A pleasure to have Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper in Cawood today to discuss the very real issue of rural crime.

Rural crime is on the rise. By introducing our rural crime strategy and bringing agencies together, Labour will be the party that tackles the problem head on.

'No apology for Trump, for Enoch Powell, or Lee Anderson? You're unfit to be the Mayor.'

Sadiq Khan challenges Susan Hall on her 'record of dividing communities'.

Incredible. Conservative London mayoral candidate Susan Hall now tells LBC she's backed universal free school meals for primary school children all along 'and that can be documented'.

Here she is just earlier this month calling them 'wrong' and twice saying she'd scrap them

Big team out tonight in Rother Valley for local candidates Geoff Frost & Sarah Allen & mayoral candidate Oliver Coppard. Great to have Jake Richards with us who is going to be a great MP for Rother Valley.

Tonight, Jewish families around the world will begin the celebration of Passover with the traditional seder meal. Michelle and I loved the seders we held in the White House, and the story of Passover – with its focus on resilience, redemption, and renewal in the face of

Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.

Ten years ago, Mark Menzies was accused of trying to buy drugs from a teenage Brazilian rent boy. He quit his ministerial position, and the party later made him the government trade envoy to Colombia and Peru.

Don't say the Conservatives don't do irony.

A drinks party to celebrate deporting vulnerable people to a country that isn’t safe.

I have no words I can type here for just how awful Conservatives are.

The government’s changes to voter ID rules have been a cynical attempt to rig the voting system in their favour,
and to stop those who most need change from making change happen.

Don’t forget! Post your postal vote this weekend and send Rishi Sunak a message - the change we need starts now.

Labour couldn’t pay for publicity like this.

The roar when the ball hits the net 😍

Ministers lowered performance targets for failing firms…opening the door to lucrative taxpayer-funded bonuses.
 
Rigging the rules to reward failure.

With Labour, change is coming. We will bring our railways into public ownership as contracts expire.

George Galloway and the Lib Dems, a Tale of 5 Acts.

1. Galloway says the Lib Dems are the most ‘utterly vile, unprincipled and treacherous’ party he’s ever encountered in 50 years in politics

If Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley has to resign because of the behaviour of an officer

How many times will Rishi Sunak have to resign because of the behaviour of his 'officers' Conservative MPs?

Also clear that most those calling for Rowley to resign are annoyed because he refused to obey Braverman’s draconian call to ban peaceful protest. These are not people concerned about racism, but provocateurs with narrow sectarian interests
