@wesstreeting We don’t want you either.. don’t bother trying. Thank you

@AngelaRayner We still Don’t want or need you in politics

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.

@AndyBurnhamGM I agree but listen to the people not just your elites. Stop this cuddling up to Europe we lost the referendum we must stand by it weather we like it or not

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

@Keir_Starmer You don’t keep us safe! You let Everyman and his dog in unchecked

This Christmas, a lot of people will be working hard to keep our country safe, often away from their families. We invited public sector workers to Downing Street for an early Christmas dinner to say thank you.

@LBC fake news for kids @NickFerrariLBC the BBC have just been found being one of the biggest fakes with the trump situation

@Keir_Starmer No thanks two tier

I know you're worried about the level of illegal migration into this country. Digital ID is another measure to make it tougher to work illegally here, making our borders more secure. Ours is a fairer Britain, built on change, not division.

@triffic_stuff_ @BBCNewsnight need to look at this

Farage got a lot of stuck for saying this but it’s but it’s TRUE! “They're eating the carp. They're eating the swans.” 🦢 Migrants have been filmed stealing swans and the RSPCA caught them actually cooking one👇😱

@YvetteCooperMP @SecRubio embarrassing

The UK and US share a special relationship built on decades of close cooperation. Innovation, growth, and security for people on both sides of the Atlantic are at the heart of this historic State Visit. Welcome @SecRubio 🇺🇸🇬🇧

@Keir_Starmer You are incompetent and we need a general election

Illegal migration is a business run by organised criminal gangs with no regard for human life. My number one priority is to put an end to this vile trade. Under our nationwide crackdown, raids and arrests are already up 50%. I won’t stop until we secure our borders.

@mufcMPB Yes 100%

Should Manchester United promote Chido Obi-Martin to the first team? 🌟👇

@RupertLowe10 My generation will be the first generation where we will not create more wealth than our parents..we need a government who invests in its own people and generations..

The entire foreign aid budget should be suspended, unless MPs give express consent on a case-by-case basis. There is no other way to put this... WE CAN'T AFFORD IT. Just look around - that British taxpayer money is needed here, in Britain, to benefit British people.

@LBC what about in the past where if you didn’t work you wouldn’t eat and struggle to survive? Look at France’s stance.

@mufcMPB We have to go to the academy nothing to Loose as it really can’t get any worse

@Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP How many actually turned up 😂😂

Today @RachelReevesMP and I spoke to leading CEOs to deliver a clear message: Britain is back, and open for business.

@mufcMPB Obi Martin

Who should start up front for Manchester United against Fulham today: 🇩🇰 Rasmus Højlund ❓OR❓ 🇳🇱 Joshua Zirkzee LET US KNOW! 🤔👇

@StevenJonMiller Yep purely based on the lies he and his government stated in his election campaign. His manifesto was and is all lies…

🚨BREAKING 😳 ‼️Elon Musk has confirmed that he believes the KING of the U.K should Dissolve Parliament and order a General Election for the sake and security of the U.K. 🇬🇧 Do U Agree With Elon⁉️

@ManUtd Get the youth in the team..

The game ends. #MUFC || #MUNNEW

@_UtdNate_ @RubenAmorimx @mufcMPB That’s why I said refresh it with some of our youth talent. It can’t get any worse an it? Obi Martin is definitely worth a run the guys a special talent

@Chefcyates @RubenAmorimx @mufcMPB because every ST we have doesn’t get any service when at the 9

@farmerjoefred @JamesDalyMP Embarrassment of bury this lad…

What's so amusing about the case brought forward by @JamesDalyMP against Angela Rayner is that it is showing him for the complete and utter idiot he is. It's almost parody.
