Morning @DavidLammy my trial last week was delayed …. because the printer wasn’t working properly. The other week another trial I was in was delayed for 4 hours because the prosecution hadn’t edited the victims video evidence. I could go on but trust me- the backlog is not caused by juries!

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone. It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off. Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now. We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both. I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces. Letter to the PM below.🫡🫡🫡⬇️⬇️

Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley very strong on scenes in Belfast: "I was watching a bit of the news last night, and I can't remember what channel it was, but a journalist was talking about 'these protesters.' "I thought, that isn't a protest. People are setting fire to cars. That's not a protest. That's violent disorder, that's criminality. I really feel for Northern Ireland colleagues who are wrestling with that. It's really, really difficult. "We live in these volatile times and, some of what goes on online whips up, sentiment on the street. "We know that Russian state actors, Iranian state actors, they want to sow discord on the streets of the UK. So this is a really complex issue we're wrestling with. So you've got very polarised debates in the UK, and you've got other people overseas who want to drive wedge issues to create disorder, and you've got the great men and women of Police Service Northern Ireland on the streets in the middle of that, trying to sort of protect people and stop people burning down houses and things. It's awful."

John Healey shadowed me for over 4 years. While i didn’t agree with everything he did i know he tried his best and had the interests of the Armed Forces at his heart. i know he loved the job and it will have not been easy to resign. His loyalty to his Party and PM was not reciprocated by them when it mattered and i think he was left with no choice. i wish him the very best. His resignation was one of principle.

What a beautiful boy 💙 The inquest had to be adjourned for the afternoon due to the thuggery in Belfast. #JusticeForNoahDonohoe #TheNoahDonohoeInquest

Thanks for the attention to our case Orla. Grace was so happy living in Woodford Green and loved going to Uni at Nottingham. Our dreams were shattered on 13th June 2023. No resignations, even though the ICB, regional mental health director, the Trust have all been called out. There is no honour, no candour

I think it's about time women journalists started walking out on Trump. 'Ok Mr President, you've now insulted me three times during this interview and that is enough. You either apologise or I terminate the broadcast'.

People might think that having the husband of the current foreign secretary co-presenting an ITN produced breakfast television show raises all sorts of questions. Not #GMB though! They think its something to laugh about.
