I am going to have words with the press team. They didn't do visits like this when I was temporary interim provisional stopgap leader.
Wouldn’t have thought I’d enjoy making chocolate as much as I do eating it.
In Warwickshire with Manuela Perteghella @mp4stratford.bsky.social I saw just how hard local businesses are working to keep their doors open. Labour should scrap the jobs tax—and we should all Buy British. 🇬🇧 🍫

"The amount the government is seeking to cut from the benefits bill is colossal: £4.5bn every year by 2029/30.
To put this in context, the government currently spends £48bn on health-related benefits, so this is a cut of just under 10%."

Happy St George' Day!
![Cartoon for St George's day by Stephen Collins for the guardian. Script as follows:
Scene is outside a cave, ST GEORGE in armour etc is confronting the DRAGON while the CAPTURED PRINCESS looks on.
DRAGON:
So let me get this straight.
DRAGON:
You’re hoping to reinforce ‘helpless princess’ tropes…
DRAGON:
By publicly stabbing an *endangered animal* to death with a *sword*…
DRAGON:
So you can force a whole Syrian village to convert to Christianity….
DRAGON:
And become a nationalist icon for a colonial state…
DRAGON:
Through the cultural appropriation of ancient medieval dragon myths.
DRAGON:
You’ve not been *online* very long, have you?
GEORGE:
I have been quite surprised by the comments.
GEORGE’S SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT [who is filming this encounter on an iPhone]:
I told you it’s problematic, George.
DRAGON:
Problematic? It’s a *bin fire*!
DRAGON:
OK. Here’s how you turn this round -
CUT TO a YoutTube post called ‘MY JOURNEY (An apology)’. GEORGE is crying to camera, Dragon in background.
GEORGE:
I am *so sorry* guys…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreihzpskp6p4u4ejrjhmp4tdye2rzg75vmbyxbn45o5g4xk7dpairge@jpeg)

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising.
He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.
