This is what a genuine increase in defence spending looks like - deeds, not words.

About right.

“Only Labour will protect victims” in Telford.

Tell that to the hundreds of little girls that were groomed, raped and killed by Pakistani-Muslim gangs under Labour’s watch.

I hope every woman in Scotland who wishes to speak up for the reality and importance of biological sex will be reassured by this announcement, and I trust that all women - irrespective of profile or financial means - will be treated equally under the law.

Toady we welcomed the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, & our local MP, Peter Gibson, to Darlington Locomotive Works. The visit enabled the PM to hear an update on the A1 , P2 & track work at DLW. Chairman Steve Davies briefed on plans for a turntable at the site, S&DR 200 & more.

You said no debate. We debated, and you turned out to be terrible at it. So you upped the stakes and tried to criminalise the debate. When you have this kind of power, with governments in your pocket, you’re not the marginalised people in this story

If the @bbc could be said to have a mind, it’s lost it. Seven of its lead stories tonight are Israel or Jewish-related. Go and find something else to write about, please.

Hi Avanti West Coast Is the 0645 from Wolves running today?

This is what Biden cares about and who he caters to. He is devaluing Easter and elevating trans recognition.

Downright shameful and despicable.

A warning to all - be careful about drink driving as the police are out checking on people. Last night I was out for a few drinks and one thing led to another and I had a few too many, not a good idea & knowing I was over the limit, I decided to leave the car at the pub and took

So DHLParcelUK can you explain how you book a delivery slot for today and then half way through it move the delivery to Tuesday? Who will cover the extra time taken off work? Is this a reasonable level of customer service?

Our civil service calculated that refurbishing RAF Wethersfield in Essex and RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire to house migrants would cost £5mn each.

However, expenditure has since increased to £49mn for Wethersfield and £29mn for Scampton.

Can’t stand this systemic incompetence.

For context, the Mayor is promising 4,000 council houses a year. According to Savills, London needs 90k-100k homes per year.

Scotland’s “independent” prosecution service (COPFS) demonstrates how to engage in goalpost shifting but end up hole digging. (1/4)

Good cabinet this AM. Always remember what a privilege it is to be the UK’s first Veterans’ Minister in the Cabinet and all the changes it has allowed us to make.

Bush Snr: “The place for our Veterans is around my cabinet table”. Rishi the first UK PM to replicate that honour.

It’s now obvious why Angela Rayner had refused to answer questions on this. Labour’s statement was just false.

Labour frontbench reaction to Hunt's Angela Rayner gag worthy of hanging in the Louvre

Unless she finally decides to answer the questions “Two Homes Angela” is going to stick.
