This war will do nothing to help - and will very likely make things worse - when it comes to the biggest challenges we face at home.

Trump or his wealthy friends won’t pay the price. It will fall on service members and their families, on taxpayers, and on working Americans already stretched thin.

This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still greater danger.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Gorton and Denton by-election result:


GRN: 40.7% (+27.5)
REF: 28.7% (+14.7)
LAB: 25.4% (-25.3)
CON: 1.9% (-6.0)
LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1)


Green GAIN from Labour.

Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already.

It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win.

Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part.

Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.

Joylon, are you suggesting that the former President of the Oxford University Conservative Association, and former Chairman of the Young Conservatives, has a political bias ? 🤔

Successive interviews by Nick Robinson this morning perfectly sum up the BBC:

with Zack Polanski: sneering, aggressive, constantly interrupting.

with David Bull, Reform's Chairman: polite, nodding along, barely any interruptions.

Amazing. Will share the link when it's up so you can listen too.

Very proud to be a Lancastrian today! The pundits have had their bigoted scrips torn up and are scrabbling around trying, in vain, to think what to say. Grassroots triumph.

Billionaire halts mass eviction after London Centric investigation Exclusive: Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital hoped to replace hundreds of tenants with more lucrative temporary accommodation. That plan has been shelved – for now.

Yet another Billionaire demonstrates why they should all be taxed from existence.

Beware of a political party that is more focused on keeping people from voting than winning their vote.

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Farage accused of 'cheap stunt' after being 'denied entry' to Chagos Islands The Foreign Office website makes clear the restricted access of the British Indian Ocean Territory and clearly states 'you need a permit before you travel'

But it's not "a cheap stunt."

Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too.

It's expensive flying to the Maldives.

Where did he stay?
How long is he staying?

How much did it cost?
Who picked up the tab?

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.

Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.

He never returned to her that day.
