I agree with Angela.
It’s time for a general election.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

The Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak without him saying a word about what he would do as PM. He has no mandate, no answers and no ideas. Nobody voted for this.

The public deserve their say on Britain’s future through a General Election. It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.

It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.

Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.

We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

[Penny Mordaunt @PennyMordaunt]

I’d thought there was a small chance Downing Street was trying to do the right thing, but struggling against a Labour Parliamentary Party that would not do the necessary, including cutting welfare. Guess this disgraceful quote has flattened that theory. They really don’t get the peril they are putting nation in.

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

In almost any other household, if a man suddenly parked a brand new £125,000 motorhome in the driveway - and acquired other new vehicles - his wife would ask where on earth he got the money from.

Вдумайтесь. Посол Америки в Украине ушла в отставку и открыто обвинила Трампа в заключении союза с Путиным.

Респект Бриджет Бринк. Смелая и честная женщина

I wish a Labour politician would say exactly this.

"Forces minister Al Carns to miss key vote on Troubles prosecutions"

You either stand with veterans, or you don't

Being a weasel to keep your job is a bit too like Starmer if you ask me ...

Keir Starmer must give Labour MPs a free vote on this, not force them into being accomplices to a cover up.

Even Boris Johnson didn’t block his MPs from voting for scrutiny.

[Richard Williams @williams_rje]

The super ambitious, but clearly conflicted, Armed Forces Minister is being advised that it would be better for him, his party and his ambitions if he did not attend the vote.

It is said that he has made his views known behind closed doors. To what effect? We simply don’t know. But it is clear than an open conflict with Hillary Benn, Hermer and Starmer on this NI (“Lawfare”) Bill will destroy his chances of promotion.

I’ve seen this situation many times before. It is a fate-sent test of character and principle. Who will the leader forsake to make the next step up the ladder? How will he justify this? And at what cost to those that have looked up to him, trusted him?

We will see…

What a letter

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States.
Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

I’ve referred Lord Hermer to the Bar Standards Board.

He went after British soldiers despite warnings murder allegations were false.

He knew what he was doing: he sought "wriggle room if the killings did not happen."

It says everything that Starmer made him Attorney General.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Pentagon just told Britain that the Falkland Islands might not be British anymore.

Not because Argentina deserves them. Because Keir Starmer wouldn’t send a warship.

That is where Britain stands today. A nation that once ruled a quarter of the planet, reduced to a country that can have its territories handed to a South American populist as punishment for insufficient loyalty to a man who cannot spell the word alliance.

Trump was invited to meet the King. Full state visit. The works. Red carpet, Buckingham Palace, the ceremonial humiliation of a host nation pretending not to notice that their guest has spent every day since the invitation was extended publicly mocking them. He called the Prime Minister a coward. He called British aircraft carriers toys. He has treated the special relationship like a doormat and wiped his feet on it every single morning before breakfast.
And Britain just stood there and took it.

Every time.

His own niece put it better than any analyst ever could. He hates weakness above all else. Not enemies. Weakness. And nothing triggers him faster than a friend who absorbs the punishment and comes back asking for more. Because that is not friendship to him. That is sport.

Starmer still has a phone. He still has a palace on speed dial. And somewhere, buried under layers of diplomatic caution and Foreign Office nervousness, there may still be an actual human being capable of saying enough.

Cancel the visit. Tell the King to stay home. Do not give this man the photograph. Because the moment that picture is taken, he will use it to finish the job.

Trump does not do gratitude. He does dominance. Britain just volunteered to be the example.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Trump, the biggest failed strategist in US history, has plunged America into a strategic catastrophe.

During his self-proclaimed “victory parade” against Iran, he squandered at least 45% of the US's precision-guided missile arsenal in just seven weeks—including half of all THAAD missiles and nearly 50% of Patriot interceptor missiles. This isn't some fake news blog reporting this, but CNN, citing a CSIS analysis and internal Pentagon data. The result? An “imminent risk” of munitions depletion should a real conflict erupt in the coming years—for example, with China. Trump has ruined the US defense capability for years to come.
And for what?

For nothing.

No regime change in Iran. No destroyed nuclear program. No strategic breakthrough. Just a shaky ceasefire that gives the mullahs time to rearm while America stands naked. Trump, the great “Art of the Deal” master, has once again only produced hot air – and in doing so, burned through the most expensive and scarce weapons in the USA like a pubescent boy with fireworks.

[Mark Sedwill @marksedwill]

Olly Robbins acted with the calm integrity and intelligence that have defined his public service. His job was to judge whether #Mandelson’s risks could be mitigated, not tell the PM what he already knew. Starmer should retract his accusations and reinstate him.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The party is over @BorisJohnson.

Resign.

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

I have listened to Sir Olly Robbins evidence for last hour and forty minutes and am seeing the very best of the civil service. I am left incredulous that the decision was made to fire him. Has there been a more egregious and shameful decision by a political master desperate to save his own skin?
