@Keir_Starmer A “mistaken release” isn’t a minor error — it’s a catastrophic failure of your government’s responsibility to protect the public. Letting a prisoner walk free isn’t a mistake; it’s a breakdown in control, oversight, and competence. You must take real accountability for this.

@natalieben Sadly, the days of small independents setting up in places like national train stations are long gone. The rents, deposits, red tape, and investment now are huge — all for margins that barely make sense. Big chains can absorb the costs, but for local businesses near impossible.

@UKLabour 24 hours after one of the most shameful errors of judgement in UK foreign policy for a generation. All to try and bail out his party from its own destruction.

Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground.

Lawbreaking is out of control.

He's not acting. So, I did.👇

Keir Starmer will put up your taxes. Bookmark this tweet.

@bphillipsonMP You know that saying “FACT” before an opinion (and a tragic one at that) doesn’t make it true right?

Remembering Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022.

These people are going out of their way to halt what has been a growing momentum to tackle climate change. They may as well buy a mountain of coal and set fire to it. How can anyone be so stupid?

[Oliver Eakin @Oliver_Eakin]

@BladeoftheS A simple Google would have answered this for you. It is perfectly legitimate. You can have multiple descriptions registered with the Electoral Commission. The Candidate/Agent has just chosen not to use them in this circumstance.

@SadiqKhan But you raised the cap by 4.9%? I used to hit the cap every day. Very misleading 🥀 or the £12.50 hike just to drive off the M25? 👎

@johnestevens Do you eat yours with a knife and fork or something? How would you recommend someone eats a pasty?

Looking at Rochdale, it appears that T&C’s apply…

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The Labour Party has changed from a party that looked inwards to a party that meets the public gaze.

From a party of dogma to a party of patriotism.

With my leadership there will zero tolerance of antisemitism, of racism, of discrimination of any kind.

@jamesrobhamblin @WelshConserv Well done James!

@HollieBolitho The Lib Dem’s have been heartless ambulance chasers for many years. Disappointing but not surprising from them.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has made regular calls for public figures to resign from major public posts — 31 such demands are on his Twitter/X account since April 2019. Given what many see as his dereliction of duty in the sub-postmasters’ scandal he might look in the mirror for his 32nd. Just a thought.

[Oliver Eakin @Oliver_Eakin]

Labour’s Sadiq Khan refusing to send non-ULEZ cars to Ukraine instead of scrapping them is disgusting.

In his reason for refusal, he recites a legal quirk to the Mayor of Kyiv…

🤯 🥀

@NickRoseInfo @Conservatives @NorwichChloe Congratulations Nick! Very well deserved!

I’m worried about a narrative that has been developing and I want to put this out there:

1. You can be pro-Israel and still care about people dying in Palestine.

2. You can be pro-Palestine and care about the terror in Israel and releasing hostages.

Both can be true.
