Being a dad is my greatest joy.

Today, I’m thinking about my dad, and the father I am to my children because of him.

Happy Father’s Day.

I just spoke with the CEO of the East of England Ambulance Service Trust following yesterday's train crash.

I expressed my gratitude to the air ambulance crews, the emergency services who responded under extremely difficult circumstances, as well as the NHS staff taking care of the injured.

My thoughts are with all those affected by this devastating incident.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Hugely concerning reports of a collision involving two passenger trains near Bedford. 

First and foremost, my thoughts are with the family of the person who has sadly lost their life, and with those who have been seriously injured.

I am grateful to the emergency services for their swift response to this tragic incident.

A fantastic result against Croatia and a performance to be proud of. On to the next one 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Big global issues, that have a real impact back at home - that’s what these summits are all about.

[Dan Tomlinson MP @Dan4Barnet]

Inflation fell at the start of the conflict in Iran in the UK because this govt took £150 off energy bills.

It remained flat in May, but is rising elsewhere.

We've frozen fuel duty, cut duty on red diesel (used by farmers) by a third, and scrapped VED for HGVs.

From next week, we are slashing VAT on family activities and kids meals to help families in the summer holidays.

This govt is focused on doing all we can to provide economic stability and to support family budgets.

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths.

I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools.

No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Today I've agreed with @eucopresident that we will hold the second UK-EU summit on 22 July.

My Labour Government is delivering on our promise to reset our relationship and put Britain at the heart of Europe.

Together we will tackle the cost of living, boost jobs and create opportunities for young people.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Russia’s attacks on Kyiv’s Pershka Lavra are deplorable.

Attacks like this are why I have announced sanctions to target the vessels, the money and the actors propping up Russia’s war economy, and in turn, threatening European security.

We will increase the pressure on Putin and his circle of collaborators until Russia’s war machine is brought to a halt and peace returns to our continent.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

We are banning social media access for under 16s.

These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.

I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Nine years on from the Grenfell tragedy, we remember the 72 people who lost their lives and hold their families, loved ones and the entire community in our thoughts.

We stand with you and are committed to ensuring this never happens again and that those responsible are held to account.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.

This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.

I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

[James Murray @jamesmurray_ldn]

I'm pleased the BMA has called off strikes next week.

That’s good news for patients, all NHS staff, and the taxpayer.

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

A Green councillor called Hamas founders "martyrs".

The Lib Dems made him cabinet member for children and families.

Birmingham deserves answers.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

There is no justification for the acts of violence and arson that we saw in Belfast last night. It is completely unacceptable.

I urge for calm. We must let the police get on with their work.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.

There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.

It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.

I’ve spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I’ve also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.

Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The horrific attack in Belfast last night is sickening.

I have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.

My thoughts are first and foremost with the victim, and I thank the first responders, including members of the public who intervened.

[Jon Pearce MP @Jon4HighPeak]

@thePanda84 Hi Amanda, sorry to see this. If I can help in anyway please email the details to [email protected]

[Jake Richards MP @JakeBenRichards]

Today, I met Zofia Radzikowska.

Zofia is a survivor of the Holocaust, hiding with her mother in Krakow just an hours drive from Aushwitz.

Zofia is now as advocate for the Jewish Community Centre in Krakow, which is doing incredible work with Ukranian refugees in the area, and the Jewish community in Poland.

It was important to speak with her about the rising incidents of antisemitism across Europe. And her gratefulness to King Charles for his support for the Jewish community in Poland - and in particular opening the Jewish Community Centre in 2008, and revisiting last year. 🇬🇧 🇵🇱 🇺🇦

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I discussed with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom @Keir_Starmer the steps needed to reinvigorate diplomacy and Ukraine’s current needs.

I informed Keir about the need for additional missiles for air defense systems and the things that are important for protecting energy infrastructure and preparing for winter. We also coordinated our positions ahead of the G7 and NATO Summits and the meetings of the Coalition of the Willing.

I am grateful to Keir for organizing the E3–Ukraine meeting and for his constant and effective support for our state.
