Labour would freeze your council tax”?
Or “Not a penny more on your council tax…No ifs, no buts”?
Many people across the country are opening letters for higher council tax bills.
Labour deserve the local election annihilation coming in May.
🚨 Well done to Worcestershire County Council.
This caught my eye while going through contract spend last week.
Normally it’s millions on consultants, translation services or firms booking travel.
So it was refreshing to see a council spending £792,000 fixing the roof of a local library.
Not flashy. Not political.
Just maintaining a public service people actually use.
This is what people expect from their council.
More of this please.
Another former sub postmaster has died, still waiting for compensation for being wrongly convicted in the Post Office scandal.
Parmod Kalia had his conviction overturned in 2021, 20 years after being sentenced to six months in jail after being falsely accused of stealing £22,000

Last year water company fat cats raked in a £15million bonanza, shareholders have been paid another £900 million, and all while bills have increased anything up to 54%, WCs have been found guilty of 1200 criminal offences and not a single industry executive has ever been prosecuted.
Getting tough on the industry?! Really?!

There's more to do, but our economic plan is the right one.

Job number one is easing the cost of living pressure that many people still feel.
Today’s GDP figures show our economy is growing. That means more money back in your pocket.
I know there’s more to do, but we are heading in the right direction.
🇬🇧 The UK Ministry of Justice has ordered the deletion of Courtsdesk's extensive archive of magistrates' court records, a tool used by over 1,500 journalists to monitor cases and expose systemic issues, citing data protection breaches and unauthorised data sharing.
Opposition MPs and critics, including Conservatives and Reform UK figures, accuse the Labour government of risking future cover-ups, warning the move could hinder scrutiny of scandals like grooming gangs by limiting searchable historical data, even as ministers insist official court records remain intact and the decision protects victim privacy.
The archive must be wiped within days following a final government refusal last week.
