Yesterday #PMQs Starmer calls Johnson out on Environment, Global vaccines, India Variant, lack of support to Business, NI Protocol, sell out trade deal and much more. Responses? Johnson: ‘Captain Hindsight! Miserable!’. Sky News: ‘Cut to Putin!’ Blinkered: ‘Starmer says nowt’…

Good to see support for #hospitality at today’s #PMQ with @Keir_Starmer referencing our evidence that the sector will lose £3bn because of the delay and that 200,000 jobs could be at risk, and urging the Prime Minister to provide support in light of the decision to delay.

Public inquiry now. Not next year. Now.

[Sir Richard Evans @RichardEvans36]

Right-wing politicians and websites are repeatedly condemning what they see as 'attempts to rewrite our history'. Don't they realise this is what historians do all the time? And whose history is it anyway?

Boris Johnson has squandered the hard work of everyone in the UK.

We’ve been calling for a stricter border policy for months – but Conservatives didn’t listen.

Now they’ve lost control of the virus.

Companies to pull out of GB News so far:

✅ IKEA
✅ Nivea

If we really want to change the world for the better, we have to seriously tackle climate change and not miss this year's opportunity to begin the move to a net carbon zero world. #ClimateChange #ChangetheWorld

If we want a fairer and safer world then we need Vaccine Equality. No one is safe anywhere until everyone is safe everywhere. Even if outbreaks are inevitable pandemics become avoidable. #GlobalHealth #ChangetheWorld

Ours is a 25:75 world with only 25% with educational qualifications and 75% left out. 300 million children are not at school, the majority of them girls. We can be the first generation in history where EVERY single child goes to school. #Education #ChangetheWorld

Jo Cox was a committed and compassionate MP for Batley and Spen who we miss all the time. On the fifth anniversary of her murder, 16th June, we will be suspending all campaigning in the by-election as a mark of respect.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

The UK government just sold out British farmers, undermined environmental protections and gave Australia everything it wanted - in exchange for a tiny 0.025% increase in UK growth according to the most optimistic projection the government could come up with.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Absolutely horrific. Solidarity with Nick Watt. It is a fundamental principle of any democracy that journalists are free to do their jobs without intimidation.

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

This is absolutely disgraceful. The police have to get involved.
