How Britain could afford to pay for war https://t.co/iWK3gewOCM | opinion

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

The UK has twice as many taxes as it had in 1993.

Not twice as much tax. Twice as many taxes.

Yes, we pay a bit more tax, but tax has got a whole lot more complicated. Time to reverse that.

[Dan Jarvis MP @DanJarvisMBE]

We’re taking the fight to the organised criminals who abuse our high streets.

We're backing the police and trading standards to shut down bogus businesses, stop dodgy shops from opening, and put the dirty cash they launder back into the public purse.

The BBC Football Awards are in! 🏆

Harrison Reed's stunning strike against Liverpool has been voted Premier League Goal of the Season by BBC Sport pundits, commentators and journalists.

What was your favourite goal of the campaign? ⚽

@NaziaRehman6 Congratulations!

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

The Kremlin will not evade our sanctions by hiding behind crypto networks and shadow financial systems.

The UK is tracking down and shutting off financial lifelines that sustain Putin’s war machine.

New sanctions will prevent safe havens for those enabling Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

If you’re looking for a fun Sunday activity head to St Andrew Bobola church on Leysfield Road for the annual Polish street party.

Lots of music, dancing, and some fantastic sausages!

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

I’m proud of UK leadership on Ukraine - under the last Government, and stepped up with this Labour Government.

But there is nothing to be proud of by removing Ukrainian flags and promoting Putin as a leader - like Reform does.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

London has been named the world’s number one city for culture.

From free world-class museums to theatre, music, dance and live performance, London’s cultural life reflects the creativity, diversity and global influence that defines our city.

Today’s strong growth figures show the Government has the right economic plan.

The choices I have made as Chancellor mean our economy is in a stronger position as we deal with the costs of the war in Iran.

Now is not the time to put our economic stability at risk.

[David Smith @dsmitheconomics]

Surprisingly strong monthly GDP growth of 0.3% growth in March, in spite of the war, contributed to a very good first quarter for the UK economy:

I welcome the European Partnership Bill in the King's Speech – boosting our economic security by making it easier to trade with our closest neighbours and trading partners. Good news for small firms in Chelsea and Fulham hit hard by new costs and red tape.

[Lucy Rigby MP @LucyRigby]

Happy to confirm that we’re taking forward legislation this session to allow more people to benefit from credit unions 🤝💷

This will form a key part of our Enhancing Financial Services & Markets Bill as just announced in today’s King’s Speech.
