Call it what you want, this is a confidence vote, and it’s shaping up to paint a very clear picture
Despite Liz Kendall and other cabinet ministers being locked in talks trying to convince welfare rebels not to vote down the bill, I'm told the number of Labour MPs planning to do so has actually gone up - from 108 to 127.
Very much hoping he insists on working with a PR firm he’s familiar with 🤭
Very strong news. The BBC’s former Head of Values Ian Fletcher has been appointed to an exciting new role as Director of Integrity for an upcoming global football tournament. Learn more ➡️ bbc.in/4n4Rvm9
The pledges Ellie & Adrian failed on btw 🧐😬 #BackZack
Good morning! It's the day we release the results from our pledges. Firstly, for leadership, we pitted the responses from @EllieChowns and @AdrianRamsay against @ZackPolanski. You can view every response word-for-word @ lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-hustings/…
This is exactly what so many of us meant when we asked for bolder and stronger comms from the Greens It’s so so clear that only @ZackPolanski can be the next Green Party leader Want better? Vote Zack! @AdrianRamsay and @EllieChowns’ offering of social conservatism and…
⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
Starmer suspending @HackneyAbbott (once again) really shows how awful he is, both as PM and Labour leader. If Starmer wants to take Blue Labour to the polls at the next GE, I’ll look forward to his resignation the morning after Starmer needs to go
This is the clip of my interview.
The abuser is out 🥳🥳
NEW: Reform MP James McMurdock has relinquished the party whip over an investigation into alleged business impropriety during the Covid pandemic.
Comedic gold (but also speaks volumes)
🚨 POLL: More in Common asked voters to list Labour's biggest achievement after 1 year in power. The top answer by a landslide: NOTHING.
Zarah splitting the left in a time where unity is so apt, to found a party with a guy who apparently doesn’t even know he’s supposed to be founding a party really shows how out of touch she is - this was probably her only commonality with the Labour PLP
Some spray paint vs genocide. Priorities are all wrong clearly
🚨 BREAKING: MPs have voted to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation Yes: 385 No: 26
So what went on here @MWheelerMP? Yes, clause 5 was revoked, but the Bill itself will still undoubtedly negatively impact your constituents. This is incredibly disappointing. The Bill still hasn’t sought proper consultation from those impacted, and I fail to see how your vote…
Concessions this late on? Do MPs even know what they’re voting on anymore? Just withdraw the bill.
Same energy tbh
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says he is “very confident” he will remain PM and Labour leader amid rebellions on welfare reform
And so it begins. Trump has just quite possibly kicked off WW3
Struggling to find the words for this one 😪
The Trump administration is shutting down the National LGBTQ+ youth suicide lifeline on July 17th.
Hi @bbcquestiontime, please explain in what way this is even remotely a politically balanced panel
Tomorrow, Question Time is in Fleetwood. Joining Fiona on the panel are Darren Jones, Simon Clarke, Sarah Olney and Zia Yusuf Watch or listen to #bbcqt first on the @BBCNews Channel, @BBCiPlayer and @BBCSounds at 9pm, or @BBCOne at 10:40pm
BREAKING NEWS: "Historic agreement" An agreement for the future relationship between the EU and UK in relation to Gibraltar is now a reality.
Such misleading content from the Torygraph, as usual
This is untrue and misleading. It should be entirely disregarded. Disappointed in @Telegraph.
You literally have no clue what you’re talking about. The people of Gib were kept in limbo for so long by your government’s inaction, the least they deserve is a decent Brexit deal (especially considering 96% voted remain)
Another surrender and a handover in all but name. This government consistently undermines Britain, and it is absolutely unforgivable. The Falklands will be next.
This kind of editorial framing is the lowest of the low. It is fundamentally misleading ("selfie yacht"), takes the position of the Israeli government as fact, and has virtually 0 informational content. Embarrassing from LBC.
Greta Thunberg's “selfie yacht” stunt brought to an end as boat is intercepted - and Israel will force those on board to watch harrowing video of October 7 attacks buff.ly/eJg3eFP
