@frankbrunoboxer Has it come to me playing a pint of Guinness 🙂

Evening Okay looking for an entertaining caption. 30 years ago there would have been an advert Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet!! If someone can really make me laugh I'll get the office to send you something!!

@AngelaRayner You got caught and paid up what you owed. Like stealing getting caught, crying and apologising putting it back and then being let off. Not exonerated.

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@ukhomeoffice Knocking on doors because of hurty words is now policing the local community

The Police Reform Bill introduces the biggest reforms to policing in 200 years. We are putting officers back at the heart of local communities, equipping them with the tools to deal with evolving threats and tackling neighbourhood crime.

@Kevin_Maguire You do realise it's written by the Government you inept clown 🤡. He reads what they write you buffoon.

Billionaire nepo baby in a bejewelled crown on a glittering gold throne in an unelected House of Cronies promises working people a fair deal. Welcome to Britain’s Disney democracy.

@deadlyweapns A 50 dollar drone would totally destroy it. It has to open in order to fire making it useless against drones. Drones require a new method of fighting it's totally changed how battles can be fought.

Swiss Engineering is Truly Next-Level

@RichardBurgon "Et tu, Brute?"

We need an orderly timetable for Keir’s departure and a proper democratic leadership election - not a Wes Streeting-organised palace coup.

Spencer Pratt who's running for mayor. This is an award winning video, brilliantly done. Whomever did it should get a raise 👏

@piersmorgan Wtf happened to you Piers

Horrifying, shameful and scandalous. 👇👇

@campbellclaret Well you and Blair just lied in order to get what you wanted

Trump showing how the right wing populists operate once they get real power

@AngelaRayner Are they all mums? Do you know the difference between a man and a woman? Never know with Labour

Today, I’ve been honouring a longstanding commitment to a group of determined school Mums to join them to raise funds for SEND-friendly playground facilities. When the going gets tough…

@afneil Come on Andrew, if Mandy was the answer what was he taking to ask that question.

You really have lost the plot. If Gordon Brown is the answer what was the question?

Always missed, Always loved. Happy birthday babe xxxx

@AlistairCarns Look at his first appointments, he's got the #mandycomplex he can't stop himself fooking things up. @HarrietHarman in charge of women and girls but can't say it's wrong for a bloke to change with them or compete in sport against them. What a cluster fook

Tough election results for Labour and no point pretending otherwise. People are frustrated, and with good reason. We need a serious look at where policy, delivery and campaigning are falling short. We also shouldn’t kid ourselves that Reform or Green slogans amount to a serious plan for the country. They don’t. The challenges Britain faces are real, difficult and long term. The Birmingham Council is now more ‘split’ than ever before, but regardless we will continue to work to deliver for our constituents across these new challenges. The answer is not more noise or easy answers. It’s having the courage to take difficult decisions, deliver properly, rebuild a country that is secure and resilient. To all the Labour team, tough times don’t last, tough people do. Stay focused, keep moving forward and keep delivering. The aim is to lay your head on your pillow in three years and be confident that we did everything in our power to make the United Kingdom the best it possibly can be.

@AlistairCarns You said the same when you appointed Mandy

This is v good news!

@Keir_Starmer You're incapable of learning from the your mistakes. @HarrietHarman doesn't know the difference between a man and a woman, how can this be you saying we need to listen to the ppl. Another Mandelson monumental cluster fuck of a decision. Step down

@DaleVince Your agenda on full view for all to see

The Telegraph are wrong to slag this guy off for what he shared and said. The fact that there was a third victim who was Muslim was news to me until I read this story, that shocked me - it has been missing from many stories and headlines. Why? Who knows. Maybe because it challenges the simple narrative of this as an anti semitic attack, or maybe it just wasn’t the part of the story that appealed to editors - but you can’t argue with the fact that this has been missing in many stories and headlines. And Misan is right to point it out. Massive irony - I was totally unaware of this fact until reading of criticism of a guy who posted about it, for posting about it. Things are a little crazy right now on this issue. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/0…

@andrewlawrence The biggest problem, House of Lords, Quangos and The Civil Service.

Who's laughing now?

@LizWebsterSBF Two extreme lefty luvies talking crap that no one really wants to hear

🚨 Cathy Newman: “We’ve had five Prime Ministers since Brexit. Has Brexit made Britain ungovernable?” Ian Hislop: “It looks like it.”

@zarahsultana @jk_rowling And the race card, quel suprise

How does it feel to have far-right racist thug Tommy Robinson amplifying your attack on me, @jk_rowling? What is it about a brown Muslim socialist woman that you have an issue with? It’s been nearly a week and you still haven’t answered: why have you not once spoken about the genocide of Palestinians in over two years? We’re still waiting, Joanne.

@DaleVince And your getting no contracts for the financial contributions to the labour party 🙄

Unpopular with the right wing media and politicians of course, Keir Starmer is still vastly more popular as choice of PM - than ‘loadsa (foreign) money Farage’. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
