A brilliant showing by team GBR at home in Portsmouth. They absolutely dominated the first day of racing, secured their place in the final, and went on to push the Kiwis hard for the trophy. Proud of my city and my team today. Well done Portsmouth and team GBR.

The UK is long overdue to do the same. This is the easiest among a whole list of things we should be doing to support Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. The Prime Minister could do it by lunchtime if he so wished.

So traumatic was the experience of crashing the economy, some Conservatives have now totally forgotten when they were even in government in the first place.

Trump continues to be a terribly rude guest. How is it appropriate for the US President to insult one of his hosts as a 'terrible person' in front of the Prime Minister and TV cameras? Next month, Starmer rolls out our red carpet again...

Labour's position is that the UK will recognise Palestine, but only as a punishment for Israel. This is so strange. Why does Palestine only deserve state recognition if Palestinians are so cruelly mistreated?

Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago. We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.

This is the cruel reality of the UK's broken housing market which will be of no surprise to many renters. We urgently need more homes, yet planning permissions and completions are falling. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging immediate, unconditional recognition of a Palestinian state. Recognition is not a bargaining chip — it’s a necessary step towards a viable two-state solution

Conservative MPs jeered when I urged the Prime Minister to help end the starvation and suffering in Gaza. Sickening, but they won’t stop me raising this.

"To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come on over to America and see what Trump & MAGA are doing to destroy OUR freedom !" Farage, at last ! getting well and truly roasted 👏Rep. Jamie Raskin

Phase two of the Starmer government update: not good

Angela Rayner’s position was clearly untenable. She had to resign. But spare us the pearl clutching from the party responsible for years of sleaze.

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

Sickened to see the march in Central London today. I feel concerned for friends and loved ones in the city, and the stories I've heard from them today are awful. I take comfort in the fact it was much smaller than the far right had hoped for, England is not with them. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The evidence of genocide is stacking up. Our Government has a legal duty to prevent genocide - it is not clear that they have done enough.

If Palestinians are shut out of the place meant for peace, the UN, progress will be impossible. Keir Starmer must tell Donald Trump to reverse the decision to bar Palestinian diplomats or forfeit US status as UN host.

Ed Davey becomes the first leader of a major political party to recognise there is a genocide going on in Gaza. The government must use Trump's state visit to urge him to step in.
