Power, Peter Mandelson, and rage. In case there is any doubt, I wholeheartedly support the Prime Minister. We have done great things as a government. But there is more to…

Feel this even stronger after the past few days. Traditional hierarchy has to die. Even on Whitehall.

Every reference to 'welfare' ever should have 'including pensions' or 'excluding pensions' in parentheses next to the word.

All interviewers/articles should clarify at first use whether the word includes or excludes. Interviews should be stopped if unclear.

Because frankly it's getting tedious.

Hungarian opposition ousts Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power Péter Magyar’s Tisza party wins election as prime minister concedes defeat, in result likely to reshape ties with EU * Hungary election live Hungary’s opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, has won the election, bringing an end to Viktor Orbán’s 16-year grip on power, in a result that is likely to rattle the White House and reshape the country’s relationship with the EU. Less than three hours after polls closed on Sunday, Orbán conceded defeat after what he described as a “painful but unambiguous” election result. Continue reading...

“Sometimes in football, there are storms to be faced. There are hills to be walked up. But as fans leaving Anfield in the pouring rain tonight found, facing all your problems is easier if Liverpool have won. A win always, always helps.”

Wes Streeting attacks Trump’s ‘outrageous’ Iran war rhetoric Health secretary says failure of peace talks ‘disappointing’ and that UK-US relations have undoubtedly been strained * Middle East crisis – live updates Wes Streeting has criticised Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Iran as “incendiary, provocative and outrageous”, and called the failure of US-Iran peace talks “disappointing” but said the success of future negotiations was necessary “in all of our interests”. “As ever in diplomacy, you’re failing until you succeed,” the health secretary told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips on Sky News. “So while these talks may not have ended in success, that doesn’t mean there isn’t merit in continuing to try.” Continue reading...

“We call upon all sides to implement the ceasefire, including in Lebanon.”

A key and important sentence in a welcome joint statement from our government, European countries, Canada and Japan.

My mum messages whenever I speak about poverty - it stays with you forever Labour MP Tom Hayes writes for The Mirror about the importance of scrapping the two-child benefit limit - saying it undoes 'the uncaring right-wing politics of my childhood'

Very good from @tomhayesmp.bsky.social

I never felt more one-of-three when George Osborne announced it, and I feel very one-of-three again today.

Benefits for families with more than 2 children before 6 April 2026 The rules and exceptions that apply if you had more than 2 children before 6 April 2026 and claimed Universal Credit.

Updated today.

'Universal Credit now pays the extra amount for every child, no matter how many children you have.'

Major change for anyone calling in sick to work from today Up to 9.6 million workers are set to benefit from new measures being introduced through the Employment Rights Act

Will never forget talking to care home staff in the pandemic. Desperate for PPE, low paid, and without rights others take for granted. But absolutely determined to use their skills to help people through that horrendous time.

This is for them.

They played well. We missed Ceri Holland imv but managed the game well despite that

Love to score from goal mouth chaos

Yes liverpool

Small mercies

so they're closing the West Coast Main Line for a week, huh? the single line connecting London to four of Britain's next five biggest urban conurbations? that's mad, weird that no one's ever thought to build an alternative route, perhaps even one that runs at a high speed, too. crazy

Not just the law that needs to change but also a culture where it's okay to look down on people.

Grenfell was tragic ‘but everyone dies in the end’, says Reform’s new housing chief Reform UK's Simon Dudley suggested post-Grenfell safety rules have gone too far

Glad that he has gone, but this will have caused a lot of pain, both for all affected by Grenfell, and the Lakanal House fire in Camberwell. Very familiar all this from the years of Hillsborough denialism and worse.

It has certainly made me feel cheerful

The difference a Labour government makes 💪🏼

Getting rid of the 2 child limit is by my calculation worth *£12.5million* per year to Birkenhead's economy.

Over £1m extra a month. Not a small thing when you think about where it will be spent (locally) and by who (parents who have struggled to make ends meet).

Happy April everyone.
