Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty.

The Tories and Reform UK voted against.

Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for US-Israeli attacks, threatening the flow of about one-fifth of global oil supply. Attacks on regional energy facilities have further threatened supplies.

As a result, companies are invoking force majeure right now, but what is it?

How lessons from Iraq are shaping Starmer’s Iran response Operation Epic Fury is a US military operation. It will not be possible for the UK to exert any significant influence in planning.

This is superlative.

Ah my pug Gizmo lived for 14 wonderful years and my current Frankie is 7 and full of good health. But agree with the general breeding issues.

Lewis pinned the Philpster down on this on his show this morning. What an idiotic answer he gave.

Oh no! Most exquisite pain ever! Will never forget my GP husband doing surgery with his toe throbbing under the desk unbeknown to the patients!

Had to block a very triggered angry person last evening for saying please read and educate yourself on the Chilcot inquiry and its checklist for war operations. The names he called me were abusive. Truth is out there!

Educate yourself on Chilcot and then decide with legal insight.

Have you heard of the Chilcot Checklist in the Good Operation document? I think you should educate yourself as to the approach the PM and govt have taken which is based in international law.

Real war and culture war. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog analyzing the Brexit imprint of domestic responses to the Iran crisis, the hypocrisy & sectarianism of Reform's response to the by-election and the questions it poses for Labour: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/real...

Our Armed Forces keep us safe at home and abroad.

Yet Kemi Badenoch says our brave RAF pilots are just "hanging around".

Disrespectful. Unserious. Kemi Badenoch.

Here is the PM talking to us after yesterday's COBRA meeting and before the press conference on the Middle East.

So good to have a sensible, intelligent, grown up PM during this crisis, after years of terrible PMs.

The thought of any other current party leader dealing with this really scares me.

Have you been in a dream all year? The PM has completely wiped the floor with her. She is a nutter.

Wow! Excellent speech from Rachel Reeves in her Spring Statement just now.

Worth listening to it all - only about 25 minutes.

I'll share what I can below.

Exactly what Labour has already achieved. You’re well behind.

There speaks a gentleman. Polite to the opposition and clear and concise in his reply. As the former, Director of Public Prosecutions, he was a top lawyer and uses his expertise in his reply, unlike the loony left and loony right, who howl at anything that doesn't fit their hateful minds.
