While the previous Government failed on housing, Coin Street proved there's a better way: co-operative housing owned by the people who call it home. Now, we're backing Andrew Pakes' Bill to recognise co-op housing in law and break down the barriers holding communities back.

What an excellent speech by Gareth Southgate how heartening to know there are such good people in an increasing fractious world.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

What impressed me most about Zelenskyy’s performance last night was that he took on the concerted assault by Trump and Vance and countered it in a sovereign fashion in a language he barely spoke 3 years ago. Without translation.

“It can’t happen here,” they say. But I’m not so sure. We know Elon Musk has developed a keen interest in British politics and might gladly fund Nigel Farage/Richard Tice/Tommy Robinson to have a go at wreaking the same kind of chaos, writes @arusbridger. www.prospectmagazine...

Macron and Starmer to lead Europe’s Trump charm offensive when they travel to US – Europe live

The Ukraine opposition MP on #c4news is inspiring. We must back Zelenskyy and Ukraine, any other course of action is unthinkable.

Poor coverage of Gaza at the BBC: failure of journalism A BBC report on the ceasefire in Gaza fails to fact check Israeli violations, while obscuring key context – this isn’t journalism, it’s neglect.

That new land use policy that the Tories call ‘national suicide’? It’s urgent, essential – and their idea | Henry Dimbleby

The government should draw up plans for Tesla tariffs to hit Musk where it hurts, if Trump follows through with his threats to the UK steel industry. Trump and Musk can't be allowed to bully the UK while the Conservatives and Nigel Farage cheer them on from the sidelines.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera. If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

Neil Kinnock, a patron of @europeanmovement.co.uk says that Starmer needs to end his “cycle of hesitation” on European collaboration.

This is serious. New polling shows Reform UK surging—they could win 67 seats and become one of the biggest parties in Parliament. They’re building a ruthless campaign machine to push their far-right agenda. We need to fight back. Will you join me? www.stop-reform.org @hopenothate.org.uk

Absolutely spot on from Rory Stewart

"There’s a strong case for reintroducing lynx to Britain. Without large predators, deer populations have exploded, compounded by the breeding of red deer for shooting, as well as the introduction of non-native fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer."

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

WOW! You've got to watch all of this. A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.

The Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal hangs by a thread. This is what must happen for peace to last | Simon Tisdall

Wishing everyone everywhere peace and inspiration. Come what may, let us stand strong for all that is right and just. Let us defend those who are being mistreated, and live with kindness and respect as Martin Luther King hoped we would . Our task is clear. ❤️
