Despite all the precedents, it is incredible to watch media figures & outlets who were supremely comfortable with a Prime Minister breaking all manner of rules, regulations & conventions hysterically attacking a Prime Minister who has broken precisely none.

I asked @Keir_Starmer many months ago,if a general election was called tomorrow were they ready for Government. His answer was an emphatic YES...and I now see why. Depth of talented Ministers forming an impressive Cabinet....I am beginning to dare to feel hope.

I couldn’t be more grateful to my wonderful local Labour team for all their efforts over the past 6 weeks. They’ve run the most visible, enthusiastic and energetic campaign of all the parties and I’m very proud of them. Whatever the result, they are on the map in #EastWiltshire

OK... I have had a chance to take a good look at the Labour Manifesto...it's well considered, comprehensive and although I know none of us will like everything ( I am disappointed around the support for Nature..although I welcome the clean rivers and new forests) there is some seriously good stuff in it. I think it's time for a new approach...we were stuck in a reactive pinball game and now limbo when we need to move forward. I want a serious Government and that looks very much like Labour to me.

Labradors - double coated, waterproofed & insulated - were bred from St John’s Water Dogs, carefully selected to retrieve fish from the semi-arctic waters of Newfoundland and Labrador for their fishermen owners. Here are 3 of them, begging to get inside to escape light drizzle.

Nicely done @carolvorders
How many Angela Rayner Units in a Tory? #AngelaRayners For instance.. £7,897 Boris Johnson booze bill for his Brexit party Jan 31st 2020 5 #AngelaRayners Many more below⏬️ and in this thread 👍🏼🧵 One Angela Rayner Unit of £1,500 is what the Tories claim she may owe in CGT on a house she bought in 2007. Her tax advisor says she doesn't. With @Conservatives hypocrisy reaching explosive levels, I thought it a good exercise to see how this claim of theirs relates to just some of their own waste, fines and dodgy dealings. £15,000 Liz Truss in-flight catering on one private jet single trip to Australia 10 #AngelaRayners £34,000 Libel Bill - Michelle Donelan got us to pay after she libelled an academic 23 #AngelaRayners £61,000 fine for Vote Leave breaking Electoral Law. MD Matthew Elliott given a peerage 41 #AngelaRayners £67,801 illegal donation (broke Electoral Law) for Boris Johnson's flat refurbishment 45 #AngelaRayners £334,803 spent by Foreign Office in 2021 on alcohol alone 223 #AngelaRayners £370,000 paid out for Priti Patel bullying Philip Rutnam. She bullied. We paid. 247 #AngelaRayners £993,086 severance payouts to Tory ministers during Johnson/Truss debacle Some had only been in office a matter of days or weeks but were due taxpayer funded payouts anyway 662 #AngelaRayners £2,000,000 for 8 by-elections caused by Tories bad behaviour/quit under Rishi Sunak 1,333 #AngelaRayners £40,000,000 VIP helicopter contract which Ben Wallace was cancelling. Sunak intervened and kept it 26,667 #AngelaRayners £65 million PPE estimated profit for Michelle Mone and husband under investigation by the National Crime Agency 43,333 #AngelaRayners £4 BILLION wasted on unusable PPE 2,666,667 #AngelaRayners Other Tory amounts of hypocrisy welcome 👍🏼 (all numbers rounded)

I'm proud to have been selected as the @UKLabour candidate for #EastWiltshire - the constituency where I grew up. It's a new seat and a chance for a new start after 14 years of Tory rule - as soon as the PM plucks up the courage to give you your say. swindonlink.com/news/eastwil…

So far this has to be one of the most lacklustre Budget speeches I have ever heard. #Budget2024 If this is meant to boost Tory electoral chances it looks like they have given up.

Hmm, Hunt repeated what Mandelson said about Starmer needing to lose a few pounds. FWIW, I don't think should have been said first time around and certainly not repeated by CX. Bad taste

Heartbreaking.
Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed. It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long. (Location: Bournemouth Beach)

Deal of the century—the rest of the 21st century. But the so-called leaders of the free world are too cowardly and shortsighted to take it.
Ukrainian foreign minister Kuleba to Western countries: "We offer you the best deal: you don't sacrifice your soldiers, give us weapons and money, and we will finish the job."
