I spoke with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. We discussed the current developments and exchanged views on the next steps. We are coordinating our positions and doing everything to achieve guaranteed peace as soon as possible and bring an end to this war. Peace is needed for all of us. A just peace with clear security guarantees. Together with the leadership of the United States and all of Europe, this is absolutely achievable. I am grateful for the advice and support during this challenging time. We will always remember everything the British people have done for Ukrainians and our shared security.

UK expresses concern over Israel blocking Gaza aid The UK government has expressed concern over the Israeli government blocking the entry of aid into Gaza following the end of the first phase of the ceasefire. In comments to Middle East Eye on Sunday evening, a Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are very concerned at reports that Israel has announced it will pause all aid going into Gaza. "We urge all parties to engage constructively in negotiating the subsequent phases of the deal to help ensure its full implementation and a permanent end to hostilities."

Keir Starmer embraces President Zelensky as he arrives at Downing St.

Good news! 4 schools in South Cambs are among the first to pilot free daily breakfast clubs.

This will save families up to £450 a year and help every child start the day ready to learn.

A key part of the Labour Government’s Plan for Change.

Keir Starmer's call with President Zelenskyy tonight -

BBC News, "The Prime Minister Keir Starmer has expressed his support for Ukraine's President Zelenskyy after Donald Trump's condemnation of Kyiv's handling of the war with Russia"

"Keir Starmer described Zelenskyy as Ukraine's democratically elected leader"

Another timely conversation between the Starmer and Zelenskyy.

This time showing the support for Zelenskyy as the Democratically elected President of Ukraine and reminding us all that under Churchill in WW2, the UK also temporarily suspended elections in a time of war.

I welcome the agreement on our 16th package of sanctions.

The EU is clamping down even harder on circumvention by targeting more vessels in Putin’s shadow fleet and imposing new import and export bans.

We are committed to keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.

Are you in any way related to the Tory Kemi Badenoch who was a cabinet minister in the most corrupt, sleaze-ridden, incompetent government that ruthlessly covered up its multiple disgraces: Partygate, the PPE scandal, & 10s of millions of COVID loans handed to Mrs Sunak by the Chancellor, Mr Sunak?

Congratulations @mayordrnik.bsky.social on delivering bus franchising in Cambs & Pbro. This will substantially improve frequency, deliver more rural routes, keep prices down & reinvest profit into the bus network instead of shareholder pockets. #GoodThatLabourDors

Congratulations Dr Nik. A vital step to improved bus travel across Cambs & Pbro, where decisions on bus routes are made on the basis of what’s best for the community rather than what maximises the profits of private bus company shareholders. #GoodThatLabourDoes

On 1 April 2025 we will see a big increase in the minimum wage. For the first time, the cost of living has been taken into account when setting the rates.

Hard work should be properly rewarded. By raising wages, we’re making sure work really does pay.

"She's not doing her job, she's not concerned about national security, and she's not fit to be prime minister"

Well said Starmer 👏

#PMQs.

Palestinians "must be allowed home. They must be allowed to rebuild, and we should be with them in rebuilding on the way to a two state solution," says Keir Starmer, when asked about Donald Trump's call for Gaza to be ethnically cleansed

Nigel Farage Says He Is 'Open to Anything' When It Comes to Replacing NHS With 'Insurance-Based Model' It's the latest hint that Reform UK would privatise the NHS

Nigel Farage insists that he wants the NHS to be "free at the point of use."

Just last week he backed forcing patients into "paying into effectively an insurance scheme"

On maternity pay, Starmer points out Badenoch's previous negative comments on the subject. He also notes how maternity leave will be strengthened through the upcoming Employment Rights Bill. #PMQs

NEW: Keir Starmer distances himself at PMQs from the Trump Gaza plan

“Palestinians must be allowed home, they must be allowed to rebuild and we should be with them in that rebuild - on the way to a two state solution."

John Slinger, "Nigel Farage says he open to an insurance based system for the NHS"

Keir Starmer, "Under Labour, the NHS will always be free at the point of use for anyone who needs it"

"What a contrast with Reform whose leader has said that those who can afford to pay should pay for healthcare"

Keir Starmer, "The leader of the opposition Kemi Badenoch personally lobbied to remove annual limits on student and work visas"

"The shadow foreign secretary still think they have a great record on immigration, forgetting that they quadrupled immigration reaching almost 1 million year"
