    Emily Thornberry to Labour conference: "The last time I stood here in 2018, I was shadowing Boris Johnson. When our conference was cancelled in 2020, I was shadowing Liz Truss. So ... I apologise in advance for the catastrophic premiership of Suella Braverman."

    Suella Braverman has deleted this, possibly because she was Home Secretary when it happened.

    Asked about the behaviour of Nadine Dorries this morning, Rishi Sunak said: "I'm not focused on the past, I'm focused on the future." Asked whether HS2 will go to Manchester, he said: "I'm not speculating on future things." 🤷‍♂️

    What an insult to the hundreds of British troops who died alongside Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Bad news for Starmer and Macron. Vance confirms the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal. He also plays down British & French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

    Weak, weak, weak! Labour lied to get into office. Said they’d be whiter than white, said they wouldn’t put up taxes, said they’d stand up to the EU, said that they be patriotic. All lies! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
