I welcome the Prime Minister’s admission that the Brexit deal is a disaster for our economy, but the real test is: will he drop Labour's red lines that stop us fixing it? Today he says no – so we have more work to do!

The first duty of any government is to defend its people. The Conservatives decimated our armed forces, and Labour is failing to invest. That's why we're calling for £20bn in defence bonds to urgently strengthen Britain's defences. @maxwilkinson.bsky.social

Kemi Badenoch claims the Conservative Party has changed, but people in Spelthorne aren't so convinced. I came to hear their concerns, and it's clear: empty promises won’t make them forget years of Conservative chaos, neglect and failure.

When I visited the Nova music festival site, the impact of October 7th hit home. Three years on, the violence continues, and we have seen an appalling rise in antisemitism here and around the world. We must stand with the Jewish community, stamp out antisemitism, and work for a lasting peace.

The motion passed at Green Party Conf' actively undermines a 2-state solution, and does not address the rising threats of Islamophobia and Antisemitism here in the UK. This is a divisive motion that pours fuel on the fire of tensions in the UK, and will leave many British Jews feeling less safe.

The Tories continue to let young people down. £2bn in apprenticeship funding unspent. Youth mobility with Europe ended. Now they want to cut support for young jobseekers and take away 100,000 university places. Lib Dems have a plan to give young people opportunities they deserve.

We have to treat mental health with the same seriousness we treat physical health. And that starts with funding. While mental health services receive such meagre funding, vulnerable people and children will be left on waiting lists. We need fairer funding to get this right.

This is racism, straight out of the Trump playbook. Reform are trying to turn our great country into a franchise of Trump's America. There are countless British patriots who came here from overseas, many of them refugees we proudly welcomed. That's the kind of country we are.

We have a plan that would finally end the small boats crisis: a pact with every EU country that will allow us to return people who come over the Channel. It's time to take away the major pull factor that Farage and co-created and destroy the business model of the criminal gangs.
