@GBNEWS £12 billion is a huge number, so it’s fair to ask how much of that spending is linked to immigration and what the Government plans to do about it.
@BBCBreakfast Ed Davey sounds pretty confident that the Lib Dems are ready if Burnham does decide to call an early election. Things could get interesting very quickly.
Britain, Canada and Europe getting closer? 👀
Canada is pushing for deeper ties with Europe and says the UK should be part of the conversation. With the world changing rapidly, expect this debate to get much bigger.
A justice system should never make someone who has already suffered feel like they’re facing another battle.
Better support, clearer communication and a system that listens to victims properly should be the goal
@GBNEWS Whatever your politics, public confidence depends on seeing serious offenders dealt with properly. The numbers and the process need to be transparent.
@BBCWorld Merz has only been in office for 16 months and already faces serious questions about his leadership. German voters are clearly sending a message.
Jim Ratcliffe says Britain needs tougher action on welfare and immigration. Bridget Phillipson’s response? Don’t take too much notice of a “tax exile.”
That makes for a good political soundbite, how does Britain get welfare spending.
@GBNEWS You can disagree with Ratcliffe’s views, but dismissing the argument because he lives in Monaco doesn’t really answer the point about welfare spending.
Trump wants an “AI Force” and plans to appoint a new AI czar 🇺🇸🤖
The US is clearly treating artificial intelligence as a major strategic priority, particularly as competition with China intensifies.
The big question now is what this new force will actually do.
Strong words from the Home Secretary over Danny Tommo and the Patriot Platform. People can challenge government policy, but once protests turn into criminal behaviour, the law has to apply.
If this helps British manufacturers compete and protects UK jobs, it’s worth having the conversation. Pragmatism matters more than political posturing. 🇬🇧
@visegrad24 Poland has been pushing for this for years, so this is a pretty significant development. The location and final agreement will be the things to watch now.
@BBCNews NATO asking for a ‘credible path’ is fair enough. Defence can’t just be a promise for the future — the numbers and timeline need to add up. 🇬🇧
Burnham rejects the “tax and spend socialist” label. Fair enough — but ultimately it’s the policies, spending decisions and tax bills that will tell the story.
Lavrov saying a war between Russia and Europe would be “very short” is a pretty stark warning. Whatever the rhetoric, nobody should underestimate how dangerous a direct confrontation between major powers could become.
Trump is warning Europe over Canada getting closer to the EU, with tariffs now being threatened. This is becoming much bigger than a trade dispute — it’s about where Canada and Europe see their future.
