@SanSip @amolrajan @KateRaworth Good value episode. I would love @wesstreeting @AndyBurnhamGM @Keir_Starmer @MerrynSW @John_Stepek do listen to….especially Wes!

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

The EU is behind you, dear @ZelenskyyUa, today, tomorrow, as long as necessary.

Yesterday, we made history by opening the first accession negotiation cluster on Fundamentals.

And the first disbursement of the €90 billion support loan is imminent, with a strong focus on drones and defence capabilities.

You and the Ukrainian people are doing extraordinary efforts.

On the battlefield.

And on reforms. It is paying off, across the board.

The tide is turning for Ukraine.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Had a wonderful meeting with PM Keir Starmer in Evian. The last year has been outstanding as far as India-UK relations are concerned. The trade deal has opened many avenues of economic cooperation. Today’s talks focused on how to add even more momentum to India-UK ties.

This is grandma Manіa. She is 96 years old. And this is her second war.

For more than a month, grandma Mania and other residents were under occupation. Her son was killed. She was beaten up. For more than a week, Mrs Mania ate nothing. Then she found potatoes the size of peas and boiled one for herself each day.

These reports are extremely concerning - Russia is quite literally on our doorstep.

Aggression and intimidation from Putin in the English Channel cannot be tolerated.

This is a clear reminder that the Government cannot afford any further delays to the Defence Investment Plan.

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I met with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. The United Kingdom has taken new important decisions in support of Ukraine and introduced new sanctions steps against Russia’s shadow fleet. Thank you! All of this works towards peace.

I informed Keir about the consequences of the recent Russian strikes. We discussed the possible participation of the United Kingdom in the restoration of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the implementation of the agreements reached during today’s G7–Ukraine meeting, potential areas for further pressure on Russia, and steps to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense.

Thank you, Keir Starmer, for your unwavering support for our people.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Evian. In recent times, India and Ukraine have been engaging extensively. This has been reflected in different areas of our cooperation. Our talks today were about reviewing different aspects of our cooperation. We both agree that trade ties need to be restored to what they were in the pre-war time. Also reiterated that India will always be on the side of peace, placing the values of humanity over everything else.

We're going to nail this lazy, anti-social, bloke.
However... we're not totally sure of where this fly-tipping location is. We think it might be in Petersfield, Hants.
Can anyone confirm or challenge this? Please email [email protected] with any info. Thanks.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Excellent investigative journalism by BBC Panorama, showing Russian involvement not just in arson attacks on Starmer’s house but also in anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim attacks. https://t.co/kGQ3uLDV1Z

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

The tide is turning for Ukraine.

The situation in 2026 is very different from 2025.

Ukraine is bravely holding the frontline.
Russia’s fatigue is openly showing.

That’s the time to double down on our support.

With the first disbursement of the €90 billion EU loan.

With a winter package to support Ukraine later in the year.

The G7 stands in support of a strong and sovereign Ukraine.

We need to be targeting big tech, not children.

Our plans for an age-rating system for social media would keep children safe online and incentivise big tech to make their platforms less harmful.

If you have ideas about how to improve our rail service, we want to hear from you.

We are holding a rail summit, with key players including Network Rail, GWR and Cross Country, to discuss improvements to the service on the 19th of June between 2pm and 4pm.

This will take place at the Torbay Community Cafe and Help Hub at 4-8 Temperance St, Torquay TQ2 5PU. Please come by if you are interested.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We offered Putin to meet anywhere where real decisions to end the war could be made. He does not want it.

We discussed with the U.S. and France the possibility of a meeting with Russia around the G7, with all democratic nations represented. Putin does not want it.

Yesterday, we discussed with President Trump that such a meeting could be organized in the U.S. – in a format where Putin would find it much harder to refuse at least to President Trump.

We will see what comes of it. If Russia refuses this chance as well, additional pressure will be needed.

From an intervention at the EU Intergovernmental Conference. (3/3)

[Kira Rudik @kiraincongress]

France's Foreign Minister put it well:

A strike on the Lavra is the equivalent of bombing Notre-Dame.

This is what russia calls defending Christianity.

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

I’m campaigning for cheaper rail fares.

Privatisation meant higher fares every year while taxpayers paid billions in subsidies.

Labour now has a chance to do things differently.

Cheaper fares would help millions and show a Labour Government is on the side of working people.

[Edward Morello MP @EdwardMorelloWD]

Earlier I asked Ministers what the Government was doing about excessive service charges and exit fees in the retirement property sector.

Opinion: The medium-term horizon for UK-EU relations contains only two destinations. The first is something not so different from today, with marginally more alignment and integration. The second is rejoining the EU. https://t.co/wsQYfPZxRv

I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery.

This is what russia is destroying.

The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site.

Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.”

It’s literally barbarism.
