Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love. Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light. https://t.co/osj0bh33QI

The PM must tell Trump in no uncertain terms: if he goes ahead with these outrageous tariffs and keeps bullying Greenland, there’ll be no state visit to the US in April. The UK must not be a doormat for an extortionist, or reward Trump’s behaviour with the pageantry he craves.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Trump is targeting us for standing with our allies, and the best you can do is ‘we’ll agree to disagree’? Pathetic. You can always count on Farage to bootlick for Trump rather than stand up for Britain.
We don’t always agree with the US government and in this case we certainly don’t. These tariffs will hurt us. If Greenland is vulnerable to malign influences, then have another look at Diego Garcia.

Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing. Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

Starmer needs to finally stand up to Trump. He should visit Greenland and show the world that Britain stands with NATO and stands with our allies when it matters.

Keir Starmer failed to answer my question at PMQs, so today I’ve written to his minister to demand action. She should strip South East Water of their licence immediately. Thousands of people are still without water. The Government has no time to lose.

It’s good that Elon Musk has backed down in the face of consequences. But he must still be held to account for what he is: a purveyor of child pornography.

We need to sanction the awful regime in Iran and freeze Iranian assets in London. But the world would take Donald Trump's concerns over the brutal murder of protesters in Iran more seriously if his government stopped murdering protesters in Minnesota.

Imagine waiting 31 hours in A&E for a hospital bed, stuck on a plastic chair. That’s what Sandra faced at 71 with bladder cancer. And she's not alone, hundreds of thousands routinely wait 12+ hours for a bed. So why isn't Keir Starmer backing our plan to end 12 hour waits?

Looks like I picked a good day to film on a helipad. But it’s always a good day to support London Air Ambulance Charity and their lifesaving work ️🚁 ☔

The National Crime Agency should launch a criminal investigation into Elon Musk and X. We cannot stand by and wait for him to do the right thing while people are being abused and exploited.

People were rightly furious with the Conservative Party for plunging the NHS into this crisis. Now they are fed up with Labour for letting things get worse on their watch. We must tackle the crisis in A&E.

Farage backed Boris Johnson's disastrous Brexit deal and Liz Truss's catastrophic mini-budget. No wonder he’s welcoming someone who enthusiastically supported both.

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue." It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.
"Greenland... is a second order issue" Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says there are more important issues in global politics than Donald Trump's attempts to acquire Greenland, such as the protests in Iran #BBCLauraK

The UK should offer to send troops to Greenland as part of a joint NATO operation under Danish and UK command. If Trump is serious about security, he'd agree to participate and drop his outrageous threats. Tearing the NATO alliance apart would only play into the hands of Putin.

It’s time we started taking Trump’s threats seriously. God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.

Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax” and a “con job”. But at the same time the US position is that they need Greenland because the melting Arctic ice is creating a security risk. At this point, I think it’s pretty clear who the real con artist is.

We could well be at the beginning of a Berlin Wall moment for brave protesters in Iran. The Foreign Secretary must come to parliament on Monday and explain what the international community is going to do to assist the peaceful protesters.
