@Keir_Starmer Rubbish

Net migration has fallen 82%. I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering. I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

@SophyRidgeSky Fudging figures again.

Big unfolding story on immigration confirmed by figures from ONS today: Net migration nearly HALVED in the year to December 2025, falling to 171,000

@RachelReevesMP Big Deal, and that is Labour's answer to Britain's cost of living crisis.

Good news for families - every child aged 5-15 in England will travel free on buses this summer, with unlimited journeys, no registration required, and no cost to families. Our economic plan is the right one. Tackling the cost of living and building a stronger Britain.

@DanKingdom96 Dan, I respect your opinion, my concern is how long can clubs continue to invest in Cricket, with decreasing membership. It would be interesting to know how many persons watching the live streams make NO CONTRIBUTION to the cricket whatsoever and never will.

@longroomguy Have attendances at county matches decreased since streaming came in, and if so, are live streams the reason? Of course there are going to be times when people choose to stay home because of the live stream But I suspect the streams also compel people to go to...

In short - this is what you currently get for free, but you'll soon have to pay for it Incredibly short-sighted, the streams make county cricket relevant and accessible, and while this might generate a bit of extra revenue it won't outweigh the negatives of fewer people watching

@PhilBrownFTFC @lancscricket But members are helping to subsidise the Stream

@lancscricket I’m a member and will therefore receive this free but I still vehemently disagree with it.

@Jonatha76748992 @lancscricket Cheap entertainment I think.

@lancscricket £20 for me as a non member to watch the matches I can’t attend away from home. Granted it has been free previously, but personally I’ve no issue with this.

@RachelReevesMP @lindathomas_uk @BBCBreakfast Time will tell, Rachel Reeves believes in fairy stories

I make no apologies for our commitment to investing in the North of England, a region overlooked for far too long under previous governments.

@markgoldbridge No player should be bigger than the club they are employed by. Sets a precedent for others to use if Clubs give in to this type of tatic by players.

Sancho turned down a good wage from Chelsea. He was always coming back to run his contract down and make big money next summer on a free. Baffling why United have peddled getting a fee for him all summer.

@EdwardJDavey @Keir_Starmer With the country in the state that it is to propose another Bank Holiday, is a stupid proposal, 25% of the UK are on a permanent holiday it seems. But we'll done England Lionesses.

Back-to-back champions! The Lionesses have done it again and made us proud. How about it, @Keir_Starmer? Time for that bank holiday? 🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@Peston Cut overseas aid, and increase defence spending to 3% immediately.

The prime minister is expected to commit in coming days to increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade and possibly much sooner. The effective deadline for an announcement is Sir Keir Starmer’s historic meeting with President Trump on Thursday. Senior British officials believe it is imperative that he demonstrates to President Trump that the UK is doing its part in reducing Europe’s defence and security dependence on the US. Officials in the Treasury and Downing Street are working on the numbers to allow the PM to make the commitment in the middle of the week. Hitting the 2.5% target would cost an additional £6bn a year, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. It would heap even more pressure on the Chancellor to squeeze the spending of other departments and extract as much as possible from planned radical welfare reform. However reinforcing the strength of a stretched and depleted UK military has become the PM’s priority, especially since President Trump sidelined Europe in talks with Russia’s Putin on ending Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. Those close to the PM say that the election of Trump has “inaugurated a new political era”, which will involve - among other policy shifts - much greater spending by European countries on defence and security. At the moment, the UK spends 2.3% of GPD or national income on defence. But when expenditure on the nuclear deterrent is stripped out, conventional military spending is just 1.5% of GDP, which is below NATO’s 2% threshold and equivalent to what Portugal spends. “Obviously you can’t ignore our nuclear spend, but you can see how stretched are our conventional resources,” said an influential official. There is however no spare cash in the Treasury’s kitty to do anything. On 26 March the Office for Budget Responsibility will confirm that the Chancellor is breaching her fiscal rules, and will have to find billions of pounds from spending cuts or stealth tax increases, such as extending the freeze on income tax thresholds. She will then announce a package of spending and tax measures to reduce borrowing that are not supposed to be a budget but are increasingly being described as a budget by officials. If the additional £6bn for defence was split evenly between capital and current or day-to-day spending, it would deplete fiscal “headroom” less than channelling all the cash to current spending. Still to be decided, I am told, is whether to ramp up to 2.5% immediately or do it gradually over two-to-four years. The concern in the Treasury is that ramping up quickly would lead to waste and equipment inflation. However there is almost no difference to whether the fiscal rules are met in the choice between increasing spend over a year or four years. Pressures are growing for even greater defence spending. In the spring NATO members will decide on a new minimum spending threshold, which is widely expected to be 3%. And in coming weeks a radical new approach to defending the nation will be published in the form of the Strategic Defence Review, commissioned by the government. The UK government is also taking a keen interest in plans to raise €100bn across Europe from the creation of a so-called re-armament bank, a project promoted by the Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski

@ManUtd Very disappointing to see RvN leave the Club. Hopefully he will return at some point in the future.

Ruud van Nistelrooy and three first-team coaches have departed the club with our best wishes for the future. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to United ❤️ #MUFC

@limbach_tim @antgib @KaseyAldridge1 That was Chris Green, not Cameron Green.

@antgib @KaseyAldridge1 Amazing to see Lancs field Green, when no one is available for us.

Another win, and a good one, albeit against a Lancs side who were pretty poor. Leach, Ogborne and @KaseyAldridge1 with a career best OD 6/33 the pick of the bowlers, then a handsome, mature ton from George Thomas and real class from James Rew. Great stuff all round!

@Peston I have therefore turned over to SKY.

@Peston So bias R.P.

Sunak's address astonishingly short. And a bit stiff. All a bit odd. He definitely needs to relax
