Kemi Badenoch said Scunthorpe steel plant was “in peril” due to Labour’s “wrong choices" adding “We need steel production in this country. It is important for national resilience”

Short memory! Tory choices f***ed up #UKSteel

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations.

So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut.

Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever.

In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families.

When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

You have to laugh, or you’d cry. Thanks to Citizen Khan for making me smile when all to often, I want to cry.

Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth has been chosen as the First Minister of Wales. He makes history as the first Welsh First Minister not from the Labour Party, and the first from North Wales.

Dear Reform-voting ladies…

Do you know you’re voting for a party that wants to:

❌ Scrap the Equality Act - your legal protection against workplace discrimination & unequal pay

❌ Kill the Online Safety Act - the law protecting you from revenge porn

❌ Vote AGAINST the bill to stop workplace sexual harassment

❌ Stack the party with anti-abortion politicians - some opposing termination even in cases of rape

❌ Push “pro-family” policies that put women back in the home

I guess the question is…

Do you hate immigrants more than you love your rights?

@NLinnane @TheSun I'd disagree....he lacks the warmth and depth of a true fanny....

BREAKING : This is Belt Treatment 🔥

Journalist –– Trump targeted you again with personal remarks. Do you have anything to say?

🇫🇷 Macron –– 🔥"We are talking about war, civilians dying, economies suffering. What I heard is neither serious nor worthy of response. A world leader can't use language he is speaking"

Much needed call out

This bill absolutely needs to get passed by the Lord's
It's a critical final element of control for the patient

@RobertJenrick Reform promising all these cuts with no idea how to fund them.

Another stunt that breaks the law.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

In a healthy democracy we would have journalists doing this kind of thing. But in the days of “Give Nigel a free pass” media MPs have to do it instead. Ps the open financial greed and grift is very much part of the “Trump’s man in London” Farage strategy

[Alex Barros-Curtis MP @ABarrosCurtis]

Steel isn’t just industry — it’s strategic:

▶️ Infrastructure
▶️ Defence
▶️ Clean energy (incl. offshore wind)
▶️ Government wants UK steel at the heart of all of it
