Still astonished by these comments from Davey. Lib Dem activists across urban England will have fought really hard as local election candidates. Their leader basically doesn't believe in their fight. What dreadful leadership.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

.@dcsandbrook understands that for many Trump voters, it’s all about the economy - they don’t watch the news 24/7

Over a dozen former Trump aides came out Friday in support of John Kelly’s statement that the former president is a fascist. 👉 politi.co/40kgh8O (📷 Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty Images)

Fucking hell. The paper that broke Watergate reduced to this quivering wreck
There are reports that The Washington Post may decline to endorse anyone for president. It would be first time that’s happened since 1988. There’s speculation in newsroom that owner Jeff Bezos may want to avoid risk of endangering Amazon’s government contracts if Trump wins.

"I saw my mother's reaction when she died and the pain left her face." Sir Ed Davey has recalled the "pain" of looking after his terminally ill mother when he was just a child as he called for more investment into palliative care. 🔗 Read more trib.al/kvQks56

Far right Israeli Ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir are fuelling extremism and inciting violence against Palestinians, in the West Bank and in Gaza. I called on the last government to sanction them, but they refused. At #PMQs today, I urged the PM to act and sanction them now.

Many apologists for Manchester's failure to build affordable housing have claimed that any supply increase helps, but the council's analysis is that because the new builds skew premium, building more flats is driving up prices even more! I asked about how to tackle this yesterday

Worth noting that while Suella Braverman labelled protests calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East ‘hate marches’, she has said absolutely nothing about violent racist mobs attacking people, damaging mosques, injuring police officers and setting fire to vehicles and shops

Today's march was peaceful and showed the best of the trans community here in Manchester, an amazing resilience given the attacks we face. The far right protests have been destructive and aimless. I'm proud to be trans and liberal, and to have helped organise today's event.
What a wonderful @TransPrideMcr 🏳️‍⚧️

Early this morning I joined other Councillors in a meeting with @gmpolice about the incident and footage from Manchester Airport. The clear feeling from every political party represented on the Council was that the police had failed in their communications and procedures. 🧵 – at Manchester, England

Thrilled that our campaign was discussed during @AngelaRayner's visit to @MustardTreeMCR - Mustard Tree are one of our founding members and we are so grateful they are involved.
I was pleased to join this visit today where the Social Homes for Manchester campaign that I've backed was discussed, with a commitment for more social housing.

If Labour's main aim was truly about protecting children this new government would be scrapping the two child benefit cap - not banning medication for trans kids.
