We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Trump's "I love the inflation" is one of the most politically tone deaf statements I've ever heard.
No prez before him ever had a -50 pt or worse net approval in an inflation poll. Trump's done it 8+ times.
Trump's the only prez to ever hit 80% disapproval on gas prices.

British Defence Secretary John Healey sensationally quits, accusing beleaguered Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the finance ministry of failing to commit enough money to protect the country yahoo.com/news/politics/… @AFP with @joejackson

Extraordinary nugget in @ShippersUnbound’s excellent interview with Kemi Badenoch. Asked directly if she’d put Farage into No.10 if he fell short of a majority, she made clear the answer is yes. Seems very politically naive in both directions. Voters on the right now have one fewer reason to back the Tories over Reform. And in London and Lib Dem swings seats, the anti reform coalition just got a gift: “Vote Tory, get Farage.” No real upside to announcing this two years before polling day. Fascinated to see how CCHQ handle the follow ups….

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage
Reform is now the party of workers. Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK. We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

Israel enforced an invisible “dog line” during its ground operations in Gaza, IDF soldiers tell The Economist:
The Economist@TheEconomist
Jonathan once believed that Israel “had no choice but to fight in Gaza”. Today the former IDF soldier is “ashamed” of what he and his platoon did to Palestinians. Register for free to read his story in full economist.com/interactive/18…

#Tennis overlords should strip #Paris #rolandgarros of major championship status & reward another European city like Madrid. Crowd turnout abysmal every year & insulting to players. 2nd game on middle Sunday & again main court near-empty. Give to city that actually appreciates it

The UK population is 70m.
Robinson got 50k to his march. That’s 0.07142857% of Brits. Not ‘a large majority’.

"We are not the enemy." This from the man who kicked an off-duty officer in the head in 2005, was nicked for attacking police on Armistice Day in 2010, and whose own rally last September left 26 Met officers injured.

My call to serving police officers working their shifts at our Unite The Kingdom and the West rally tomorrow. If you know or are related to any officer policing our event, please send them this.

The Guardian has released a statement after Nigel Farage posted a photo of one of their photographers' press passes, implying that a photojournalist threatened his safety:
"The Guardian is concerned by the recent publication on Nigel Farage’s social media pages of the professional credentials of a photographer working on behalf of the Guardian while he was working lawfully in a public space. Holding public figures to account is the role of a free press.
"As part of the Guardian’s journalism covering Nigel Farage’s purchase of a £1.4m property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift, a photographer took pictures from a public path and showed his press card when asked to identify himself."

Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit.
The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos.
This grifter must not become prime minister.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage says the £5m gift he received from Christopher Harborne was a "reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years"

Bit bonkers that on day when best quarterly GDP figures in G7 unveiled, alongside NHS waiting lists dropping at record amount in recent years, members of Britain's govt decide it's the right moment to implode the whole operation

Gary Lineker has branded it "the worst VAR decision I’ve seen" 😬
Hearts boss Derek McInnes called it "disgusting" 😡

Labour MPs sounding/looking as farcical as Tories just few years ago, trying to explain away internal squabbling & power plays when elected in just ‘24 to do EXACT opposite. However unpopular Starmer, appears complete idiocy & gift to Farage. Locking themselves out of power again

Under long-serving leaders such as Thatcher & Blair, the worst mid-term challenge a British PM might face was rowdy jeering in parliament. Now, #UK leaders regularly fear for their jobs, with Keir #Starmer the latest to face intense pressure to quit...

They also tried to build a Trump tower in Baku some years ago and ultimately failed. This scam may also collapse.
Eric Trump@EricTrump
I am so excited to share the official rendering of Trump Tower Tbilisi. With a prime location, in the heart of Tbilisi, this tower will quickly become a landmark as the tallest building in Georgia. This marks our first project in the region and we are so excited to bring it to life!

Labour MPs seem to be gifting Nigel Farage exactly what he wants... walking into his less-than-subtly laid trap with their eyes wide open 🙄

Could you say anything more vapid? Nobody reasonable disagrees with this so it's just the kind of wallpaper utterance that underlines why Starmer so incapable of connecting with voters...

When I say every child should have the opportunity to go as far as their talent takes them, I mean every single child. Children who grew up in poverty, with special educational needs, those who can't get a job. We back them: every young person struggling to find work will get a guaranteed offer of a job, training, or a work placement.
