This is the right decision. Postponing elections should only happen in extreme conditions & with cross party support. https://t.co/UMfEQ1s8bB

Hard though it is to admit it- we should accept that Liz Truss has proved us wrong. After being the most unsuccessful Prime Minister in the history of our country many of us thought it was impossible she could humiliate herself any further. We were wrong.

This is the most vile anti-semitism possible- terro attack planning that included reconnaissance of Jewish nurseries. We need to redouble our efforts to tackle extremism wherever we find it. https://t.co/ktPOsRzcEs

Proud to be at the launch of this, and if you needed any convincing of why it’s required - the comments section is all the evidence needed.

The PM will give a speech today on community & cohesion. It will be overshadowed of course- but it’s a strong narrative that connects disconnection with division. Of course the key question will be what action follows- but the PMs story of Britain matters too. And it’s hopeful

Greens will have to get better than this if they want to be taken seriously on defence. Ten years ago this wouldn’t have mattered so much, but now it really does and it’s a huge strategic weakness for them.

The original online headline on my Sunday Times interview last week was incorrect and attributed words to me that I did not say. The paper has now corrected this and added the clarification below. I’m grateful that the record has been set straight.

This is the madness of Trump. Sanction your allies, threaten to invade your allies & then be surprised when they start to hedge their interests with other powers. Trump is making the western alliance weaker & undermining American power. And the republican party are letting him.

The bravery of Ilhan Omar in the face of violence is breathtaking. But facing violence shouldn’t be a requirement for public life. The rhetoric used against her by the President & others makes these attacks more likely & it needs to stop now. https://t.co/yKGXqRd9WF

Trump’s disrespect for the sacrifices of our armed forces sticks in the throat. But given the way he acts - it is no surprise. UK politicians who supported him deserve to be judged harshly for their willingness to back someone who has such contempt for our country.

Among the 20,000 plus unarmed protestors killed by the Iranian Regime these are a few of the faces of the Iranian athletes, including teenagers, murdered for demanding freedom. Time to stand with the people of Iran.

The morning after the day before. 3 things: 1) Keep calm & carry on was the right approach. Starmer deserves credit. 2) A lot of the damage has been done - the western alliance will never be the same again. 3) Those who have backed Trump did a huge disservice to our country

But the real problem with Trump’s second term is that even when he gets it right, he gets it wrong.  Americans wanted that southern border closed to illegals. But they never asked for federal agents to scour their cities looking for migrants who slipped in years ago and have

Worth remembering that it’s not America who is making these decisions. It’s one man & a bunch of spineless apologists. The American people think he is doing an awful job too. We can rebuild our alliance one day.

It’s worth looking at the ‘patriots’ who aren’t tweeting about Trump attacking our country with tariffs. It’s almost like they might have financial reasons for staying quiet…

This is simple & very clear from Kemi. There is lots wrong with our politics, but the ability to unite when needed shows we still have a lot going for us. We may need to summon this spirit of unity in the face of external aggression more often from here.

A terrible idea. President Trump is completely wrong to announce tariffs on the UK over Greenland. People in both UK and US will face higher costs. These tariffs will be yet another burden for businesses across our country. The sovereignty of Greenland should only be decided by
