Mick North's five year old daughter Sophie was murdered 30 years ago along with 15 other children and their teacher at Dunblane's primary school.

He has called on Nigel Farage to renounce his description of the UK's handgun ban as 'ludicrous', but Farage refuses.

Families are already seeing petrol prices rise, mortgage rates go up and energy deals get more expensive because of a war they did not start or support.

While the Conservatives and Reform cheer Trump on, I asked the PM if he will just stand by and watch energy bills skyrocket.

Last week I asked Keir Starmer for a guarantee that families would not be hit with a Β£500 rise in energy bills because of Trump’s illegal war.

Still no sign of a clear answer from the PM.

Trump’s illegal war is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills for British families.

This visit should not go ahead.

Hardworking taxpayers fund our armed forces.

Meanwhile influencers like Isabel Oakeshott live overseas, contribute nothing, and still benefit from the protection of the UK.

If she's going to pick a fight with @calummillerld.bsky.social, she should at least get her facts right.

Labour and Tories have dynamited the job market. Greens and Reform will make it even worse

Only Liberals will fix it, here is how (🧡)

Uncut Trumpism. No election is valid unless they win it. Farage and Reform UK are outright enemies of democracy and the Mail is actively aiding them.

Starmer needs to get on the phone to Trump and ask him to set out a plan to protect civilians and support a democratic transition in Iran.

We've seen before that bombs don't bring about democracy and regime change without a plan just leads to more chaos and suffering.

Millions of young people are now facing the consequences of a referendum they were too young to vote in. If we truly care about future generations, we owe it to them to rebuild our ties with Europe and reopen the opportunities that Brexit has taken away.
