Debbie Abrahams on Radio 4 just now. I don't understand why, as an MP (and a senior one at that), you would go on Today if you're not prepared to talk about what's in the news.

At some point European leaders are going to learn what the average 12-yr old knows instinctively. If you hand over your dinner money to bullied, they donβt go away. They come back stronger, more vicious and with bigger demands.

OMG Vance and Trump shouting at Zelenskyy is quite fucking something.

Huge respect for Anneliese Dodd.
βUltimately, these cuts will remove food & healthcare ..the reality is that this decision is already being portrayed as following in President Trump's slipstream of cuts to USAIDβ

Same. Ever more Reform-esque rhetoric (and now policy). Very depressing.

If Labour becomes "Reform-lite' then people are more likely to desert them and vote for the real thing. Imitation and weak leadership will not win Starmer anything. I don't think I've ever felt so let down by a Government I voted for.

The Labour I voted for promised to restore UK Aid to 0.7% as soon as economy allowed βnow theyβre slashing it to 0.3%.
This isnβt just a broken promise, itβs a reckless move that makes Britain less safe.
This is short-sighted, self-defeating, and shameful.
I am disgusted.

Letβs remember what this war is about: Ukrainian self-determination, an ability to choose its own future. Neither Trump nor Putin give that any regard.

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics.

So much talk about Fees, but this is the real issue. Students from poorer backgrounds can't afford a roof over their head (let alone food and, dare I say it, beer). Maintenance grants/loans need a HUGE uplift.
Teens from low income households more and more priced out of university as living costs soar way above maintenance loans bit.ly/3BbQ8Pl partly because student accommodation is overpriced by investors and must be rented all year
Students face soaring rents due to lack of supply
Maintenance loans canβt keep up with accommodation increases, meaning halls are at a premium with only overseas families able to afford the best

But hang on, I hear (some of) you say... what about small boats? They're the main thing most politicians talk about after all...
So how DO small boat arrivals compare with legal migration?

I've always been sceptical of #InternationalMensDay but 1 in 5 men have no close friends. Suicide is the leading cause of death amongst men under 50. Paternity leave is so poor that many men aren't able to take time off. The status quo damages men as well as women. We need to change the narrative.
