Green MP Ellie Chowns on the elections bill last night: "It is really quite extraordinary that the Thailand-based crypto investor Christopher Harborne has been allowed to donate Β£9 million to Reform UK. I notice that its Members are still not here" (2/3rds of the way into the debate)

Well good for them for showing a bit of honesty.

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.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

"I think that sort of barbarity is not something that is true to British values, and so we will oppose that."

Right now, it’s up to Labour MPs. Are you going to go down in history as enabling Starmer, Mahmood et al to destroy both the party and its legacy?

Out of 300 odd MP's? That doesn't say much for the PLP.

It is hugely disappointing to see Labour and the Conservatives play politics rather than vote to protect children from harmful social media.

Liberal Democrats will not give up the fight to hold social media giants to account.

As a Brit I can tell you Trump is very unpopular but we still like Americans. You would be very welcome.

It's a good decision. British bases absolutely shouldn,'t be used.

Europe and the UK should come closer together – on security, on economy or on defending our democracies.

Ten years on from Brexit, our futures are as bound as ever.

So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership.

Shout out gor the Kobo e-reader here. The Kobo is Canadian and the range of available books is huge. Not using kindle into the bargain.

How come TV channels air announcements by Reform U.K., but ignore the Lib Dems?

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.

If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

I’m Chris Mason BBC Political Editor, I’ve worked hard to get Starmer ousted but it’s not worked

On News tonight I finished each sounding with Labour MPs saying they support Starmer with genius comments like

β€œFor now”, β€œfor the time being”, β€œleaving him vulnerable” etc

I believe #ReformRocks

Turning inward to a leadership contest now would be both wrong and counterproductive when there is still so much vital work ahead.

Our focus should remain on delivering the change voters asked for, not distracting ourselves from it.

Agree with this 100%. Lord only knows who we would end up with. Things are tricky atm.
