A party whose MPs are nearly all privately educated, funded by crypto billionaires, designed to make rich men more wealthy. Seeking the support of working people...? thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

More than a decade of austerity, stagnant wages and rising inequality left its mark across Sheffield. Post Offices disappeared, banks closed and independent businesses struggled. Empty shops became a familiar part of neighbourhood life ✍️ @nabeelamowlana nowthenmagazine.com/articles…

The Hillsborough Law has taken another important step forward, after several delays. Though it is long overdue, we are here to get it right. It has been a tireless campaign, families and campaigners have spent decades fighting for justice. The law will help ensure public authorities cannot evade responsibility when they fail the people they serve. I pay tribute to everyone who has brought us to this moment and look forward to supporting the Bill as it continues its passage through Parliament. A tragedy such as the Hillsborough Disaster and the ensuing fallout must never be allowed to happen again.

Farage is a Charleton who will destroy our democracy for 99p Trumpism and extreme private enterprise. The best way to defeat that evil populism is to embarrass him out the door, not take him seriously which legitimises his politics @JustineGreening

I'm urging the Government to end UK fur trade. Animal welfare is one of the top issues my constituents contact me about, so I was pleased to add my name to this letter, led by Ruth Jones, and I will support this work as support continues to grow.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government theguardian.com/politics/202…

Shelly Kittleson is a penniless freelance journalist. She was snatched off the street in Baghdad this week. Kidnapping her is totally pointless, in addition to being criminal and cowardly. xitter.cf/alexplitsas/status/204…

Completely disagree. As long as we rely on oil and gas, we remain exposed to global conflicts and price shocks. Wars and geopolitical tensions don’t just happen “over there”, they hit our energy bills, our economy, and our security at home. True energy security comes from investing in renewables that are domestic and not dictated by global conflict!
Excellent news on Rosebank and Jackdaw. Let's crack on. thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

Trust is built in drops and lost in buckets. It’s the small things, done consistently over time, that build the foundation of a strong team. Show up. Do the work. Tell the truth.

The UK is deeply concerned by the significant escalation in tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan. We urge both sides to take immediate steps toward de‑escalation, avoid further harm to civilians, and re‑engage in mediated dialogue.

It is time we had the bravery to pursue a new mode of protection and a new model of policing – local forces protecting their communities and national policing that protects us all.
