The competition to launch the third national forest is live!
We’ve got £7.5m for a 3rd new national forest in the North or Midlands 🌳

We need organisations to come forward with their vision for a green space that will improve people’s lives.

EVERY weather station, both rural & urban, in Yorkshire & Lincolnshire, set a new May temperature record yesterday.
Unprecedented.
For the climate sceptics out there, the game is up. Go and bore someone else with your nonsense.

A few words on yesterdays result 🌹👇

[Stephen Doughty HC MP @SDoughtyMP]

The Falkland Islands are British.

As I confirmed to Parliament earlier this week, our commitment to the self-determination, sovereignty and defence of the Falkland Islands and their people is resolute - and will always come first.

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.

First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

Tice said: "Naturally I am always happy to put things right and if numbers need rechecking, of course I will pay what is owed - be that more or less."

It's another big story from @Gabriel_Pogrund who also revealed last week that Tice's property company failed to pay £91,000 in tax before dividends.

'I consider President Trump's remarks to be insulting and frankly appalling'

Sir Keir Starmer called on the US president to apologise after he suggested that British troops didn't fight on the frontlines in Afghanistan

[Jack Hemingway @JackSHemingway]

Utterly despicable, disrespectful comments by the president of our closest ally. An unforgivable insult to the 457 British service personnel who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. How many more of these imbecilic rants will the world have to endure before the US acts.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

It’s heartening to witness the scenes of joy as Israeli hostages are reunited with their loved ones. At the same time, as many Palestinians return to shattered homes and devastated communities, the urgent need for humanitarian aid, shelter, and rebuilding cannot be ignored.

An enduring peace requires justice.
The occupation of Gaza must end, and those responsible for war crimes and atrocities must be held to account.

#FreePalestine

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

Today we have witnessed a vile attack on our Jewish community on its holiest day.

We condemn whoever is responsible and will do everything within our power to keep people safe.

We stand with GM’s Jewish community at this time and will work through the day to support them. 🙏🏻

@YorkshireProse @WakeExpress Love it !

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

I'm struggling to think of a worse, more unnecessary hill for any government to choose to die on.

One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start.

It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.

It's actually mind boggling.
