I said to friends a few months ago that Iran is akin to the Suez crisis in how strategically damaging it is. More and more the case.

Good news (if it happens!) but Stratford International will only realise its full potential if the long-cancelled HS1/HS2 link tunnel is built. Hope Sadiq persuades the Government to be bold

Good on the Deputy Speaker! Far too many MPs are now solely using the Chamber to ask clippable Questions. Makes a complete mockery of any debate and scrutiny

You'd hope the former *Cabinet Secretary* would understand the constitution. Burnham will command the confidence of the House, and unless that evaporates or the legal time limit comes around, he is fine. We need to move away from this implicit Presidentialism www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Done properly, this would be an excellent way to begin to rebalance power and focus away from the Westminster bubble. The media, lobbyists, and government officials regularly heading to the north west for substantial reasons is very very welcome

Re-joining the EU is not the magic fix to Britain's economy many think it is. In large parts of the UK the economy did not work for people before 2016. It has got worse, yes, but we need to be bolder and think bigger about our economic malaise & people's lack of decent living standards

The number of antisemites this brought out of the woodwork is vile. To be clear, if you think anything Israel does justifies stabbing Jews in Britain, you're the same scum who think 9/11 justifies fire-bombing mosques, or Channel crossings justifies burning asylum hotels.

A deeply frustrating and depressing article. The UK rightly extended the hand of support and solidarity to BN(O) passport holders in Hong Kong. We should never go back on that commitment, and the Government really should think again about their proposals. on.ft.com/4hpcvBt

Horrific antisemitism on display again, on one of the holiest days for Jews, with a violent attack on a synagogue. Thoughts are with all my Jewish friends.

Even if ChatGPT is being used, its arguably less of an issue than many MPs (not you two!) using their time in the Chamber *solely* for the use of clipping it for social media.

Nonsense and offensive from the Netanyahu govt. *Their* actions are bolstering Hamas by shredding the goodwill and support Israel rightly got after the awful attacks on Oct 7th. A 2 state solution is the only long term way forward. www.thetimes.com/article/d75c...

Another example of arguing the toss for months to just return to the obvious way forward. Wise up.

The determination of Kemi Badenoch to turn Lucy Connolly - a woman who demanded a pogrom ffs - into a national hero just shows how far down the right wing Twitter rabbit hole she is. Really despicable.

London's nightlife is on its knees, you don't feel safe checking your phone when you're walking around, and you pay through your nose in rent. But sure, let's rehash Brexit arguments and spend time on something the Mayor isn't responsible for. Smh.

Honoured to be a guest of the UK-Taiwanese APPG to hear from former President of Taiwan, President Tsai. The UK & Taiwan have strong links. In a uncertain world, President Tsai called out the threats from disinformation and provocation. We all must support progressive democracies like Taiwan.

I think the premise of this is bang on. Cutting WFA was - and is - ridiculously unpopular and shouldn't have happened in the way it did, but reversing course will not pay off politically - and economically would be *even more* damaging. Look ahead, not back. www.newstatesman.com/comment/2025...

Childish, performative politics. Exactly what you can expect from the Greens. Trump's position means the UK should step up to support our allies, not withdraw in the face of a fascist Russia. That is what a proper internationalist Party would do.

There is over 4 years until the next General Election, but the results in some of these County Councils are a clear warning to the Government. The Prime Minister is right to say we need to go further and faster in driving change - but it needs to be tangible

Its a bold and welcome step from the Government to publish this data, getting to the root of who is responsible for crime in the UK. Clarity and transparency are keys tools in tackling the far right, not treating everything conceivable as an "anti-migrant agenda"

The Court Ruling today on Trans women shows just how far we've regressed in public opinion due to entrenched extreme views. This clip - from 1994(!) - is so revealing. Not a single member of the audience had a issue with two trans women. Imagine the response now... youtu.be/Pfbe9iCs8Dw?...
