I swear we've seen a variant of this headline every month for the last two years. Is it really that hard to decide between them? Someone, please, just make a decision

Great to join with Jimmy, better known as @MrBeast, to highlight efforts to provide school meals to 100 million more children worldwide by 2030. School meals are among the best investments we can ever make.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Interesting move by Farage - although I do wonder if it's a tad short-sighted Seems clear he will win the by-election, but it's framed as a way of letting Clacton constituents judge him *instead* of the Privileges Committee This isn't really the case [1/2]

As others have pointed out, the investigation will continue when and if he is re-elected - possibly opening the path to a SECOND Clacton by-election this year Maybe Farage can use this to point to the ridiculousness of the system, but surely there's a chance this backfires [2/2]

🇸🇴 Somalia's government is falling apart at exactly the wrong moment. Fighting broke out in Mogadishu this week between government forces and opposition groups, all over an electoral system that nobody actually agrees on. Al-Shabaab, Somalia’s powerful Islamist militant group linked to al-Qaeda, has been waiting for this. Every week of infighting is a week they use to expand.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says he will not resign despite the "really tough" local election results "It hurts, and it should hurt, and I take responsibility. Tough days like this don’t weaken my resolve to deliver the change that I promised. They strengthen my resolve"
