During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry? How cruel is that?

One of the most extraordinary things in this country is how UKIP just rebranded and everybody now calls Reform a "new" party. Same people. Same leadership. Same supporters.

Entirely right for Keir Starmer to call out Sarah Pochin MP’s blatantly racist comments. The fact that Nigel Farage MP hasn’t removed her whip, nor accepted the racist core of her comments, tells us all we need to know about him and his failure to lead. theguardian.com/politics/live/…

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

A rising tide of racism, where ‘70s and ‘80s-style racism has apparently become permissible again in this country, is impacting on NHS staff. The right to free NHS healthcare does not come with the freedom to abuse staff. Don’t like it? Go elsewhere. theguardian.com/society/2025/n…

The real weakness of the BBC, as exemplified by recent events, is its failure to stand up to ludicrous claims from the right that it is somehow hugely biased to the left. Listening to Telegraph journalists bleat about a biased BBC, or Reform MPs enjoying more platforming than any

Removing the Tories’ two child benefit cap is both morally and economically the right thing to do. Reeves is right to call out it’s damage to lives and society, and to signal its demise. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/n…

London is much, much safer than comparable US cities. Not by accident but hard work by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan London's Violence Reduction Unit Metropolitan Police and across many agencies as well as a good legal system. Still, every single incident is a tragedy - we must never rest until the numbers come down further.

When Sadiq Khan was first elected, experts warned it would take 193 years for London’s air to meet legal limits. 9 years later, thanks to our transformative policies, we’ve done it. Great to discuss this earlier on Politics London ✊🏽✊🏾

Cleaner air, better transport, vibrant culture, lower crime - the facts speak for themselves. London’s story is one of resilience, ambition and optimism - not the decline some would have you believe ⬇️

Europe has always supported efforts for a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine. But for any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board. In this war, there is one aggressor and one victim. So far, we haven't heard of any concessions from Russia's side.
