Delighted to hear @LulaOficial has defeated the far-right in Brazil.
A remarkable comeback, and a great outcome for the world!

FT. 2-1. Chauke and Collar earn us three points after going behind in the first half.
A superb team performance in the second 45 to get back into the match!

I don’t think these people understand how devastating a £100 fine is for a family, especially when it is completely unjust.
Those claiming it is a non-issue should speak to MPs. We have regular correspondence about incorrect fines, charges and innocent mistakes.

Some criticism of this being beneath a PM totally misses the fact that this isn’t just an everyday annoyance, the behaviour of enforcement companies is seen as emblematic of a rigged/exploitative system and is entirely the sort of cause of misery people want a govt to tackle.
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced changes to car parking fines
- Drivers will have a 5-minute grace period to decide whether to park and 10 minutes to leave after a parking session ends
- A £20 maximum charge on appeal for minor mistakes, such as entering the wrong number plate or not displaying a permit
- Charges will also be cancelled on appeal for breakdowns, medical emergencies or broken ticket machines
- The £100 cap on charges will remain
- The rules will come into force as soon as possible and operators that break them will lose access to DVLA data

We're deeply concerned that the Shadow Culture Secretary appears to be arguing for an end to almost all public investment in arts & culture.
A cut of this magnitude would be unprecedented and catastrophic. We've requested a full explanation of the numbers and a serious rethink.
We will cut the arts & culture budget by £1bn in order to fund 50,000 prison places. Keeping rapists and other dangerous offenders locked up is a priority for the @Conservatives. We will always put community safety first.
@RichmoMusic If you need help understanding the numbers, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Always happy to talk you through.

NEW: France has dropped its opposition to the UK being included in the EU’s “Made in Europe” legislation as long as the British government aligns with the bloc’s position over tariffs on Chinese EVs.
In a breakthrough for Andy Burnham, Paris on Thursday came round to backing Germany, which has always supported the UK’s calls to be designated European for the purposes of the Industrial Accelerator Act.
The legislation, which is in its draft stage, is designed to protect domestic manufacturing from cheap Chinese competition.
According to a joint Franco-German paper seen by the Guardian, the two countries are now proposing that for the car industry specifically the UK could be included in the "Made in Europe" scheme. @lisaocarroll reports

I wasn’t added. I feel left out.
I won’t go out qaluit-ly.
In today's Times diary... Labour tongues were wagging yesterday over a mysterious WhatsApp group set up by MP Alison Hume called "I'm not a qaluit".
There were more than 100 messages in 20 minutes. Alex Ballinger chimed in: "Speak for yourself, Alison, I'm a qaluit."
After whips got in touch out of concerns she'd been hacked, she quickly clarified that wasn't the case.
Congratulations Baroness Campbell - amazing 👏
Wonderful to hear Baroness Campbell's AI-created voice @UKHouseofLords for the first time; a first for @UKParliament & among the first in any legislature worldwide.
More than a tech milestone, it's very much HER voice, a powerful one for a leading disability rights campaigner📣
