NEW: Peter Mandelson was offered a severance payment of £75,000 - having initially asked the Foreign Office to pay him more than £500,000 upon his sacking as US ambassador, newly released docs reveal.
Putting pictures of animals on our currency would be "deeply depressing," say the Conservatives.
The UK government has confirmed there will be closer alignment with EU legislation amid ongoing negotiations for a Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) deal to cut costs for consumers.
Naomi Smith, Chief Executive of Best for Britain:
“This is a hugely welcome step in the right direction."

“Dear Diary,
Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”
Well well… @reformuk.bsky.social (I know this is a parody account) are so shit that they spelt the Cymraeg (Welsh) wrong on the front of their manifesto 🤣🤣🤣
These two quit Labour a month ago and Sir Robin Wales hasn't been in office since 2018 (after a 'colourful' career as Mayor) - so calling them Labour 'heavyweight leaders' is a bit of a stretch.
I would love to say that this is Matt reaching acceptance in the stages of grief, but past history suggests that the grift will go on
Hi! Immigration lawyer here! Mahmood's view of the Refugee Convention as providing temporary protection just isn’t correct & AFAIK isn’t one anyone has ever adopted.
On the contrary, the Convention is clearly predicated on a long-term need for protection.

This should be a bigger story.
Following an exchange between the MP and the Reform-run council, Cllr David Wimble, cabinet member for economic development and special projects, posted on X: “Well perhaps we could pull funding for her lovely turner contemporary?... Polly Billington MP] suck it up.”
Buzzwords especially “populism” helped produce this kind of journalistic ambiguity
Language of common sense. Promises of order & national renewal, this is the standard trick for presenting racist politics as natural, & smuggling some of the darkest ideas of the 1930s back into public life
Oh god. I came to a cafe for a quiet lunch and some crypto bros are having a business meeting at the table next to me.
At what point should this count as a political donation?

As you know Luke it’s the result of our voting system, people are forced to vote against the party they hate rather than for the party they want to see in power. A fair electoral system would give every party the representation they deserve according to their share of the vote.
The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

By embracing the same narrative, Labour are giving legitimacy to Reform’s plans.
They are both wrong and dangerous.
The local elections are in 2 months and Reform UK are begging people to stand.
Recruitment must be going poorly, they’ve probably realised they don’t have enough former Tories to fill their candidate list.
If these people are found to be working for a foreign power, Keir Starmer will be personally responsible. Whereas when a senior Reform colleague is jailed for ten years for taking bribes from Russia, that is nothing to do with me.
There are no proposed legal changes on burning Qurans or Bibles or the Torah, though we should discourage burning any books. It is a public order offence in some contexts, as harassment of worshippers, and not in itself in other contexts, eg outside an Embassy.

Well said, @mp4stratford.bsky.social ! Thank you for raising in parliament issues affecting overseas voting.
The new elections act is a chance to fix it with:
📮 Better postal ballots
🌍 Overseas constituencies
🏢 Using embassies and consulates
GB News are now bringing Restore Britain on to the channel to tell their own black British presenter, born in Newcastle, she is not British - and it is "ridiculous" to define being British in a way that includes black people.
