What a disaster!

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

The 80th anniversary of D-Day has been a profound moment to honour the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our values, our freedom and our democracy.

This anniversary should be about those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The last thing I want is for the commemorations to be overshadowed by politics.

I care deeply about veterans and have been honoured to represent the UK at a number of events in Portsmouth and France over the past two days and to meet those who fought so bravely.

After the conclusion of the British event in Normandy, I returned back to the UK. On reflection, it was a mistake not to stay in France longer – and I apologise.

Genuinely shocking behaviour from the PM! Properly commerating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day feels like more of a priority than a TV interview 🤯

EXCLUSIVE

The chief Treasury civil servant wrote to Labour two days ago saying that the £38 billion/£2,000 tax attack “should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service”

He said he had reminded ministers of this

On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish His Majesty all the very best for his recovery.

We look forward to seeing him back to swift full health.

That was genuinely the most stressful hour of TV I've experienced that I can remember! BBC should be so proud of what a fantastic job they've done with #TheTraitors

The producers right now:

It’s come to my attention that my account has recently been hacked and that the person has been sending messages as me and has been trying to tarnish my reputation as an actor 😖It’s been very distressing for me. Please do not reply to any out of character messages from me!

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

While the two minutes’ silence was marked respectfully and without incident on Whitehall, officers have faced aggression from counter protestors who are in the area in significant numbers.

The counter protestors are not one cohesive group. There are different groups moving away from Whitehall towards other parts of central London. Officers are keeping track of them as they do.

If their intention is to confront the main protest departing later today from Park Lane, we will use all the powers and tactics available to us to prevent that from happening.

AND ANOTHER ONE!!!! GET IN!!!!!

Pretty awesome to see my mate @LukeHarding3 featuring on one of my favourite shows #EastEnders - he smashed it 👊📺
