My god this looks epic

UK Hongkongers rue the rockiness of their ‘lifeboat’ after threatened visa changes People who fled Chinese territory are angry after London looks at doubling length of time required to gain citizenship

A deeply frustrating and depressing article.

The UK rightly extended the hand of support and solidarity to BN(O) passport holders in Hong Kong. We should never go back on that commitment, and the Government really should think again about their proposals.

Horrific antisemitism on display again, on one of the holiest days for Jews, with a violent attack on a synagogue.

Thoughts are with all my Jewish friends.

Get your point but dont think we should cede these things to the far right

Even if ChatGPT is being used, its arguably less of an issue than many MPs (not you two!) using their time in the Chamber *solely* for the use of clipping it for social media.

I detest it!

Starmer ‘rewarding Hamas’ with plan to recognise Palestine, says Israel Sir Keir Starmer has been under pressure from his cabinet and backbenchers to follow the French lead and recognise Palestine

Nonsense and offensive from the Netanyahu govt.

*Their* actions are bolstering Hamas by shredding the goodwill and support Israel rightly got after the awful attacks on Oct 7th.

A 2 state solution is the only long term way forward.

Another example of arguing the toss for months to just return to the obvious way forward.

Wise up.

No 10 examines plan for digital ID cards to cut illegal migration Some cabinet ministers support the think tank proposal to issue a ‘BritCard’ to every adult which could become a one-stop shop for access to government services

Virtually every European country has a ID card scheme.

This is long overdue - just do it

🤣

The determination of Kemi Badenoch to turn Lucy Connolly - a woman who demanded a pogrom ffs - into a national hero just shows how far down the right wing Twitter rabbit hole she is. Really despicable.

Kurts Adams Rozentals: British canoeist 'forced to choose between Olympics and OnlyFans' British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals says he is being forced to choose between his Olympic dream and OnlyFans account.

Sorry, but are we being governed by the Taliban?

Reeves to champion £113bn of new capital investment in spending review Chancellor hopes investment in homes, transport and energy will stave off pressure from MPs and discontent among public

We are all paying for 14 years of the Tories slashing investment. This is absolutely the right move.

She isn't fit to be Leader of the Opposition, let alone a potential Prime Minister.

Felt somewhat shoehorned in

Civil servants banned from buying Pride-flag lanyards The ‘stricter’ rules came after a spending crackdown in government on branded merchandise and staff away days

Why? Such an unnecessary and mean spirited mood.

Government really do need to break out of this self imposed straight jacket

Genuinely thought this was a mock-up. Unbelievable

Delusion.

The museum was hosting an event to promote aid to Gaza.

There is no defence of this crime whatsoever. It is blatant and out and out antisemitism

"Wet"

High drama in my building this morning

Potentially cheaper....

Who buys stamps?!

London's nightlife is on its knees, you don't feel safe checking your phone when you're walking around, and you pay through your nose in rent.

But sure, let's rehash Brexit arguments and spend time on something the Mayor isn't responsible for.

Smh.

We can no longer allow Brexit to be a barrier to young people’s dreams ⬇️

This is such beautiful news. The wonders created through the scientific method, and the hard work of scientists trying again and again, often in the face of repeated failure, really are something to behold.

UK puts Chagos Islands deal on hold to avoid ‘toxic backlash’ Downing Street is allegedly refusing to give the go-ahead to the deal out of fear that it is opposed by Tories, Reform and even some Labour MPs

Finally, some common sense!

Honoured to be a guest of the UK-Taiwanese APPG to hear from former President of Taiwan, President Tsai.

The UK & Taiwan have strong links.

In a uncertain world, President Tsai called out the threats from disinformation and provocation.

We all must support progressive democracies like Taiwan.

Rachel Reeves shouldn’t U-turn on winter fuel cuts It would be a dangerous risk for a high-borrowing government to bow to political pressure.

I think the premise of this is bang on.

Cutting WFA was - and is - ridiculously unpopular and shouldn't have happened in the way it did, but reversing course will not pay off politically - and economically would be *even more* damaging.

Look ahead, not back.
