I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.

There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.

Millions of families are already at breaking point. Now experts warn energy bills could jump by Β£500 thanks to Donald Trump’s illegal war.

Today I asked the Prime Minister for a cast-iron guarantee that he will not let energy bills skyrocket again.

He didn’t give it.

Outrageous that Trump is trying to bully Britain into handing over more NHS cash to big US pharma.

Keir Starmer should put the NHS and the interests of British patients above his attempts to cosy up to Trump. Scrap this bad deal now!

We've seen before what happens when an American president launches an illegal war with no idea how it is going to end.

Does the Prime Minister not understand that when he fails to stand up to Trump, especially when he's breaking international law, it makes our country less safe?

As the price of natural gas spikes across Europe for the fourth time in the last five years remember those extremely clever people in Reform and the Conservatives who want to abandon renewable energy and rely even more on gas 🀑 🀑

Starmer needs to get on the phone to Trump and ask him to set out a plan to protect civilians and support a democratic transition in Iran.

We've seen before that bombs don't bring about democracy and regime change without a plan just leads to more chaos and suffering.

The Iranian people deserve to live free from a brutal regime. Donald Trump's unilateral and illegal military action won't deliver freedom, peace and security. It will only unleash more bloodshed.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

Deeply shocked by the reports of an incident at Manchester Central Mosque last night. My thoughts are with the whole Muslim community in the holy month of Ramadan

Thank you to all whose swift action stopped tragedy. We must stand united against Islamophobia and all forms of hate

Today I pressed the Prime Minister to release flight logs that could show Jeffrey Epstein using RAF plans and British airspace to traffic young women. 



It is right that we let the police do their work, but Epstein’s victims deserve a full and public enquiry too.

As a parent of a disabled child, you don’t want special treatment, just the right support to help your child thrive.

Yet families are battling for every assessment while private equity firms cash in.

We’ll end this racket, cap profits at 8%, and treat SEND as critical national infrastructure.

Trump loves suing people.... so the PM should take a leaf out of his book. Starmer should sue the President for illegal damage to the British economy.

Don’t worry Donald - we will settle for Β£100bn, that’s how it works right?

Another stunning win, congrats to the team in Redcar! πŸ”Ά

As the Labour vote collapses, Liberal Democrats are the ones beating Reform.

It's now clear Donald Trump is trying to bully the government into letting the US use UK bases like Diego Garcia to pursue unilateral military action.

Keir Starmer needs to stand strong and give Parliament a vote on the use of UK bases by US forces.

Trump’s endless flip-flopping on the Chagos Islands shows why Starmer’s approach is doomed to fail.

Britain can’t rely on the US while Trump is in the White House. It’s time to strengthen our ties with allies we can depend on, starting with our neighbours in Europe.

I've been out campaigning in Sussex where the local elections are back on!

Come join us to help defeat the Conservatives, stop Reform and wipe the smile of Nigel Farage's face in May.

As Lent begins, I want to send my best wishes to all Christians here in the UK and around the world.

I hope this will be a period to pause, pray and reflect on Christ’s sacrifice over the next forty days.

Ramadan Mubarak to Muslim communities in Britain and around the world.

My thoughts are with all those observing under the shadow of conflict or hardship.

May this holy month be a time of reflection, compassion and charity.

Out campaigning in beautiful Sussex where local elections ARE now going ahead despite the local Conservatives trying to cancel them.

Like in so many areas of the country, the Tories and Labour are finished and it’s turning into a fight between the Lib Dems and Reform.

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS.

They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.

The Conservatives were running scared of the Lib Dems so they tried to cancel the Sussex local elections.

There's nowhere left to run.

Liberal Democrats have fought tooth and nail to stop this stitch-up and the Government has been forced into a humiliating U-turn.

Labour are terrified of Reform. We are the only party willing to stand up to Farage and beat him, as we do week after week in council by-elections.

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.

Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws.

Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money on suppressing civil liberties.

Degrading counter-terror powers is a genuine threat to national security.

Totally wrong. Totally out of step with British values. He should apologise now.
