I can accept that #Labour need to make changes with regard to immigration & overseas aid but I think their Comms leave a lot to be desired.

Oh the irony of proclaiming the peace, then hailing a new arms deal. Clearly, nothing stands in the way of making money!

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

Well done @itvnews.bsky.social on pointing out the soaring rise in immigration “since we completed Brexit” - a key factor. This should be pointed out to Farage (who championed Brexit) in every interview

If I were allowed to vote in Guernsey elections (& it is a sore point that UK expats living in Gsy & overseas are allowed to vote in UK elections) Yvonne would get my vote.

#Brexit as the solution to controlling borders & immigration was a lie & completely unnecessary. Most immigration to UK was/is non EU & always within control of govt.

For no reason at all, I feel obliged to point out that Liberation Day is the national hoiday of the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, where this year on the 9th of May we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the ending of the islands' occupation by the Nazis. #jersey #channelislands

“This is the nature of nationalist populism, whether it wears a red cap in Michigan or a turquoise rosette in Runcorn. It is expert at turning grievance, division+nostalgia into votes. But when it comes to governing, it will always fail. It offers an outlet for complaint – +has no answers at all.”

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

If #Starmer ‘s Labour have a plan for change I want to see them carry it out, not waste the next 4 years appeasing & worrying about right wing populists & the next election. Go for it but sell it to us more convincingly!

100% agree - Andy Burnham, Manchester Mayor “Let me say something about this situation. The biggest rupture in all of that [Nigel Farage and Reform gaining votes] – is Brexit. I think partly, what Labour now needs to do, is talk more about Brexit, and how it has damaged this country’s prospects”

Farage and Reform whip up people’s prejudices, then offer to get rid of what they hate.Their power feeds off ignorance and hatred. They make people angrier about the stuff they fear, then promise to fix it. Of course they won’t. But they know who to tell you to blame when they fail. (Letters, Times)
