When historians look back on U.K. politics they’ll struggle to explain why Reform, which never had more than 8 MPs, was treated as though it was a government in waiting.
Especially given that it had a deeply unpopular leader and acted like it was a front for a crime syndicate.
Vinicius Junior looks favourably on Arsenal’s offer and put it directly to Real Madrid to see if they would match it. Real’s answer was emphatic: they will NOT match it. The next days will be decisive. ⏳💣 [@michelltac]
🚨 Roberto De Zerbi on Spence and Bergvall: “I would like you to stay if you want to stay. If you don't want to stay, if you want to leave, then you have to leave”.
The UK not capitalising on trading with commonwealth countries, or even creating a Commonwealth trading system is the biggest travesty. If those in the 40s and 50s had been forward thinking, the UK could have made a trading bloc that is similar to what China are doing with BRICS
We stand shoulder to shoulder with our European colleagues and fully support the collective view.
We oppose FIFA’s plans. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football and always will.

UEFA's 55 member associations have voted to boycott World Cups if FIFA proceeds with its plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors 🏆❌
“It's a noisy minority, it’s people like Zack Polanski” who are critical of the government's contract with Palantir, says Palantir CEO @LouisMosley.
“It is up to the British government to decide how it uses Palantir's software … they are the controller.”
Andy Burnham is today announcing £8.4bn investment in the Dreadnought nuclear deterrent
Now this isn't new money - it's part of the £64bn spending on the deterrent that Keir Starmer has already announced in the Defence Investment Plan
But what's most interesting about this story is the framing...
Here's the press release headline: "Britain drives defence to deliver security and growth in every postcode wtih £8.4bn nuclear submarine investment supporting 22,000 apprenticeships"
It's framed so the investment *in apprenticeships* is almost as important as the investment in the deterrent
And here's Andy Burnham's quote: "Security is not only about what we build, it is about who builds it, and who benefits from it. The submarines produced in Barrow will protect Britain for decades to come, and the 47,000 jobs and apprenticeships will change lives both in this town and in dozens of places like it. British money, spent on British workers, British firms and British skills, in the places that were written off for forty years."
The money isn't new... but the emphasis really is.
And it's an insight into how the new Prime Minister is going to square his natural domestic focus with the inevitable international pressures that come with the job.
The middle class and middle aged can’t afford to raise kids in London.
They’ve been a cohort that’s net leaving the city for some time.
The left needs to come to grips with how badly Khan has failed these people.
Never let Farage forget when Starmer cooked him after he refused to condemn a Reform council member sharing a death threat, stating that the Labour MP, Natalie Fleet, 'should be shot.'
Starmer also called out Farage for being endorsed by Tommy Robinson.
I went to Manchester's famous 'Curry Mile' - a street that has been transformed by mass migration.
At @RestoreBritain, we will reverse mass migration.
We need your vote to deliver radical change. Vote @MarlonTag for Mayor of Greater Manchester tomorrow.
This is the political elite's blueprint for the rest of Britain.
Unless we act now, it will mean the end of our people.
Successive governments failed to stop the boats because they were trying to fix the symptoms, not the cause.
If people know they can stay and claim benefits, they’ll keep coming. If they know they’ll be removed, they won’t come.
We must change the incentives.
That’s why the Conservative Borders Plan leaves the ECHR, giving us the power to ban asylum claims from illegal entrants, and remove new arrivals within a week.
That’s why we will make it harder for non-citizens to claim welfare and housing benefits.
And that’s why we will restrict ILR and citizenship.
This is common sense. And this how we will take back control of our borders for good.
@Socket1Sophie Hi @educationgovuk , can we trust our children with this person who has access to them? How does she treat the little kids who are not the ‘pure white’ that she wants. She can be identified in the video clip.
She is certainly not suitable to be in this position.
