The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.

The Tories failed the British steel sector. Today, Labour is securing it.

For too many, justice delayed is justice denied. Next year, Crown Court judges will oversee a record 110,000 days of cases. After 14 years of Tory chaos, these extra 4,000 days help deliver the swifter justice victims deserve. Labour is rebuilding the criminal justice system.
This is a decision nobody really wanted, especially the aid cut, but the PM is doing what is needed given the developing international situation.

thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar… No one wants to pay more tax & I sympathise, but for years farmers had a special tax advantage over others & hate losing some of it. Who wouldn’t? They still have massive tax advantages & crucially public services must be funded.
Yes, this is a great first step - but there is still a lot of work to be done to fix the NHS. Well done Ministers & the NHS staff, however cutting waiting lists to 2010 levels, recruiting enough Drs and nurses & ensuring people can get a GP appointments will be a long haul yet!

Promise made, promise delivered early! We promised to deliver two million more appointments a year as our first step to bring down waiting lists. We’ve delivered - seven months early! A hell of lot more to do, but the tide is turning. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar… Really? Her new message is you must vote for me or civilisation will fall? Yep! Then she refers to the Roman Empire & praises Trump. Ms Badenoch is cutting an increasingly desperate, bizarre & sad figure on the political stage. Just not up to it
Mike O'Brien KC retweeted
You can’t have tax breaks for some of the wealthiest if you want NHS waiting lists to come down.

Former and current prime ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Sir Keir Starmer were among the mourners who have arrived for the funeral of Lord John Prescott. #lordjohnprescott #uknews #ukpolitics #skynews

Absolute honour to pipe John Prescott into Hull Minister. He was a Labour giant and a great friend and it was so nice to see so many paying tribute. TB GB and John’s son David all made superb tributes to a good man who did so much for so many
