@bphillipsonMP Feedback from the recent council elections seem to indicate that this level of change appraisal only starts and end here, on X, and perhaps on cabinet reports. Why are the people just not feeling it?
We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served.
10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on.
10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs & commutes.
Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹
❝This is a strong sign of NATO’s continued commitment to our partnership, of our persistent support for Ukraine, and the value of our cooperation.❞
— @SecGenNATO visits Ukraine 🇺🇦 with the North Atlantic Council
Today, during the Ukraine–NATO Council meeting, many countries said they see Ukraine in NATO. And that is absolutely true. No one said they don’t want to see us there, but some remain silent on the matter. As they say about both the EU and NATO – unanimity is required.
As for the EU, we do have unanimity. As for NATO, we do not yet. But I believe that most countries truly understand that Ukraine in NATO is something NATO needs no less than Ukraine does. I believe that even the Russians need Ukraine to be in NATO. Because in the future, it could be painful for them if Ukraine is not in NATO.

@King0243_PJC The UK government does this all the time with zero accountability..Remember how much has been wasted on HS2? That NHS app that never worked? It goes on and on and on! It's an absolute disgrace.
£715 MILLION to deport just 4 asylum seekers to Rwanda.
That’s £178 MILLION per person.
A catastrophic failure.
A monumental waste of taxpayers’ money.
Yet no public inquiry. No accountability. No consequences.
Why can’t we ban politicians responsible for this level of incompetence from ever holding public office again?
it’s financial vandalism.
J’ai échangé hier soir avec le Président Trump au sujet de la situation au Moyen-Orient.
J’ai salué les efforts déterminés qu’il mène pour parvenir rapidement à un accord entre les États-Unis et l’Iran, qui constitue une opportunité unique de construire un nouveau cadre de sécurité associant l’ensemble des acteurs concernés, afin de permettre une stabilisation durable de la région.
J’ai indiqué que nous étions prêts à soutenir pleinement ces efforts et à prendre toute notre part dans leur mise en œuvre. C’est le sens de la mission internationale que nous avons construite avec les Britanniques et nos partenaires, prête à être déployée dès qu’un accord sera conclu afin de contribuer à la sécurisation du trafic maritime dans le détroit d’Ormuz. Nous sommes également disposés à apporter notre expertise et nos capacités aux négociations plus larges qui doivent s’ouvrir, en particulier sur le volet nucléaire d’un accord.
J’ai enfin salué l’engagement du Président Trump en faveur de la souveraineté et de l’intégrité territoriale du Liban, et souligné l’importance d’un cessez-le-feu robuste et de notre appui collectif aux autorités libanaises.
@SprinterPress When will grown ups actually start governing the EU? This is fundamental insanity that has killed millions of innocent Ukrainians and Russians! Why is the EU so allergic to peace?
Can Kaja Kallas explain how more sanctions instead of peace dialogue will end the war in Ukraine?
Europe will never be a neutral mediator between Russia and Ukraine - Kaja Kallas
"Because we are on the side of Ukraine and are defending our own, key security interests," she added.
We are preparing new sanctions against Russia - Kaja Kallas
It’s time to end the de facto ban on air conditioning.
Only 3% of British homes have air con compared to 90% of homes in the US, or Japan.
We need to overturn our miserabilist approach to energy which says we alone can’t have air con or AI.
Let’s Make Britain Cool Again 🇬🇧
@martinmccluskey@ofgem Can someone clarify, please...does this mean that the government could override Oggem's price cap? You mean they could do this all along?
Today @ofgem announced the next energy price cap.
We've already acted – cutting the price cap by £117 from April, expanding the Warm Home Discount to 6m households & freezing fuel duty.
Ahead of winter, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and plan for all contingencies.
I want to praise the resilience of the Baltic people.
You have responded with calm and responsibility.
And with a clear message to Russia:
You will fail.

@RachelReevesMP Keep telling yourself everything you do is the right one. We, the electorate will let you know at the GE. it appears the local elections didn't give you a cause to pause and Rethink. Instead you all are doubling down. Right. We will also double down on our no labour votes.
I want every family to have fun this summer. That's why I’m cutting VAT on children’s activities and meals with Great British Summer Savings.
Our economic plan is the right one, to support families and businesses, and build a stronger and more secure Britain.
@YvetteCooperMP You pretending to be 'suddenly surprised' by the sadistic behaviour of Israel and its leaders? How much silence we have had from you and your zionist government for 2 years. When did you finally develop a human soul?
I am truly appalled at the video posted by Israeli Cabinet Minister Ben-Gvir taunting those involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla.
This violates the most basic standards of respect and dignity in the way people should be treated.
We are in touch with the families of a number of British nationals involved to provide them with consular support.
We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved.
@NXT4EU When did China ever say that they don't like the EU? On the contrary all they always say is their willingness to work with international partners for peace and development. Yet, the EU always revert to their default colonial antagonistic position with major world powers.
"Why China doesn't like the EU, why Russia doesn't. It is because if we stick together, if we operate together, then we are equal powers, we are strong."
- Kaja Kallas, EU foreign representative
@AndyBurnhamGM Northern Power House, their policy said. Level up, they added. HS2, etc. All of those only ended up putting money in some people's pockets. The north hasn't become a Powerhouse and leveling up is levelling downward l! HS2? Don't even ask. Welcome to the UK.
I have every confidence that President Trump fully understands the situation with Iran and will not continue to tolerate a refusal to negotiate in good faith along with Iran’s defiant aggression in the Strait of Hormuz and throughout the region.
It is abundantly clear to me that Iran has been very weakened militarily and economically. But at the same time, they have become more emboldened and aggressive.
A short but forceful response now would reset the conflict in all the right ways.
When it comes to Iran, it is imperative that we negotiate from a position of strength and dominance. We must finish what we started. I fear continuing negotiations without a forceful response prolongs the conflict, gives our allies doubt and will further embolden the Iranian terrorist regime.
@LBC No, we should be talking about politicians who take money from a foreign government to influence policy in the UK and provide military and diplomatic and media+silence cover for their incredibly unspeakable atrocities. Your lot has normalised this and it is treasonous!😡🤬
'Farage is taking £5 million from crypto, Zack Polanski isn’t paying his council tax… we should be talking about that!’
Deputy PM David Lammy thinks Labour should be holding opposition politicians to account, instead of focusing on party ‘infighting’.
