Chancellor Mertz meekly sitting there whilst Trump drove a wedge between European allies. A touch of the Zelensky’s wouldn’t have gone amiss! #c4news

After the Trump onslaught, quite extraordinary that Charles and Camilla are off next month to USA on a state visit. #c4news

probably more accurate to say "this is not Tony Blair that we're dealing with"

Good, perceptive report that from Gary Gibbon on Keir Starmer in the Commons this afternoon. Starmer, the lawyer, looking comfortable. #c4news

She’s high on grim takes, but this was utterly grim. Many on the benches behind her happy I’m sure, to leave her in isolation on this one.

Sir Keir Starmer rejects Kemi Badenoch's argument that the UK should have joined in the initial bombings by the US and Israel:

β€œI will not countenance committing our military personnel to action that does not have a lawful basis, that is not a fair thing to do to our serving personnel,” he said.

Impressive gravitas, leaving Kemi Badenoch looking out of her depth.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

No real surprise that Zack Polanski is cutting through. His very straightforward press conference this morning… doesn’t expect voters to buy in to all policies, but 7 out of 10 will do. A welcome ’openness.’
