This has been outstanding reporting by Lewis Goodall one of the best journalists in the business - lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/…

Today we’re delivering on our promise to give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote. Young people already contribute to society by working, paying taxes and serving in the military. It's only right they can have a say on the issues that affect them. #VotesAt16

I don't understand Reform objecting to 16/17 year old voters. Surely they would want their councillors to vote....

As Labour announces16/17 year olds across the UK will get the vote by the end of this Parliament, keeping Reform out of government could hinge on them.

As a high school teacher, I can honestly say I'd rather trust democracy to 16 year olds than spiteful, elderly Daily Mail readers every day of the week.

The Reform bots and trolls are out and going nuts at the proposal to finally lower the voting age to 16. They know young people are less likely to buy into Farage's bullshit and have no truck for the politics of division and hate

An interesting one here. Very much in the public interest for the injunction to be lifted if there is one. Since Lewis Goodall is on a roll, maybe he'll take an interest in Owen's peerage?

We get to see the return of the bendy bus with a different name in the meantime Manchester is looking at an underground rail network! SERIOUSLY WTF!

There are dozens of these male offenders in hard right cults across the country. They don’t want to protect your children, they want to abuse them.

Israel's official campaign of genocide continues in Gaza unchallenged by those countries who are guarantors of Israel. We are complicit.

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

That this is presented by the media as “policy” is why we are in this mess. These are not serious people. These are monkey tennis ideas, as divorced from the reality of criminal justice as you might expect from a company fronted by multi-millionaire simpletons.

Western Governments including the UK have allowed the collapse of the international rules based order & tacitly accepted Israel’s genocide of the Palestinan people. Now the U.K. - with 19 countries & an EU rep - has issued ‘a strongly worded statement’. They have no shame.

NEW: Landmark decision on UK's failure to investigate Russian interference to be handed down tomorrow. A five-year legal battle in UK and European courts comes to a head: will we finally - learn the truth about the Kremlin & the Brexit vote?

Great, tenacious work by Carole and her legal team, parliamentarians and we all need this to succeed. Everything we see play out now is as a result of Brexit and the 2016 vote which stole our democracy and divided our nation.

The judgement in Bradshaw & Others v United Kingdom is being handed down at 9am BST today. Three MPs - Labour’s Ben Bradshaw, the Green’s Caroline Lucas & SNP’s Alyn Smith - who challenged the government on its failure to ensure we have free & fair elections.

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

🚨| BREAKING: BrewDog is closing 10 bars across the UK, with staff reportedly given "three days' notice". Unite Hospitality: "In what universe is 3 DAYS a morally (or legally) acceptable notice period for a proper redundancy consultation for the workers impacted?!"

£190,000 of council taxpayer's money on political assistants. People of Warwickshire - enjoy your new leader. Nigel Farage MP Reform UK
