82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever.

We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women.

Our debt to them can never be repaid.

Oh, happy day ⚒️

West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has stepped down from his position as joint chairman and director of the club with immediate effect "having been made aware of the impending publication of serious historic allegations".

🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most.

We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.

'It is inflammatory, it is extremist, it is divisive, it is everything the family didn't want.’

Former senior police officer Neil Basu tells James O'Brien that he believes Nigel Farage is using Henry Novak’s death to score ‘political points'.

From today, millions of passengers will have better train journeys.

We’ve nationalised Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express with plans to recruit more drivers and improve signalling to reduce delays and cancellations.

@PolaBear2637 @CllrJamesGriggs It's a good job his essay said to do neither of those things.

[Rob Newman @RobNewmanLab]

I can't go along with the belief that the last Labour Govt didn't take us "off the path of Thatcherism" & was about trickle-down economics.

It was a redistributive Govt that raised wages, boosted incomes, improved health & life chances.

Wish we'd stop beating ourselves up.

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

I introduced the new offence of endangering life at sea in our Border Security Act - one of this Government's first pieces of legislation.

The Tories and Reform both voted against it.

While they shout from the sidelines, Labour is taking action to restore security to the border, and tackle this vile trade in human lives.

[Rob Newman @RobNewmanLab]

@CllrJamesGriggs Why should a three-time election winner have to exercise a self-denying ordinance while the party he led and cares for gets walloped at local & devolved elections, and the country heads in a dangerous direction?

[Rob Newman @RobNewmanLab]

Gutted ⚒️💔

This has to be a reset moment. I hope our decent players give us a year out of their careers to get us straight back up & that the younger players become the core of a new team

Sullivan has to be held accountable. From a European trophy to relegation in 3 years? Out

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

“World-class team in a world-class stadium?” Second-tier team in a track-and-field stadium. West Ham United relegated to the Championship at the London Stadium. Fans have every right to be angry. They turned up. But where was the real leadership in the club? Or on the pitch in recent times (Bowen apart)? No urgency in the first half against Leeds. Taty and Bowen gave brief hope. But they couldn’t rise to the equation. Spurs survive.

Many reasons for West Ham’s demise: some iffy recruitment, some below-par coach appointments (Lopetegui, Potter), defensive issues, lack of direction from board, tensions between fans and Sullivan, as well as an unsuitable stadium (fans far from pitch, rental so difficult to generate money). Record losses. And revenue will be hammered by the drop.

Who gets sold? Fernandes and Summerville will be top of many clubs’ shopping list. And the loyal Bowen? Does Nuno stay? Will the fanbase want him to? Does Kretinsky make a move to take over? Would Sullivan sell anyway? So many questions. Who can provide the answers? Who will stand up to be counted?

West Ham need a reset, a rethink, improved recruitment and better leadership - on and off the pitch. Their fans deserve better. #WHULEE #WHU

Can’t believe that his local Conservative association, who were absolutely incandescent when he defected, would have him back. 🚫

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

Strong rumour that former Conservative MP Danny Kruger who defected to Reform Party Ltd in September last year may well be returning to the Conservatives after expressing his unhappiness with Farage's financial affairs.

Negotiations are apparently ongoing.

We're getting on with the job.

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

At the General Election we pledged to bring down net migration.

Following reforms in our Immigration White Paper last Spring, it has now fallen 82% from the peak under the Tories.

We promised a fair, controlled and managed migration system, and that is what we are delivering.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

I want every family to have fun this summer. That's why I’m cutting VAT on children’s activities and meals with Great British Summer Savings.

Our economic plan is the right one, to support families and businesses, and build a stronger and more secure Britain.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

Good news for families - every child aged 5-15 in England will travel free on buses this summer, with unlimited journeys, no registration required, and no cost to families.

Our economic plan is the right one. Tackling the cost of living and building a stronger Britain.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Net migration has fallen 82%.

I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering.

I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

The war in Iran is pushing up prices at the pump, so we're stepping in.

We are extending the 5p fuel duty cut until the end of the year- keeping costs lower for millions of drivers.

We have the right economic plan to protect households and build a stronger Britain.

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division.

We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views.

They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.
