NEW: Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips resigns from government. "The desire not to have an argument means we rarely make an argument, leaving opportunities for progress stalled and delayed."

"Keir Starmer realises that this would be the seventh PM since Brexit - it is 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘥. "It makes us a national joke if we cannot, as a nation, hold on to a PM more than 18 months." Is Starmer's refusal to go a sign of arrogance, or an attempt to avoid another psychodrama?

Certainly hope so. #RefUK’s funding must be thoroughly scrutinised. Eg “personal,” £5m donation to Farage.

In 2024, before becoming an MP, Nigel Farage was given a £5m gift by a crypto billionaire, which he says was to pay for private security. With Reform victories across the UK in local elections, will there now be more scrutiny on how the party is funded? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/whos...

If Labour is going to spend the next few months arguing about who should be PM, they should at least agree on one thing: these damaging red lines on Europe have to go. A customs union is vital to grow our economy and to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.

We all know the best way to deliver desperately needed economic growth: a closer relationship with Europe. Yet the PM's reset plan is far too unambitious. Leading Labour leadership contenders must put the country first and commit to fixing our broken relationship with Europe if they enter No. 10.

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

Delighted that Reform's motion has been pulled from Thursday's agenda. I registered a number of objections with the Monitoring Officer, that several of the factual assertions are demonstrably, objectively untrue and arguably amount to Islamaphobia.

I am disgusted by this motion, containing many false claims, that the ruling Reform Group have put down for full council next Thursday. I'll have 3 mins to speak against it. It's so bad I don't know where to begin. 1. Reform UK Group - Illegal Migration Emergency.pdf share.google/jdeiVw9XC2eo...

The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law. We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America. Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.
