These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with. Prison is where they belong. Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

The resignations of the Defence Secretary and Armed Forces Minister confirm what I've being saying since last year, including at the London Defence Conference in April. We need to get serious. We need to rearm. The @Conservatives will cut welfare spending to fund our military.

John Healey, the former Defence Secretary, has acted honourably by resigning. Keir Starmer is too weak to cut welfare and fund defence - as I told him yesterday at PMQs. Only the Conservatives have a plan to put our national security first.

This is bullshit. What I ACTUALLY said is we "cannot have another left-wing government. But I'm afraid that Reform has quite a lot of left-wing ideas. They want more benefits. They want nationalisation” I then said. On "deals, non-aggression pacts and so on....I'm just saying no. It's just no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

Keir Starmer just failed to rule out EVEN more tax rises...twice. It doesn’t have to be this way. We must cut welfare spending to fund our defence.

The scenes in Belfast are deeply disturbing. People have a right to be angry. And people have the right to expect their politicians to secure our borders. But no one has a right to burn families out of their homes.

Something isn’t right in our police service. To fix the problem, we have to first accept that there is one.

These leaked messages prove that even the Prime Minister’s right hand man doesn’t think the Chancellor is capable of growing the economy. It doesn't matter if it's Starmer or Burnham running the show, the problem is the Labour Party.
BREAKING: Even Keir Starmer's Chief Secretary Darren Jones admits he doesn’t have confidence in Rachel Reeves to grow the economy. Text messages continue to reveal what Labour will tell Peter Mandelson, but refuse to admit to the British people.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

Every life matters. One law. One standard. For everyone.  This is about justice, for Henry, for his family and for all our children. They deserve better.

The shocking quote that will define this Labour government. Labour are taxing you more to give out more benefits.

It doesn’t matter who replaces the Prime Minister. Labour MPs will keep asking for more tax to pay for more benefits.

One million young people are now out of education, employment or training. Labour’s Jobs Tax has destroyed opportunities for younger workers. This is the @Conservatives plan to reward work, back aspiration and give young people a fair chance to succeed 👇🏻

Identity politics divides our country whoever is doing it. The Conservative Party rejects it. We believe in universalism and equality under the law. We must not treat people differently on the basis of skin colour. We have to build faith and trust in our institutions. If there is one thing that should come from Henry’s death, it is that we make things better, so that this does not happen to any of our boys again. That is what I am committed to. I do not want his death to be in vain. Let’s do this for Henry. Let’s get this right.

Seeing as Reform have resorted to lying about Kemi’s position on policing, race, and the murder of Henry Nowak, here is the full interview. Judge for yourself.
Watch in full: @KemiBadenoch's powerful response to the murder of Henry Nowak and the shocking police bodycam footage ⬇️

Reform’s attack on @KemiBadenoch is a straightforward lie, and everyone can see it. Here’s what Kemi actually said this morning ⬇️
Kemi Badenoch, just like Starmer, doesn’t care. Only Reform UK will openly say that white lives matter too.
Community note
The truncated quote actually reads: "I don’t want to hear about Black Lives Matter. I don’t want to hear about White Lives Matter. Everyone matters. Henry Nowak matters." x.com/KemiBadenoch/s…

Rudakubana. Calocane. Digwa. How many warnings get ignored before we admit the truth? When public services fear accusations of racism more than they fear threats to public safety, innocent people pay the price.
