Labour's latest attack on welfare is a disgraceful assault on the dignity of the sick and disabled. If the government really wanted to crack down on people "gaming the system", they would go after tax dodgers hoarding our country's wealth.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue. The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum. Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

The Prime Minister should make a statement, immediately, to confirm whether UK missiles have been fired into Russia. Full statement below.
