"We are grasping the nettle of welfare reform, not for the sake of it but to save it" - Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall set out the case for change in her speech to IPPR earlier today

“She speaks so badly. One often concludes it would be better if she didn’t speak at all."

I condemn the appalling killing last night of two Israeli Embassy officials in Washington, D.C. Nothing can justify such a horrific act. I reiterate my consistent condemnation of attacks against diplomatic officials. I call for the perpetrator to be brought to justice. I

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working

'This is absolutely vital for our defence and intelligence, and therefore the security of the British people.' Sir Keir Starmer makes a statement on the Chagos deal.

BREAKING: Prime Minister Keir Starmer has confirmed he has signed a deal handing control of the Chagos Islands over to Mauritius. This includes the vital Diego Garcia military base, which will be leased back from the Mauritian government

Last night’s horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staff members was an act of antisemitic terrror, tragic and senseless. I continue to pray for the victims’ loved ones. This evil has no place in our world. Rest assured, justice will be served.

I've signed a deal to secure the joint UK-US base on Diego Garcia. This base is vital for the safety and security of the British people and today’s agreement is the only way to protect our country for many years to come. I will always act in our country’s national interest.

🧵 Today, Keir Starmer, David Lammy and Labour have signed away British sovereignty of the Chagos Islands and billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money. They did not need to do this, but they put the whims of their left-wing lawyer and activist friends above our national interests

*Legally illiterate*: ICJ made an opinion not a ruling or decision. *Historically illiterate*: Chagos never belonged to Mauritius. *Emotionally illiterate*: Lammy failed to engage meaningfully with Chagossians, but suddenly cares about their welfare.

I think the fact Keir Starmer’s good friend is the chief legal advisor for Mauritius needs to be spoken about a lot more. The deal makes a lot more sense if you look at it through that lens.

“I’ve no doubt at all that this deal is going to make Britain safer, more secure and… more prosperous” Labour’s Nick Thomas-Symonds says the new UK-EU trade deal is in the “national interest,” and a “real win for Britain”, and calls on other parties to support it #bbcqt
