Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.

People in Whitehall are often jaw dropped when I tell them that over 60% of young people in Hastings and Rye leave school without the basic qualification (level 4+, like a C) in English and Maths. It’s time to focus on our coastal towns 👇

Every time you think it cannot get any more bizarre.......
THIS IS NOT NORMAL: Donald Trump just post a video inserting himself in last night’s Olympic victory and depicts him punching and beating Canadian hockey players. There is no planet where this is normal or presidential. Trump is an embarrassment to the world and he is very ill.

I think so many in politics in general utterly fail to grasp the reality that our arts is not just a 'nice to have' - it's serious for our economy, and it's serious for our soft power. Arts, the World Service, these great British exports worth more than the sum of their parts

Right-wing sitting MPs and leaders of @UKParliament parties, @Nigel_Farage and @KemiBadenoch, plus two former right-wing UK Prime Ministers, @trussliz and @BorisJohnson, have been lobbying against the interests of the UK and its Govt. Let that sink in. https://t.co/xM8eskro9k

12 months ago the NHS launched its first ever national breast screening campaign which I was honoured to support New figures now show nearly 200,000 MORE women attended their NHS mammogram last year, leading to thousands of additional early cancer diagnoses 👇
To all women invited for @NHS breast screening - the earlier breast cancer is detected, the greater the chance of survival. Please go. It might just help save your life

It seems the Greenlanders cannot be bought by your cheap and vulgar trinkets, Mr Trump.
No thanks!!!! We in Greenland 🇬🇱 are healthy and doing well, sustained by our own traditional foods — including seal blubber, which is rich in vitamins and nutrients that have kept our population strong for generations. Instead, you may want to focus on the internal challenges

Where are the journalists? This is a scandal of the highest order! The vilest of men conspire to be 'king makers' and there is not a peep from the media! WHY?
So emails now show Johnson's route to PM was planned by a team of Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein, and Nigel Farage who wanted to overthrow May. Assume media will be deeply scrutinising Farage’s role in this today?

Ignore the professional gloomsters and doomsters. - Borrowing ⬇️ (record surplus last month) - Inflation (and interest rates) ⬇️ - UK fastest growing European G7 economy - Retail sales up 4.5% over the year There’s lots more to do but Britain’s economy is on the mend.

Andrew’s arrest is a big story but so is the Bannon/Farage/Johnson plot to oust a sitting PM. @carolecadwalla called it five years ago. Now we know Epstein was funding it.
Steve Bannon has *finally*been indicted. BIG news in America. But let’s not forget Big Steve’s interference in our own democracy. (And how Facebook has facilitated him at every turn.) 1/ https://t.co/yBdfXbPYXv

Campaigning for Angeliki Stogia in Gorton and Denton. Politics goes through phases. This phase is of stark choices: here a choice between a Tommy Robinson-backed Reform candidate who thinks people born here aren't British, and a Labour candidate bringing communities together.

New emails confirm Boris Johnson's rise was engineered by a support team any leader would envy: Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein, and Nigel Farage. Bannon texted Epstein directly: "We are overthrowing May right now." Johnson called this a "conspiracy theory." The conspiracy theory
