Governments "have to be fair" to pensioners but there is a case for people on the top rate of income tax to be excluded from winter fuel payments, Gordon Brown has said news.sky.com/story/gordon...

The recent UK-EU Summit brought significant progress on youth opportunities, defence cooperation, and easing food trade, marking positive steps our movement will build on for a stronger European future.

This week’s UK-EU summit in London was a long-overdue and hopeful step toward rebuilding a constructive, cooperative relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. Read our take on it all:

2.9m emergency food parcels provided by food banks to Britons facing hunger. 1.8m to families with children. Shameful statistics. Real wage/benefit cut, profiteering takes toll. 16m live in poverty. 1% have more wealth than 70% of population combined. Must redistribute.

Yesterdays EU/UK closer economic alignment will be good news for the UK..

Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us… And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him. What a monumental piece of shit.

The adults are finally in the room...

Breakthrough in UK-EU Brexit reset talks before summit

Reducing my right to queue at airports is just wrong..I want my sovereignty to queue..Outrageous.

The England womens cricket team have had some criticism on the standard of the fitness of the players..Well I've just witnessed a player training really hard in the gym..Looked really fit and strong..💪🏻

Brilliant! The Labour government has issued over £630m to schools, hospitals, and other public buildings for measures including heat pumps, solar panels, insulation and double glazing. It is estimated measures like this will save the public sector around £650m a year over the next 12 years. 1/3

An improved trade deal with the European Union would hand UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves £10 billion in the Autumn Budget and limit the need for further tax increases, according to economists Sounds like a plan www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

UK economy defies gloomy warnings to grow 0.7% in first quarter of year

They never had a plan. They just lied and lied and lied. Both Brexit and Immigration are the most dishonest and ruinous policies going. A Tory/Farage conspiracy of deceit that Labour seems to want to protect rather than challenge. As for Chris Philp - get in the bin. news.sky.com/story/leaked...

The way to defeat Reform and Farage is to build a sustainable economy todays ONS figs will disrupt Reform..

Keir Starmer is set to agree a youth mobility scheme in alignment with the European Union despite his controversial clampdown on migration, a senior government source has confirmed.

I voted for Starmer and voted Labour all my life..I'm done his latest speech on immigration ' strangers in our country' is truly abhorrent..

Love spring..

Some good news! 🇪🇺🇪🇺 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

They both keep their money in Tax Havens.

Can't make VP tomorrow hope it goes well..Up the Vale..

Hahaha.. Just seen a clip of Farage pretending to be Trump and telling council staff if they work on climate change or DEI initiatives, then they need to look for new jobs. What an utter tosser. Tough, thankless administrative work awaits his motley crew of inexperienced halfwits. It’ll be carnage.

Better future Eh..

The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

So refreshing to see pacey wingers running with the ball,dribbling and go past defenders on the outside..PSG well done..

Long Tailed Tit nest found today..Beautiful structure.

Have you paused to listen? Chiffchaffs calling, Blackbirds in full song, and the first Swallows on the wing. Which spring sound always makes you smile? 🎵 #ThoughtfulThursday
