To those who say politics doesn't matter, or who think that it doesn't matter who you vote for, 'everyone's the same', watch this video of Gordon Brown list the last Labour government's achievements. Labour in power transforms the lives of those most in need.

whether it's rolling out free school meals, investing in our NHS, scrapping the two child benefit cap or raising the minimum wage. The next election will be about what kind of values define us. It will be a fight between those who try to divide us and those who seek…3/4

I know many in Luton will be concerned about Reform gaining a seat on the council. Ours is a town where diversity is our strength, where communities come together in a time of need. Reform is the opposite of those values, seeking to divide communities and pitting them…1/4

Social mobility and access is about more than just letting people from underprivileged and disadvantaged backgrounds in -it’s also about making sure that they’re supported to get on. Far too many focus on the former and not the latter.

What an utter disgrace Nigel Farage is. An Iftaar is when Muslims come together to break their fast. Farage and his cronies have no issue with people of other faiths celebrating their religion in Trafalgar Square, only Muslims. They're Islamophobes, pure and simple.

Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage

What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture. We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation. The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.

Why is it some political commentators just can’t stop with their lazy assumptions about ‘Muslim voters’? Muslim voters are also predominantly working class and are equally motivated by concerns about cost of living, public services and NHS for eg as other communities are…

New: 🚨 Keir Starmer responds to Trump: "President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved with the initial strikes. “But it is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest. That is what I have done. And I stand by it."

Keir Starmer says Labour's loss in Gorton and Denton was a 'disappointing result', adding: 'Incumbent govts quite often get results like that'. Goes on to add: "I will also fight against extremes in politics, on the right and the left, parties who want to tear our country apart.

If Reform really cared about working people, they wouldn’t want to get rid of Labour’s employment rights, which includes protection from unfair dismissal, bans zero hour contracts, and provides day one rights. Reform are just the Tories repackaged

Reform claim they will cut waste in local govt and lower council taxes. Remember that its flagship DOGE unit at Kent County Council, designed to uncover waste, failed to uncover major savings. Reform councils are also raising council tax after being hit with a dose of reality.

Glad to see Tory Deputy Chair Matt Vickers reminded of the sleaze and scandal that came to define more than decade of Tory rule on Newsnight. The Conservatives are in no position to lecture anybody about integrity.

Keir has earned the right to deliver the change he has promised and do what he cares about - which is to serve the country. This is not the time for the government to turn inwards on itself. We must focus on delivering the change we promised the country.
