Unfashionable to say this but in my view, the EU Youth Mobility Scheme which enables young people to work in different countries for a couple of years is a good thing. It assists business and gives young people great opportunities. It's sad that certain politicians won't see this

I was sorry to hear of the recent death of David Bishop, one of my predecessors as a councillor in Northwood Hills ward, Hillingdon. David was a real stalwart in the local community and was held in affection by many residents. Condolences to his family and friends.

I’m going to block anyone I see - and there’s already a lot of this vile crap flying around - mocking, celebrating, or playing partisan politics with Joe Biden’s health news. The man has served his country for 50yrs and is fighting for his life. Show some bloody respect.

In dangerous and uncertain times, the UK needs a close and pragmatic relationship with its neighbours in the EU especially on security and trade. I welcome this reset.

Some Conservatives should consider listening to one of their own who has been at the very top of the business world rather than echoing the kneejerk shouts of surrender x.com/TimesRadio/sta…

The use of the word "surrender" in relation to Brexit by senior politicians who should know better was crass at the best of times, but now there's an actual war raging in Europe it feels even more jarring and infantile.

Being in fourth place very dangerous for the Conservatives. Their support could spiral downwards as many of their voters who like/don't mind Farage switch to Reform and those that can't stand him go to Lib Dems

Whether it's Apple, Harvard or Wall Street, there's one unifying aspect of Trump's targets - envy. He can't cope with others being more successful than him. One of the biggest changes over the past 10yrs is that politics of envy is now more the preserve of the Right than the Left

No, the European Union (or the EEC as it was then) was formed in the aftermath of WW2 for the primary purpose of preventing another catastrophic war in Europe.

Can see him wanting to do this but struggle to see how he gets back into Parliament through a by-election in the current climate. If it's in an affluent Southern seat, the Lib Dems will be favourites & if it was in a Red Wall type seat, Reform will win huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/can-bori…

Please don’t share the video of what is obviously a very distressing and horrific scene in Liverpool city centre. And please let the police do their job without hindrance. The best place to be tonight is with your families not doomscrolling on social media.

If the chance to see the Liverpool video comes up, don’t watch it. To satisfy your interest: a car drives deliberately through a large crowd, injuring many. I hope against hope there are no fatalities.

The Police have rightly asked people not to share distressing footage of the horrifying incident in Liverpool online. Please respect that. Deepest sympathy and prayers to all impacted.

If you are trying to make a political point against the Government or the Police in the light of this horrendous incident in Liverpool as some senior politicians and journalists are doing then you really to take a long hard look at yourself. Pathetic individuals

This is a massive opportunity for the UK's World-leading university sector to benefit from the inevitable brain drain away from the US which will result from this. The UK Government should be enabling the brightest to study, research & lecture in Britain bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is about the existential crisis threatening the Liberals in Australia but virtually every word also applies to Conservatives Obsession with culture wars, deliberate alienation of traditional middle class voters, learning wrong lessons from referenda youtube.com/watch?v=C8tUaM…

If one word summed up the UK in 2025 it would be insecurity. This word is manifested in many forms - Economic insecurity, Employment insecurity, Housing insecurity & Geopolitical insecurity. Battle is between those wishing to reassure & those who claim we need to start again.
