This is a shameful decision. If @WMPolice & Birmingham council can't guarantee safety for this 1 match then the city's ability to host forthcoming major international events should be reviewed. https://t.co/m0TRPF3Yyt

Police say the decision is based partly on what happened in Amsterdam last year, when Israeli fans attending a match against Ajax were targets of antisemitic attacks.

This is a national disgrace. How have things come to this? Starmer pledged that Jews are welcome and safe in Britain. That he stands shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community and will use the full force of his government to prove it. Will he back those words with action
Aston Villa can confirm the club has been informed that no away fans may attend the UEFA Europa League match with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Hansard’s official record has been kind to the PM. His use of she/ her to address me throughout his answer yesterday has been corrected to ‘hon. Lady’….
Today I launched my Small Business Survey to enable local SMEs to share their views and concerns ahead of the Budget. Perhaps I should ask them how many got to feed into the Labour Small Business Strategy as it never comes up when I meet them… #SMEs #hospitality #retail

What is exquisite about the furore over the controversial decision by the DPP Stephen Parkinson to can the China spy case is that - shortly before being appointed DPP by the Tories - Parkinson described a predecessor as “an average DPP”, who was “over reliant on advice given by

Stark stats here. Not a good look for prospect of Great British Railway..,
South Western Railway was nationalised by Labour in May. Since then: 🫷Cancelations are UP 50% 🫷Delays are UP 29% 🫷Trains 30-60 mins late more than DOUBLED I understand why the unions want nationalisation, but how is it helping passengers or the taxpayer?

Unemployment up, again. Vacancies down, again. Young people hit hardest, again. Labour hiked taxes on jobs and destroyed business confidence. This is the result. Businesses create growth. Only @Conservatives have a plan for the economy built on work not welfare.

All I can tell you is when I was fighting (& no one wanted to help) to get fair sport back for our girls this woman took all my calls no matter where she was in the world & as trade sec she was never home. She was stopped from doing all she wanted, whilst in government, but she
The Conservative Party has listened and changed. We’re back fighting on the side of the British people again.

Waiting for the train back to London. That was the best party conference leader’s speech since David Cameron’s time. @KemiBadenoch reset Conservative principles and energised the audience with some headline making new policies. Brilliant announcement on stamp duty.

It was a privilege to rep @SEAresource at #CPC25 tonight and speak alongside @SWDevonRebecca and @mimsdavies about the devastating harm domestic abusers cause - and how we need to come together inc across party lines to end gender-based violence, including economic abuse.
Speaking out our fringe event with @LBGplc 'Addressing Gender-Based Violence in a Digital Age' @mimsdavies, Shadow Minister for Women shared: I am not an advocate of the term domestic abuse - it is not strong enough. We have to talk about criminality in the home #CPC25

We need to stay ahead of the tech and of the scourge of pornographic media. We can't expect schools to fix it - it’s down to each and every one of us: shared @SWDevonRebecca MP at our fringe with @LBGplc on 'Addressing Gender-Based Violence in a Digital Age' #CPC25

Angela Rayner is finally gone. But it’s only because of Keir Starmer’s weakness that she wasn’t sacked three days ago. Britain deserves better.

"As Conservatives, we must always be in the business of planting trees." Recalling Margaret Thatcher's tree planting legacy, @SWDevonRebecca says we need firm market-based policies to unleash woodlands, rather than the talking shops and targets we are getting from this govt.
