Prime Minister Keir Starmer is visiting a defence factory in Wiltshire and says 'my first duty is to keep our country safe' as 'we're living in dangerous and volatile times'
It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others
Just spoke to a business event in the Midlands. Show of hands on whether Starmer should stay or go — 80-20 stay. Has been similar at several recent events. Really interesting to see such a chasm between political/media bubble view, and out and about. Main reasons given “stability …. May not like some of the decisions but we are used to them now … fear of similar chaos as under the Tories … feeling that any PM with a decent majority has “the right and the duty” to serve a full term … May not be the most charismatic but “can the others really do much better in the circs?” … sense that media make everything seem worse than it is … worry that “country first, party second” exposed as hollow.
Lady in glasses, "I'd just like to say that if there should be any cold rage that is happening, it should be directed towards the politicians"
Fiona Bruce, "What, all of them?"
Lady in glasses, "No, the ones trying to sow the seeds of division between us"
"Because we're basically being manipulated by billionaires at this point"
"And it shouldn't be like that"
@afneil As I've stated before Andrew
14 years of austerity cannot be addressed in 22 months
Labour are sorting out the utter mess. But it takes one job at a time
It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.
JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Macron: All those who told us six months ago that Ukraine was going to collapse, wouldn't make it through winter, that we had to hurry up and accept unacceptable — Ukrainians, with strength and courage, have once again proven them wrong. Now it's up to us to build lasting peace.
🚨Four out of the six arrested #FarageRiot-ers only turn out to be Reform UK councillors. Great work by @YoungBobRB aiding the police with some great footage!!!

Foreign money funding Reform UK.
Another 7m from two overseas British crypto billionaires - £4m from Hong Kong-based billionaire, £3m from Thailand.
Tax exiles shaping UK politics. What have they been promised?

It really wasn’t. It was an outright abuse of Henry’s father’s wishes.
And the US government is hardly in a place to reprimand the UK on police brutality, racism or error.
Sky's @cathynewman interviewed Reform's Zia Yusuf about the murder of Henry Nowak, then faced a deluge of online abuse, including misogyny and death threats.
She looks at a small sample of the posts and explains why journalists should "call it out" ⬇️
'Elon Musk is not conducive to the public good.'
@campbellclaret suggests that Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain Party is only getting noticed because of the influence of Elon Musk-owned X.
