The French-Iranian author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi has died at the age of 56. An outspoken critic of the Iranian government, she was best known for the book and film 'Persepolis', which recounted the story of her early life in Tehran, struggling under the restrictions imposed after the 1979 revolution. Her family said she died of "sadness" following the death of her husband last year.

This is desperately sad news, and my heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives today. I am always left in awe by the bravery of our service men and women who put their lives on the line for all of our safety.

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.” “So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.” Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Children Killed by Russia. Officially, it has a different name. But in the language of truth, this is exactly what it is. This day is about the most painful episodes of the war, about the greatest injustice and the evil Russia inflicts when the most vulnerable and the most innocent are killed. Children. Currently, that figure is at least 707 Ukrainian children. And there are also thousands of children whom Russia has wounded, abducted, and thousands of children whose fate remains unknown. These are important and horrifying figures, but behind them lies something greater than statistics about Russian crimes alone. These were children's dreams, plans, and hopes that were simply erased. This is the pain of every mother and every father who does not know how to go on living with that. Living with such pain. Our Ukrainian children. Some were only a few days old. Some had just started first grade. Others should have been celebrating their graduation. This is who a sick state is waging war against. This is who the so-called second army of the world is fighting – an army incapable of winning on the battlefield and seeking to assert itself by targeting children. Eternal memory to every child who was killed. It is our enduring duty to remember, to protect our children, and to do everything possible to ensure that the evil Russia has brought is punished.

My prayers are with the loved ones of the Royal Navy personnel who tragically died in this awful accident. They were serving their country in work that is dangerous, demanding and brave. Their loss is a painful reminder of just how much we ask of those who serve.

The loss of these exceptional Royal Navy officers is tragic. Particularly sad to hear that Lt. Lily-Mae Fisher, the UK’s only female Green Beret, was one of those killed. Royal Navy crew killed in helicopter crash named – @BBCNews bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg4p…

Nigel Farage's first act was not to heed the advice of Mark Nowak. His first act was to take to social media. Max Wilkinson MP on why Farage's divisive and hate-filled rhetoric makes things in Britain worse.

Remembering the brilliant Marjane Satrapi, the extraordinary artist and filmmaker behind Persepolis. Through this deeply personal and powerful film, she gave audiences a story of identity, freedom, exile and resistance that continues to resonate across the world.

🎯 The only kind of negotiation Putin understands is threats to his power. That means defeat in Ukraine and/or the collapse of the Russian economy. Neither of those things will happen over a table and everything else is a waste of time.

If NATO is lucky, they can join Ukraine.

The King's Speech should be a bold plan to make change happen in Britain. To end the insecurity and the chaos. Instead we'll get the same old lines from a PM on his way out @LibDems are the only non-populist party left standing. Join us to build our country up, not tear it down

Patriotism is more than waving a flag. We’re proud of Britain’s heritage, culture and communities. So we’re launching ‘What Makes Britain Great’, with our MPs sharing videos each week on what makes them proud to be British. Check out @anna4fes ⬇️
