@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives @KemiBadenoch so true.

On what would have been Margaret Thatcher’s 100th birthday, we remember a leader who reversed Britain’s decline. I’ll never forget meeting her. Even in her 80s, she had a presence that commanded the room. Her courage, conviction and total clarity of purpose not only inspired me, but generations of Conservatives around the world. She was underestimated by almost everyone. Mocked as a “grocer’s daughter”. Dismissed as a “housewife”. But she had the backbone to prove them all wrong, not by bending, but by staying loyal to her principles: free markets, individual responsibility and national strength. In 1979, she chose uncomfortable truth over comfortable lies, breaking a post-war consensus that was holding Britain back. She transformed this country: giving people the right to buy their homes, own shares in key industries, build better lives. Today’s world is different and we need new answers, but the choice is the same: managed decline or getting Britain back on track. Comfortable lies or uncomfortable truths. I choose truth. That’s why fixing welfare and restoring fiscal discipline so we live within our means is my top priority. That’s why we will scrap Stamp Duty to get Britain moving again, and enshrine a Golden Economic Rule to get the deficit down and stop reckless borrowing. Lady Thatcher’s legacy is my mission: to make Britain prosper again.

The crowd my girl sits around: A king, married to a future King, raising another future King; The CEO of Apple, the president of the United state, government officials and world leaders…🔥 If someone had told young Catherine growing up in Berkshire that she would grow up to become that Princess sitting in the midst of this crowd, especially after a dreadful year of cancer and health battles, I know she would have laughed in jest. Life truly writes the most beautiful fairytale❤️👸 #PrincessofWales

@BethRigby I feel sorry for her but as a high profile political person / being deputy PM with access to the best legal advice and supposedly the best brains/advisors this shouldn’t have happened or is it another ruse to get sympathy. a lot of households who have difficult circumstances.

I've interviewed Angela Rayner a number of times & she's always robust. Very different side of her today & she's clearly v upset about having to disclose details about her kids. I asked her is she thought about quitting to avoid that...she says her family wanted her to speak up

@Peston If the solicitor is at fault for giving incorrect advice or struck off the register. One should also be made aware of who the solicitor is so no one uses him for advice in the future. OR is it the poor solicitor was not given all the information. Smells fishy 🐟🐟

The crucial section from Angela Rayner’s statement on why she paid too little stamp duty - around £40,000 too little I understand - is this "When purchasing the property my understanding, on advice from lawyers, was that my circumstances meant I was liable for the standard rate of stamp duty.” If she can prove she was given the wrong advice by a qualified solicitor, then I assume both the PM’s ethics adviser and British people will give her the benefit of the doubt. Her job as deputy prime minister will remain in peril unless and until she can demonstrate that. PS I am struggling to get my head around the idea that any solicitor would have been so useless as to give her such bad advice. But maybe I am assuming a greater knowledge of stamp duty rules than is typical among property lawyers! That said, the “deeming” provisions to which she refers, that her solicitor apparently missed and that HMRC applies, are not arcane or abstruse, or “complex” in her words. They are pretty bog standard.

@miriam_cates 😐 if you are in public office one should make sure one is getting correct advice. It’s convenient to blame the lawyers. Let’s see what they have to say.

Angela Rayner has complex living arrangements as a result of her divorce and her son’s disability. She took professional financial advice, advice that a lawyer has now said was wrong. She is taking action to rectify the situation. Rayner should not be hounded out of office.

@holly__heart @SheldonMiller @ProudAFAmerican You will be very welcome to the UK.

We're starting to see a backlash from Europeans. How will this affect tourism this year? The small town near my cabin in UT is on the loop of 5 national parks that are favorites of European visitors. These businesses depend on summer tourism to survive the long winters (1/3)

@kaitlancollins Shamefully bullying by trump and Vance

What just happened in the Oval Office was nothing short of remarkable. What began with questions about security guarantees for a ceasefire with Ukraine turned into an angry shouting match between Trump, Vance and Zelensky. Trump was fuming, ending with, “We have empowered you to be a tough guy…You either make a deal or we are out. You don’t have the cards.”

@afneil Let’s have a petition to withdraw the invite.

After Trump’s disgraceful bullying of Zelensky today, aided and abetted by sidekick Vance, why would we want Trump to pay a state visit to the UK? Can the invitation letter be withdrawn?

@AlexBondODUA Yes

I'm proud of Zelensky. Trump/Vance looks pathetic. Do you agree? Yes/No

@krassenstein Disgusting behaviour- Trump and Vance behaving like bullies. Shame on the USA.

This is utterly repulsive! Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”

@UnityNewsNet Yes

BREAKING NEWS 🔥 🔥 🔥 Farmers warn Starmer they will SHUT DOWN Britain if they aren't listened to. A Spokesman said: "If Tuesday doesn’t work then the Government will have picked a fight with the wrong group of people. Farmers have lots of vehicles and equipment and if they wanted they could shut down every road in Britain." Would you support them?

Donald Trump would really hate it if you RTed this HISTORICALLY huge standing ovation Michelle Obama is getting in Michigan right now! So you know what to do…

@TheBarmyArmy Imran khan 😊

Without telling us your age, who is the first cricketer you fell in love with?

BREAKING: This moment during Kamala Harris’ interview with Fox News was by far her best moment of the campaign. Retweet to make sure every American sees this powerful moment.

@fopminui You are. Doing chores to help you and siblings is not work.

That this post has had 1.2M Views but only 2K thought that it was worth sharing tells us a lot about society and the rights of women these days. 1 million people just scrolled by looking for something else to read or post rather than call out the injustice that is meted out to females all over the World but especially in places like Afghanistan. They didn't have to make a post about this article but they could have reposted it as a show of support. This news from @AfghanistanTime is devastating for the young child brides that had escaped their captors (I don't say husbands) who forced marriage on them and will do so again because the Government says that it's ok to do so. Afghanistan 1970s 👇 How it's going How it was
