BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu says he will not comply with President Trump’s peace deal with Iran and will strike Iran and Lebanon whenever he deems necessary. Netanyahu says he does not see eye to eye with Trump on the issue and that he is responsible for Israel’s security. Nethanyahu needs to be removed.

Reform UK object to foreign nationals living in social housing. But not to foreign nationals buying their leader a house for a million quid.

Listen to this absolutely haunting sound. Putin’s attack on the Lavra must be condemned by leaders around the world. It’s also a wake-up call, Ukraine *is* the Lavra, it’s survived but only by facing off the utter barbarity of Putin’s regime
The bells of the Lavra rang out across Kyiv after Russia’s massive attack on the capital. A sound of faith, resilience, and survival above a city that endured another night of terror.

President Trump @POTUS and I had a very good conversation today on many key topics: the war, its roots, diplomatic opportunities, and the positions of our partners. President Trump’s remarks were absolutely spot-on, particularly regarding our Crimea: it was Russia’s seizure of Crimea that started it all, and if there had been strong leadership back then, this entire war simply wouldn’t have happened. All Ukrainians have one wish for President Trump: that we may finally achieve peace, and achieve this success together with the U.S. and all our partners. This is the most important thing we want, and it is crucial that American society is fully supporting this Ukrainian aspiration for a dignified peace.

La FIFA preguntó a una japonesa que por qué recogen la basura en todos los estadios a los que asisten. Ella lo explicó: "Es nuestra cultura. Pero también es una señal de respeto hacia el país y estadio que nos acoge y hacia nuestros jugadores. Para nosotros es un honor que nos reciban aquí y no podríamos dejar todo hecho un desastre".

Just back from Makerfield and the message was clear. Local people want an MP who’ll listen to them and act on their concerns - someone who believes in hope not division and decline. That’s @AndyBurnhamGM.

The Makerfield by-election is of national significance. Supporters of We Own It understand this and are urging @andy4makerfield to confirm his support for public ownership of public services, not merely public control. Find out more and ask him to clarify here: vist.ly/57twy

Very sad. Labour through and through, a fine mind and gifted writer, a loyal and hard working deputy to Neil at a vital time in Labour history, and a critical friend to New Labour. Sheffield Wednesday to the very end! RIP Roy

So appears I'm not liked by at least 1 senior govt adviser. That's a badge I'll happily pick up off the floor and wear with dignity and honour. Here's a hint. Sort out the water industry, fix our rivers and you need never speak my name ever again. Massive thank you once again to Patrick Galbraith @PaddyGalbraith and all at the @Telegraph for the coverage and support. instagram.com/reel/DZkxUeMgu…

Of course, I am happy that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open. That's a good outcome for the entire global economy. But the Strait was opened before the war. We did not need a war to keep it open.

It is important that the world does not remain silent in response to this latest act of Russian barbarism. This strike on the Lavra is an attack on the Christian community and on the cultural heritage of humanity. There can be no justification for this or for any other similar Russian attacks. What is needed is more cooperation to stop Russia’s war and stronger protection to save lives from Russia.
Внаслідок російського обстрілу, який відбувається зараз, вночі 15 червня, горить дах одного з найбільш святих місць християнського світу - Успенського собору Печерської лаври у Києві. Просимо про молитву за врятування святині від знищення. Черговий російський злочин проти людяності, проти історії, проти християнства. Що ще повинен зробити кремлівський антихрист, аби світ усвідомив, що слід рішуче діяти, аби російський терор проти України і самих принципів миру припинився? Пресвятая Богодице, зупини ірода!
