Yet again, no idea. It’s his stock answer, his catchphrase, his modus operandi. No idea Nige.
Farage: “I have absolutely no idea” if Laura Anne Jones will become the Senedd leader and candidate for FM. Suggests long way to go to May next year
I’m really pleased to have helped deliver this significant change. It’s not perfect but it will mean tens of millions of pounds of extra investment in UK music. Source: BBC News share.google/BlFGzOj59XwRyX…
Thank you, @tracey_crouch - this wouldn’t have been possible without your tireless work and leadership. The Football Governance Act is a real team effort, fan-driven, and long overdue.
I just wanted to say thank you to @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet @lisanandy @Steph_Peacock & @dcms officials for delivering the Football Governance Act, establishing an Independent Regulator. It was a long time coming! For the sake of fans, clubs & the sport, I wish it well.

Kemi Badenoch spokesperson: No Shadow Cabinet reshuffle until 2029.
And… GOAL! The Football Governance Bill has crossed the line - establishing the Independent Football Regulator to ensure club financial resilience, fan engagement, heritage protection, and fair play throughout gov.uk/government/new…
Labour is in Parliament announcing plans to clean up Britain’s waterways and protect consumers. Nigel Farage's Reform haven't even bothered to show up.
💯 on artists touring rights
PM tells @EmilyThornberry at Liaison C'tee that EU Summit is yearly "not just to monitor progress, but to go further". Hints that medicines and artists' touring visas are very much on the menu of "common sense changes... that have very little to do with the vote in 2016". ~AA
Our Football Governance Act puts fans first. It’s for supporters in Macclesfield, Wigan, Bury, Bolton, Derby, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Morecambe - and every club where fans were put last when they should’ve come first. Today is their win.
Odd to see claims that murder is soaring. Crime figures can be disputed (survey v reported) but murder data is pretty solid.
🚨 NEW: The Government has confirmed Ofwat is being abolished It’ll be replaced by one “powerful” regulator merging Ofwat, the Environment Agency, Natural England, and the Drinking Water Inspectorate to end the regulatory “merry-go-round”

In memory of my sister Margaret, we launched a Glioblastoma drug trial. Now, Margaret’s Trial is open on the NHS - and offering real hope. Ben, diagnosed with a Glioblastoma in 2022, saw his tumour vanish. His story helped make this happen. Watch here:
Excellent news. Quite right too.
Fewer quangos, stronger powers. Today we set out our plans for a shakeup of the standards landscape with a new Ethics and Integrity Commission and new powers of enforcement. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Not just an empty vessel, a dangerous empty vessel.
A blank space. And a dangerous one at that.
No idea. No answers.
Deeply concerned by the Israeli Civil Administration’s plan to revive the E1 settlement programme. If implemented, this would critically undermine a future Palestinian state and the path to a two-state solution - crushing the hopes of millions who wish for peace.
Today’s launch of Isambard puts us at the forefront of AI discovery. British researchers using this compute power to improve British lives – that's the future of the UK.
Supercomputers process huge amounts of data very quickly, and this power can be used to train AI models that advance research in cancer diagnoses, develop new medicines & sustainable materials. Watch Science Secretary @PeterKyle switch on the UK’s most powerful supercomputer👀
We’ve launched the Civil Society Covenant - a new partnership between government and civil society. Together, we’ll deliver real change through respect, shared ambition, and collaboration. This is what doing government differently looks like.
Delighted to see uk cinema attendances bounce back this year. Nothing beats the big screen experience.
Precisely
Reform UK can't just go around writing unhinged letters threatening investors with reprisals for growing our green economy and creating good, well-paid jobs. Here's my response and the questions they need to answer - signed by 58 Labour MPs.
