More than 50 MPs and Peers have joined me in urging David Lammy to immediately meet with the lawyers of those on hunger strike.
The government needs to wake up, take responsibility, and show some humanity before it is too late.

The BBC and the sane half of the country, needs to tell Trump to go and fuck himself. He received two state visits (the only president), then he has the nerve to diss Mayor Khan and the capital? In fact ban him from ever entering the country again.

Trump’s shocking claims about an outspoken critic stand in stark contrast to the fury he expressed towards those accused of celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk

I work in both the US and the UK, and was shocked to hear that my British colleagues who are normal healthy adults could only get a flu shot if they paid for it themselves. In the US, anyone can get a flu shot. Why the limits?

Where are these proud Brexiters' will-of-the-people and sovereignty arguments now? They seem to prefer being the gimp of a foreign autocrat, to accepting the wishes of the majority in their own country. Is this why they wanted to "take back control"? To hand it over? ~AA
This, published by the "patriotic" Telegraph, seems to me pretty full-on, unabashed Putin apologia, blaming Europe for Putin's aggression. It is indistinguishable from the set of Kremlin-talking-points, that we have been hearing from his officials and proxies. ~AA
