"Just because you’ve got a flag in your van and you scream at people in the street doesn’t make you a patriot."

Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells Channel 4 News' Economics Editor Helia Ebrahimi that being a patriot is about "loving this country and treating other people with respect", after being heckled during a previous interview.

I’m not sure why we still have a monarch. It seems like a medieval anachronism to me; a demonstration of inherited status and the the pinnacle of an entrenched aristocracy. And I’m really not sure why our monarch has gone to the US to stand next to another man with too much power, land and money.

Anyone else feel that BBC Look North should not be promoting gambling? Tonight had a long puff piece about "postcode lottery". Showed ppl winning but nothing about the odds against it or the lives wrecked by gambling. The BBC needs to act responsibly.

@angus_young61 Welcome to Hessle. Surely a Grand Tour of East Riding STARTS at Hessle.

@angus_young61 Their nomination papers are available for public inspection and challenfe by anyone at Guildhall. They will have ticked how they qualify from at least one of the 4 options.

@DannyDrinksWine Brilliant movie and timeless.

@ceeing42 @John4bricknell Colin .. sorry for the delayed response. From consultation with many interested parties including the British Legion, the decision was made to NOT put names on the Tower Hill Park Memorial. It's a memorial to all.

Hessle Town Council byelection result. A good second for Independents for Hessle from a standing start.

@angus_young61 The big unknown is Reform standing. They won the mayoral election in Hull . As the weather improves and small boats risk the Channel, the salience of migration as an issue will probably resurface. Ironically it is not an issue that Local Govt can tackle but ppl will protest vote.

Gorton and Denton -Lab trying to talk up their prospects but it's Green or Reform according to the betting odds. Lab odds are actually worsening whereas Green are pulling ahead. Follow the money.

Asda Hessle rd superstore with only one checkout being manned. 7 checkouts closed. Rest of self scan have queues. Memo to Asda management "what happened to customer service"?

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.

Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

Can everyone stop talking about “mandates”, please. The United Kingdom elects an MP for each of its 650 constituencies. Whoever can command a majority of them is the prime minister. When you stop commanding that majority, no imagined “mandate” means anything in real terms.

@KarlTurnerMP Well said Karl and best wishes on the medical outcome. We are all humans.

@John4bricknell @SaulStaniforth @jacobfcroft @HackneyAbbott The "anyone but Tory" in 24 was a major factor in Lab landslide. It wasn't won by dozy starmer. Any orher Labour glove puppet and FTP wld've won.

[David Nolan - independent for Hessle @Davidpnolan]

@John4bricknell But where is the Opposition? For politics to function it needs a ruling group and a challenging group. Instead we have an abject surrender from the opposition. All credit to Tory Leader Anne Handley but woeful opposition.

Very strange budget setting at east riding council today. Tories moved a budget with 5% C Tax rise, backed by their Condependents. Lib Dems & Labour waffled & meakly backed the Tory budget. Only a handful including "People before Party" Cllrs voted against the Tory budget.

[David Nolan - independent for Hessle @Davidpnolan]

@PaulBrandITV Sounds like sour grapes from the Tories coupled with a nasty personal attack on Braverman. Probably concocted by a CCHQ Spad with no life experience or social grace.
