When Rachel Reeves became Chancellor, she discovered the true scale of the damage left behind by the Tories. That’s why she is focused on fixing the foundations of our economy to make working people better off.

Wishing Andy a happy retirement. Andy’s transformational leadership of London Fire over the past 5 years means the Brigade is better prepared to keep Londoners safe. Andy took culture change of the brigade head on & never stopped striving for better. Thank you, Andy.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico by pointing to a 17th century map of greater Mexico and suggesting a new name for the US. “We are going to call it América Mexicana. It sounds pretty, no?” Trump is a global laughingstock. 🤣

There are more than a million British people with Pakistani heritage in the UK. For the Shadow Home Secretary to suggest they have an "alien" and "medieval" culture and to smear them by association with the crimes of a tiny minority, is the politics of the far-right gutter.

Radical change needed. Time to drop Kohli, Jadeja and Sharma. Their time is up. Time to sack the coach. Time to look beyond Siraj and backup to Bumrah. Time to pick frontline spinners again.
