As a dad to two young children I am very pleased with the government news on social media today.

I don't think it is. We ban things for adults but we give them the vote. No difference here.

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.

Overnight, @RoyalMarines and @NCA_UK officers boarded a Russian shadow fleet tanker, the first operation of its kind led by the UK.
I'm incredibly proud of everyone involved who showed great skill, professionalism, and courage.
This is another blow to Putinβs war machine.

Sam Corner - hard left
Ant Middleton - far right
Both men have convictions for assaulting policewomen.
Rob Kenyon (Reform UK) describes Ant Middleton as one of his heroes
Zack Polanski (Green) describes Samuel Corners' sentence as gut-wrenching

Why would your hero be someone that assaulted a female police officer?

Really really odd answer. Nigel Farage suggests in a couple of years there might be someone better to be PM. Thatβs quite possibly before the next election.
"Right now, I'm the only person."
Nigel Farage believes he's got sufficient 'rapport' and 'courage' to become Prime Minister.

Cairns put now. Significant day I feel in regards to Starmers future. More so than the recent council elections.

I have sympathy with the cabinet that funding needs can't be met by the budget. Every public service was destroyed by the tories.
That said, some people I have spoke to have said Labour should've focused on just 2/3 areas in 1st term. Health, defence etc.

The resignation letters over the last months have one thing in common - we aren't being bold enough. But, do we have the money to be bold enough?...
