Please repost if you agree that it would be extremely unwise for Labour to remove Keir Starmer right now

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Avoiding interviews in the week before polling day but after the £5 million “gift” had been exposed worked well for Reform as a media handling strategy, but the questions will now keep coming.

[Laura 🇪🇺 @Laura_Remainer]

Great to see Gordon Brown back in a government role.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Today I’m pleased to appoint @GordonBrown as my Special Envoy on Global Finance and Cooperation.

As Britain’s longest-serving Chancellor, Gordon is well placed to work with our international allies to build a stronger Britain and boost our country’s security and resilience.

20th anniversary of the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes and the family’s long battle for justice

[London Historians @LondonHistorian]

Can it really be 20 years since the killing by the Met of young Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell Tube? The operation was led by Cressida Dick under the Met leadership of recently deceased Sir Ian Blair. What can one say? #RIP #OTD

20 years on, a vigil will be held for Jean Charles de Menezes, shot dead by police at Stockwell Tube after being mistaken for a bomber.

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

Nine years ago today, on 16 June 2016, Jo Cox was murdered while on her way to a surgery in her constituency of Batley and Spen. Jo’s murder was an immeasurable tragedy for her family and friends, but also for British democracy.

Child poverty is the biggest cause of social division in Britain today.

If we are to advance the prospects of a new generation of children languishing in poverty, now is the time to act,

"I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all."

On 11 February 1990, peace laureate Nelson Mandela was released from prison after being incarcerated for 27 years. Despite his long imprisonment, Mandela rejected hatred and instead embraced reconciliation.

61 different hunts had at least one report of badger sett interference made against them in the 2022–23 season ... badgers are a protected species in the uk , yet the wildlife interference continues as a result of illegal fox hunting .

2025 is the year to erase the stain on the world's  conscience as Afghan girls and women are denied the most basic of human rights. Gender Apartheid is a crime against humanity. My article for @ProSyn

[Harriet Harman @HarrietHarman]

RIP John Precott. A huge figure in bringing Labour back into govt. He reassured Labour traditionalists that there was a place for them in New Labour. And made sure there was. A combative unifier who outsmarted those who underestimated him. Sympathy to Pauline & his family

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Delighted to speak at the opening of the 5th Multibank in Middlesbrough this morning.

So far, this coalition of compassion has distributed 5 million goods to 500,000 children across Britain.

Thank you to all involved
