Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too.
It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer.
I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.
🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have won a High Court injunction to stop England flags being put up on lampposts in Oxfordshire
The council said the flags were being used as "an act of intimidation and division"
Squirming Farage knows this is now a scandal that could end his chances of being PM.
Everyone, including his own supporters, knows his failure to declare a secret £5m bung from a Thailand-based crypto tycoon absolutely STINKS.
Quite something that around the tenth anniversary of the Brexit campaign murder of Jo Cox he says he is the most attacked politician of the last decade. Well done Sally Nugent for pressing with Qs so many of her colleagues have decided to move on from because he doesn’t want to answer them
If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.
The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.
There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦♂️
It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!
At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.
He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.
Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏
Je tiens à remercier le Premier ministre @Keir_Starmer pour sa contribution au renforcement de la relation franco-britannique, son engagement au sein de la coalition des volontaires pour l’Ukraine, ainsi qu’à la relance de la relation entre le Royaume-Uni et l’Union européenne.
Le travail accompli ensemble pour la défense, l’énergie nucléaire, l’espace et l’innovation, en particulier lors de notre sommet franco-britannique de juillet dernier, témoigne de cet engagement.
Nous poursuivrons sur cette voie au bénéfice de nos peuples et de l’Europe.
Ce fut un privilège de travailler aux côtés de Sir Keir Starmer alors qu’il dirigeait les efforts déployés par la communauté internationale pour soutenir l’Ukraine, par l’entremise de la Coalition des volontaires, renforcer l’OTAN, améliorer la coopération dans l’Arctique et consolider le partenariat historique entre le Canada et le Royaume-Uni.
En tout temps, même face à des défis exceptionnels, Keir a agi avec intégrité, détermination et dans un esprit de collaboration. Grâce à ses efforts, le monde est plus sûr et les alliés sont plus unis.
Keir, merci d’avoir consacré ta vie au service du public. Je te suis reconnaissant de ton amitié et je te souhaite mes meilleurs vœux alors que tu te consacres désormais à ton « travail le plus important ».
It has been a privilege to work alongside Sir Keir Starmer as he has led international efforts to support Ukraine through the Coalition of the Willing, strengthen NATO, improve Arctic cooperation, and deepen the historic partnership between Canada and the United Kingdom.
Throughout, and in the face of exceptional challenges, Keir has acted with principle, determination, and collaboration. The world is safer and allies are more united because of his efforts.
Keir, thank you for your lifetime of public service. I am grateful for your friendship, and I wish you all the best as you concentrate on your "most important job.”
I’ve known Keir since he was a lawyer. He was principled then, just as he is now, and throughout his career he has been driven by a deep sense of public service and duty to this country.
He transformed the Labour Party, rooted out antisemitism, restored trust and made our party electable again. He won a historic mandate to change Britain for the better and, most importantly, he delivered on that promise.
With Keir’s leadership, this Labour government brought stability back to our economy, cut NHS waiting lists, improved renters’ rights, began to fix the crisis we inherited in our courts and prisons, reduced small boat crossings, protected young people online, lifted half a million children out of poverty and restored Britain’s standing in the world. He put Britain back at the heart of Europe, stood firmly with Ukraine and rebuilt relationships with our allies.
Change promised, change fought for and change delivered. That is Keir Starmer’s legacy, and I am incredibly proud to have played my part in it.
Keir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger.
The United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain among the world’s leaders. Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance.
Thank you for always being in touch, always engaged, and always striving to do what is needed and what will truly help.
I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.
Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.
