This 👇🏽 is point I made on @BBCPolitics #PoliticsLive. Sovereignty matters. It’s the basis of our international order. How many more reminders do we need that to defend it, hard power matters? For decades, we neglected that. We must not any longer.

"We need to focus on the main game... rebuilding our relationship with hard power." Former MI6 boss Sir Alex Younger says there is no 'obvious benefit in the UK taking a forward position' after the US military action in Venezuela.

@greenprogressve @ZackPolanski @joshsimonsmp @lfg_uk People on the doorstep are talking about their energy bills, and the nuclear recommendations are an important step to bringing down energy bills. So yes, it’s important that politicians commit to them.

I love lefties who love their country. I’m married to one. I go for what people believe, not who they are. It’s ideas that change the world. So, @ZackPolanski do you support ALL recommendations from the Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce? @lfg_uk

Yet another crap video from another Labour MP (@joshsimonsmp) attacking me and "lefties." Showing us exactly who they are. They serve only power & weath. 2026 - the year of people power. https://t.co/0qbagSwgNX

Case in point: https://t.co/ImUxZFIKyv? This will happen more and more. It even came up in a coffee morning in my constituency. We must never take for granted the informational basis of a free society.

The answer isn’t “AI regulation”. AI is a tool. What matters is what we do with it. We need to attend to the flow of ideas and information in democracy. (And happiness. And childhood). AI matters a LOT for those. For AI and informational war, 👆🏼👆🏼 speech is worth reading.

‘Algorithms as powerful as states.’ I wrote a book about these algorithms. As we control govt, we must control algos that shape our kids and our society. I came into politics partly to put people in control of algorithms, not the other way round. https://t.co/2BvRcTOiEs

I’ve wrestled with this problem in my patch for a year now. Primary school children couldn’t go to school as toxic waste dump on fire. It’s shocking state failure. Govt is working at pace to fix and I’ll do everything I can to support. https://t.co/7aKm1dr5l3

I posted this earlier today, before the horrific attack in Bondi. The timing says something about the world we now live in. The second Jewish holiday we've seen violent murder. On this, first day of Chanukah, my thoughts and love is with the community in Bondi and Australia.

I've thought a lot about what scores of people said @Nigel_Farage whispered in their ear: gas chambers, hissing. Who even thinks to say those things to Jewish people? The thing you cannot explain: why won’t you apologise to them?

You seem to apply exceptional circumstances to middle class areas in Oxford @EnvAgency but not working class towns in Wigan. When primary school kids are inhaling flames from a dump that's on fire, declared as a major incident, why does that not count as an exceptional

For young people and families things are tough - @patmcfaddenmp is right. Today's announcement is vital - a BIG focus on skills, vocational education, and employment. On top of the biggest house building and rental reform agenda in decades. There's always more to do. But this
