- What is completely remarkable about this is that every November for the rest of his life, Rishi Sunak is going to have get on a flight from LAX to stand next to former and current Prime Ministers for Remembrance Sunday. And this is the legacy he’ll return to."On reflection, that was a mistake and I apologise." Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says it is important that the story of him leaving D-Day commemorations early yesterday is not "politicised". trib.al/i12Uy6J 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube
00:00 - In the three days it has taken to come up with this list: - the onshore wind ban has already been lifted; - the new health secretary has already begun talks with the BMA; - the new Green MP for Waveney Valley has come out against net zero infrastructure.The Green Party has laid down the first 10 steps the new Labour government must take in their first 100 days to show they’re serious about changing Britain ⤵️ What do you want to see them do first?
- It’s simply bonkers that a Labour peer giving Labour politicians money was front page news for week, and yet Tory leadership candidates having to quickly raise £500k from private money for the party has been barely whispered about.A side note on Tory leadership contest... the final two candidates must donate £150,000 *each* to CCHQ That’s on top of £50,000 that each of final four already had to give CCHQ Move has sparked ‘annoyance’ among some campaigns & claims it’ll be used for CCHQ redundancy pay offs

- Still so incredibly proud, still the love of my life !
- ‘Some people say I shouldn’t be leader of the Conservative Party because I’m from the Midlands’ is a truly insane thing to sayI’m not embarrassed about where I’m from, about having to work, or about loving my country. You shouldn’t be either.
00:00 - Today is the day to make history! Grateful for everything, and so proud of Al I could burst ❤️
- The first government defeat of this parliament - by four votes. Which is also the number of seats Labour has gained through by-elections in 2023. From thousands of doors knocked then to thousands of families getting the compensation they deserve now. It all matters. ❤️The government lost the vote on compensation for victims of the contaminated blood scandal. Hear the gasps!
00:00 - Couldn't be prouder of Al delivering his maiden speech today - full of the heart, principles and humour that everyone saw over the campaign. Exceedingly lucky to have him in my life - and as my MP!
- utterly gorgeous day seeing Al get sworn in with loving colleagues (!), family and friends ❤️
EXC: MOST of us think people who play loud music on their phones are rude — but we are too scared to tell them, a survey shows. 8 in 10 hate it when others blare out videos and tunes on transport or in public spaces. MPs urge action on noise nuisance thesun.co.uk/news/33017160/…- Labour staffers work tirelessly for the wins everyone else celebrates, often making tough calls on resources that have led to our most historic by-election, mayoral and local victories in recent years. They also don’t get a right of reply when getting slagged off in the press.
- {to the British press} So what was it that first attracted you to write several hit pieces on openly gay and Muslim Lord Alli?
