The Government have quietly announced that they will push ahead with their Puberty Blocker Trial.

Children as young as 11 will be given drugs that can lead to loss of fertility and bone density.

No child can consent to this. The trial must be stopped.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

I bet Starmer is pleased he brought her in as an adviser

[Beth Rigby @BethRigby]

💥MEGA Electoral Dysfunction on is way

- @HarrietHarman says Burnham is going to become PM. Starmer is going to be leaving office

- “It's not that the herd is moving. They are stampeding”

- “The PLP have made a decision that they're not hanging around with Keir Starmer”

- I've spoken to a lot of junior ministers and MPs this morning, and they've all had AB on the phone asking for their support. Wes has been talking to people nobody I've spoke to has heard from the PM.

- I don't think there's going to be any question of a timetable. We cannot have ministers in a state of paralysis all the way through the summer... if you're concerned about good government and not doing irreparable damage to the Labour Party, you want this to be done in a in a timely way.

- There's a big role Lucy Powell (deputy leader) and Jessica Morden (chair of the PLP) Those two women need to get three men in a room, lock them in. Those men are Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer, and not let them out until they've agreed a swift process.

BREAKING: Borrowing is out of control - up by 30% compared to last year - and now we’re about to see what a real left wing Labour government looks like under Andy Burnham.

Burnham claims he is committed to the fiscal rules, yet when asked he could not even say what they are. The bond markets are watching nervously and we have already been paying a Burnham Penalty on our borrowing costs. Meanwhile, Reform have been busy pledging tens of billions in unfunded promises in their desperation to win in Makerfield.

The Conservatives are the only party with a plan to balance the books by getting spending under control, especially the welfare bill, in line with our Golden Economic Rule.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

Starmer met the unions at least six times in his first 18 months.

He only met his armed forces minister ONCE. No wonder he resigned.

We all know what this Government’s priorities are — and it’s not defending Britain.

[Dr Sanjoy Kumar @drsanjoykumar]

13th June, anniversary of the worst day in my life when I lost my brave & beautiful daughter Grace in the Nottingham attacks. Grace was the love of my life. The best of me and the best of my wife Sinéad. Thank you all for coming to grieve with us, the Coates family and a special I’ll thanks to @redrumlisa for being there and representing the warm people of Nottingham. Rev Dr Alan Mair gave a beautiful homily at St Paul’s Church, Lenton. We then walked across and laid a rose for my rose Gracie at Ilkeston Road. 🌹

This is the text of Rev Dr Alan Mair’s homily: beautiful words:

my Homily for victims Grace, Barney and Ian June 13th 2026
We need few words to express why we are gathered here on the third anniversary of the brutal attack that left Grace, Ian and Barney dead and Sharon and Wayne who received life changing injuries.
We gather with heavy hearts. We come before God carrying grief, anger, confusion, and sorrow. We remember, Grace, Barney and Ian whose lives were cruelty taken.  We pray for each other whose lives have been forever changed.
In moments like these, words can seem inadequate. We ask questions that have no easy answers. Why did this happen? Why were precious lives lost? Why does violence continue to wound our communities?
The Gospel does not pretend that suffering is easy to understand. Even Jesus stood before the tomb of his friend Lazarus and wept. The Son of God Himself entered into human grief. This reminds us that our tears are not a sign of weak faith. They are a sign of love. And God receives every tear we shed.
We entrust them to the mercy of God, confident in the promise of Christ who said, "I am the resurrection and the life."  Death does not have the final word. Through His death and resurrection, Christ has opened the way to eternal life.  A tough concept to understand.  But last Saturday at the hockey tournament I felt the presence of Grace.  On the stands at the City Ground, I am certain Ian was cheering the fact that Forest stayed up while West Ham were relegated.  I am certain too that Barney’s cricket club feel his gentle presence as they go out to bat.
Yet our prayer today extends beyond remembrance. We also pray for healing. We pray for parents whose hearts have been broken, for brothers and sisters, sons and daughters who miss a loved one, for friends carrying trauma, and for communities living in fear.
The Christian response to violence is not indifference. Nor is it revenge. St Paul tells us: "Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good." This is one of the hardest commands in the Gospel. Yet history shows that hatred never heals hatred. Violence never truly defeats violence. Only love, justice, mercy, and truth can break the cycle.
We are called to become instruments of peace. In our homes, schools, parishes, and communities, we must build a culture where every person knows they are valued and loved. We must support young people, strengthen families, and work for justice. We must refuse to accept violence as normal or inevitable.
The Church stands alongside all who suffer. We believe that even in the darkest moments, God has not abandoned His people. The Cross itself seemed like a victory for violence and death. Yet God transformed it into the source of salvation and hope. The resurrection assures us that darkness does not overcome the light.
And we ask the Lord to make us bearers of His peace, so that through our words, actions, and witness, we may help build a society where life is cherished, communities are healed, and every person can live without fear.
May the souls of all who have died through violence rest in peace.
And may the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds, now and always.
Amen.

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.

Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚

For You. For Grace. For Ian.

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

John Healey’s resignation tells us two things:

1. Labour’s inability to control spending (especially welfare) means they are unable to properly protect our country.

2. ⁠This is a dying government which has lost its ability to function.

[Sarah Dines @Dines4Dales]

@joshFG you have been an MP for nearly two years and you have no idea how PMQs work. It's actually quite sad. God help the country with this lot in charge....

[Josh Fenton-Glynn MP @JoshFG]

Whatever the public talk is of the Kemi bounce, it says all you need to know about lack of confidence in the Tory party that not a single Conservative MP is on the order paper for today’s PMQs.

[Sir Greg Hands @GregHands]

Another good reason not to re-join the EU.

Whatever one’s view is of immigration and asylum laws, it’s surely a national competence.

[Sarah Vine @WestminsterWAG]

One child, one body, one girl. 15 grown men. 88 counts of rape. 11 years to bring a conviction. Why has it taken so long? Where are the protests?

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.

They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.

They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.

They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.

We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.

Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.

Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.

I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.

That is my focus now.

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

1 day, 4 headlines that say it all.

Labour isn’t working.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

“Every meeting I have is ‘who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others’." Quite.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Labour's Welfare Secretary admitted to Peter Mandelson what he won’t tell you.

Labour raised your taxes to pay for more benefits.

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

REFORM - IT NEVER ADDS UP.

Reform’s latest gimmick has been ripped apart by tax experts and economists.

Reform claim that ‘tax-free overtime’ would cost £5bn. It’s actually been costed at almost triple that - because it would be open to abuse on an industrial scale👇🏻 🧵 (1/9)

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

Afghans are more than TWENTY times more likely to commit sex crimes than Brits.

Crimes that were once rare horrors are now regular stories.

Ministers deny it - but the whole country can see what's going on.

My message to David Lammy: stop the cover-up, sort it out.

[Sarah Dines @Dines4Dales]

I am not a "cis woman" I am simply a woman

[Thomas Willett @ThomasWillett9]

Let’s be real, trans women using women’s toilets has never caused a problem. The only people who care about this are bored, wealthy bigots looking for the next minority to target, and anonymous Twitter trolls.
This guidance will not improve the rights & safety of cís women.
