It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years. European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.

Yes. Stop Farage. Stop Reform. Stop the corruption. Stop the racism. Stop the misogyny. Stop the hatred. Stop the cruelty. Stop the incompetence. Stop the division. Stop the threats. Stop the fascism. Stop the failure. Just, ffs, stop him.

At 93, former nurse Dorothy is speaking out for the first time in her life. Reform tried to close her care home, to evict her friends from the place they feel safe. They saw an easy target but these terrified pensioners fought back. And Dorothy is urging us all to do the same...

Honest and direct meeting with @SecRubio yesterday. I made it crystal clear that claims and statements about annexing Greenland are not only unacceptable and disrespectful. They amount to a violation of international law.
