If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

. @JDVance Do you still think @ZelenskyyUa should say thankyou for the help you've been giving?

Climate change is already affecting our communities. We cannot afford to treat it as a political game.
We have responsibility to protect the places we call home and build a safer, better future for the next generation.
Net Zero isn’t an ambition we can put on hold. It’s essential.
Britain has shown what climate leadership can look like. We must keep moving forward - not let political infighting stand in the way of the progress our communities and our planet depend on.
This Labour government will protect our communities and protect our future.

For the final day of Organ Donation Week, there’s really only one thing I want to ask.
If your family were asked tomorrow, would they know what you wanted?
Organ donation has not only saved and improved my life, but that of my brother’s too.

Please keep worrying about hoards of fighting age men and try to forget that small boat crossings are down 44%, deportations are at their highest level in ten years and immigration is 82% lower. I need everyone to be furious, otherwise what is the point of me?
Jim Down retweeted
Lot of chatter about small boat numbers today. These are the latest figures from Migration Watch. The reality is there has been a major fall - despite the good weather - in the numbers. It doesn't fit the narrative. But it's clear that something the Government is doing is having an impact.

Whatever your decision, make sure your family knows it.

NHS Blood and Transplant says that when no decision is known, families are much less likely to support donation.
So perhaps organ donation is a conversation to have over a cup of tea. Decide what you want. Record your decision. Share it with the people who matter.
Jim Down retweeted
Decide. Record. Share.
We often talk about registering an organ donation decision. But there’s another part that matters just as much: telling the people closest to you what you want.
Because the difference that conversation can make is striking.
We’d all take a donated organ to save our life but only 57% of families consent to donation - because they’re don’t their loved one’s wishes. Push consent rates to 90% by joining the register. You could save or transform up to 9 lives. No age limit. Be amazing. #organdonationweek

So let’s get this right Hegseth. You and your boss start a war against Iran without even informing never mind consulting your European allies, during which Iran seizes the Strait of Hormuz — which you’re now struggling to wrest back. And now you say it’s Europe’s fight rather than America’s.
No. You broke it. You fix it.

You can protest against asylum seekers if you genuinely believe you’re protecting women and girls. But look at what’s actually happening -
Female asylum seekers are themselves being sexually harassed, assaulted and raped by BRITISH men and many are too vulnerable and frightened to even report it.
Asylum seekers aren't your enemy- sexual predators are.
