Farage is resigning?

Presumably to spend more time in Clacton???!!!

[Yachad UK @YachadUK]

1/2 @MattWestern_, who recently joined us on a delegation to Israel & Palestine, spoke in parliament today on the E1 settlement project.

E1 is being fast-tracked with the express purpose of ending the prospect of a two-state solution by completely fragmenting the West Bank.

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.

[Matt Western MP 🌹 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @MattWestern_]

Country first.

Given we are witnessing two major global conflicts and suffering a cost of living crisis (fuelled by both wars), we need stability here in the UK and collective leadership abroad.

That’s why I am backing Keir.

BREAKING

The Prime Minister told a meeting of the Cabinet:

“As I said yesterday, I take responsibility for these election results and I take responsibility for delivering the change we promised.

“The past 48 hours have been destabilising for government and that has a real economic cost for our country and for families.

“The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and that has not been triggered.

“The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a Cabinet.”

Today we've published a report calling for more clarity from the Government on its National Security Strategy, which aims to improve security at home, project strength abroad and develop ‘sovereign capabilities’.

Always sad to lose a colossus like Robert Mueller,
Such integrity, enhanced even in death by the pathetic musings of his presidential prey.
And to note Mueller did his duty and served in Viet Nam.. unlike the draft-dodging Trump https://t.co/hNvOI1AOuS

UK politics must be protected from illicit finance.

The Government must act now, and amend its Representation of the People Bill.

Cryptocurrency donations pose an unnecessary and unacceptably high risk to the integrity of UK political finance.

We also need tighter rules on overseas donors; a new national police unit to oversee political finance; and tougher criminal liability.

@Floramc40892744 Thanks for flagging this. The Environment Agency has extended the deadline to submit comments to the plans until 19th March. You can find more information here: https://t.co/dSzjWi60DK

[John Sweeney @johnsweeneyroar]

I'm writing a book about @Nigel_Farage for @headlinepg.

Funnily enough, some of his old associates are blanking me.

Is it because after I reported on the killing of a Polish man in Essex in 2016, he said that I had caused him "more misery than any other in 25 years in politics"?

So I'm asking the Great British public to lend me a hand because NF is seeking to be our lord and master.

Were you at school with NF? Worked with him in the City when he was a tin trader? Met him through politics?

Did you drive the pink Cadillac hired by Nathan Gill who last year got ten years for taking bribes from a Russian spy?

🚨BREAKING: new poll suggests there is just one point between Labour and Reform in Gorton and Denton.

Every vote will count on Thursday. Back Labour and choose unity over Reform’s division.

Big day for ⁦@MattWeston02⁩ ..
I, like the rest of the nation, am right behind you (metaphorically😉).
Good luck today https://t.co/420Hv2r5rj

Today I have announced the roll out of the Victims Right to Review pilot.

Rape victims will have the right for their case to be reviewed by another prosecutor before a decision is made to drop the case.

Thank you to @jadeblueLDN for your campaigning.

Wishing all those celebrating Orthodox Christmas in Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash, the villages and across the world, a very happy Christmas.

I hope today is filled with much joy for you and your loved ones.

[Matt Western MP 🌹 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @MattWestern_]

I’ve written to the Minister for the Middle East about the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Aid groups face licence revocations & severe access restrictions. I’ve asked what steps the UK will be taking to ensure that life-saving aid reaches those who need it most.

[Jake Richards MP @JakeBenRichards]

The Tory Shadow Attorney General is also now Abramovich’s legal counsel - apparently working to protect his assets from efforts to recover them for Ukraine.

Barristers should not be judged by the character of their clients. But his political position is clearly untenable.

[Matt Western MP 🌹 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @MattWestern_]

A great initiative

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

This scheme will give Britain’s young people a taste of the extraordinary skills and training on offer across the Army, Royal Navy and RAF.

As young people discuss their futures, I want opportunities in our Armed Forces to be part of their conversation.
