28 years ago today, the Good Friday Agreement was signed, one of Labour’s proudest achievements. Working in Northern Ireland, I saw first-hand the transformation peace brought to communities. At a time of global instability, it reminds us that peace must be built and protected.

The difference clean power makes to our energy security 👇

British taxpayers cannot be expected to fund the lives of those who exploit the system or break our laws. Asylum support and accommodation will only be available to those who play by our rules.

My focus is, and always will be, the British national interest.

🚨STARMER BLASTS TRUMP: IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT UK FAMILIES HAVE SKY HIGH ENERGY BILLS! 😳 Prime Minister Points Finger Directly At Us President For Punishing British Households With Wild And Soaring Price Swings Whoa! Keir Starmer has taken the gloves off completely and is now openly blaming President Donald Trump, alongside Putin, for the sky-high and fluctuating energy bills hammering UK families and businesses. Speaking during his Gulf visit as oil prices surged above $110 a barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions and Trump’s strong rhetoric, the Prime Minister unleashed his frustration at global leaders he claims are causing the chaos. “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world,” Starmer declared. This provocative swipe escalates transatlantic tensions, but critics are pointing to Starmer’s net zero obsession, refusal to allow new North Sea drilling, and heavy green taxes have left Britain dangerously reliant on volatile imports, making UK energy prices among the highest in the world regardless of international events.

Everyone’s had enough.

The UK has been working with partners to support the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and to promote a swift resolution to this conflict. We're working with allies across the world to help people back here in the UK.

This is the difference a Labour government makes. Every employer taking on a young person who has been out of work will receive a £3000 Youth Jobs Grant. Labour investing in business, supporting growth and creating jobs.

The Prime Minister welcomed the ceasefire as he visited British troops in the Gulf. British troops are there to defend our bases and sovereign territory. We hope the ceasefire remains, but we will not be dragged into any wider conflict. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Country first. Always!

He’s right. His first priority is the safety and security of the British people, the defence of our country.

Make no mistake about it. Under the Tories and Reform the minimum wage would not have increased. Workers on the minimum wage and getting a well deserved pay rise this week thanks to the Labour government. Labour, rewarding working people while Reform voted against it.

We’re backing the next chapter of South Yorkshire’s industrial heritage, with over 400 new industrial jobs through this major hydrogen investment. This is our clean energy mission in action: rebuilding our energy security with clean homegrown power and good industrial jobs.

The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran today is welcomed by the UK and our allies. The goal now must be a lasting end to the war. Alongside our international partners, the UK will work to ensure a return to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

1/ Today as we approve Springwell Solar farm, set to be the UK’s largest approved power‑producing solar farm, @NESO have confirmed a new solar record, with over 14.4GW of clean power generated at the peak. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

This famous horse trainer in South Africa was beaten inhumanely with a shovel then tide up with copper wire, strangled with a cable and then executed. This happened on Easter weekend! South African farmers are not being killed in South Africa they are be slaughtered and tortured in the most horrific ways known to humanity. All this is inspired by the song “kill the Boer” @POTUS @elonmusk @MYANC @CyrilRamaphosa

@UKLabour cowardly spineless quisling lying bastard

Labour is guided by the interests of Britain and the British people. And we are clear: those interests require close partnership with our allies.

Jordan Peterson shared one of the most sobering statistics I’ve heard in a long time. The U.S. Armed Forces — after over a century of careful psychometric research driven by life-and-death necessity — will not induct anyone with an IQ below 83. They concluded that there is simply nothing in the military (at any level) that such a person can be trained to do without being counterproductive. Peterson noted that this threshold captures roughly one in ten people. And if the military’s complexity is even roughly comparable to broader society, that means about 10% of the population has no viable place in our cognitively demanding world. He emphasized that this isn’t about lack of money or short-term training. The data shows it’s extremely difficult to turn low cognitive ability into the kind of adaptive, creative problem-solving that modern society requires. It’s a raw, uncomfortable truth about human variation that most people prefer not to discuss openly. What do you think — is this statistic something society needs to confront honestly, or is there a better way to think about it?
