#Labour & #Tory house building plans won't get people homes. Those who haven't got homes haven't got them because they can't afford them. Unless Gov is planning millions of council houses that even employed, can get. You're not bringing down house prices.#PoliticsLive #pmqs

It's funny while #Iseral spokesperson claims #Hamas is a jihadi deathcult & Iseral is justified to blockade #GAZA & bomb hospitals. While all this is going on #Trump is sitting down with Ahmed al-Sharaa Syria's leader, a man who was Al-Qaeda & fought in Iraq against USA

Serious question: Where does #KeirStarmer, #KemiBadenoch or #Farage think #Palestinians. #Iseral eventually expels from #GAZA will end up? Only thing in Britain's national interest is peace & 2 state solution. American & Iseral policy is directly opposed to that.

#Trump deal in #SaudiArabia is basically #MBS & Trump signing death warrant for any #Palestinian still alive in #GAZA. If I were a Palestinian in #WestBank, you might as well start applying for asylum in West. Once GAZA is cleared, WestBank is next.

Perception of immigration needs to be changed. If I was in charge & cynical type. I would introduce ID cards. As a physical representation of Gov action on immigration & daily reminder Gov taking hardliner on immigration.Then I'd only talk about doctors,engineers & professors as immigrants. #r4today

As we've seen from #Trump land & #MAGA, people crying on social media. They wanted those other migrants deported but not the workers/colleague my business needs or my friend's or family members . I suspect they don't really know what they want.

Perception is reality. If PM/Ministers uses language saying something is too high or out of control, then no matter number, it will always be too much & your efforts will always be seen as a failure. #Labour needs to change the language if they want credit for falling immigration numbers. #r4today

Look, let's be honest, #IndiaPakistanTensions been on boil for years. Since #USA has pulled out of #Afghanistan & no longer cares about #Pakistan & wants to be best friends with #India. Pakistan new best friend is #China & between them, they aren't giving up Kashmir. #r4today

Funny #KemiBadenoch has already rubbished UK/USA #TradeDeal . Is she rubbishing UK/USA deal that #KeirStarmer claims he's done? Or is she rubbishing the trade deal #Trump claims he has done? Because both #Starmer & #Trump are describing different deals.

When is a #USA\#UK comprehensive #TradeDeal not a comprehensive trade deal? When #Trump & #KeirStarmer announces a Trade Deal. You have to take your hat off to #Starmer he has delivered a big cut in USA tariffs on UK without really giving Trump anything.

Of course with #USA/#UK #TradeDeal the devil will be in the detail. As to if the deal is good or bad or even worth the paper it's written on. Let's remember #Trump has ripped up Trade Deal he negotiated with with Mexico & Canada. He also ripped up deal with Japan.

Seriously, I've often resisted the lazy stereotype. All Americans are stupid, but come on, if #Trump is The President what does that tell you?
