Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love. Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

The PM is doing the right thing increasing defence spending - I have been callling on the govt to do this for years. Cutting international aid is cutting soft power and piling up problems for the future as Putin and Xi fill the gap left by Britain.

That's why we set out plans to get to 2.5% by increasing the Digital Services Tax. And we must go further, with talks across the House to build that consensus for 3%.

The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

For three years, Ukraine's brave people have stood strong against Putin’s war machine. We're at a turning point, what happens next will shape Europe for generations. Now, more than ever, we must stand by our Ukrainian friends.

We need real action. Let's unite with our European neighbours against Trump’s dangerous stitch-up with Putin. And let's use the £40 billion in frozen Russian assets held by the UK and Europe to give Ukraine the support it needs.

Shame on Trump for his betrayal of Ukraine. Zelensky should never have been put in this position. But these words show he is the exact opposite of Trump: a selfless, patriotic, true leader.

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

Headline: Musk Accuses Ukraine leader Zelensky of 'feeding off the dead bodies of soldiers' in vicious rant on X

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

Time for Britain to increase defence spending to 2.5% as quickly as possible. Politicians should get around the table to look at going to 3% of GDP. The question is not whether we do this - it's what happens if we do not.

“We’ve never really valued care or carers. We don’t treat family carers properly and don’t give them support when they’re struggling, and we don’t value care workers.” Thank you

Lib Dem Leader Sir Ed Davey: ‘Care Homes Are at Breaking Point’ |...

Liberal Democrat leader, Sir Ed Davey, is among nearly 6 million people in the UK who know the harsh realities of being a carer. Having looked after his mum ...

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

You seem unusually quiet there

@Nigel_Farage

any thoughts?

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies. x.com/realDonaldTrum…

When the PM visits the White House next week, he must challenge Trump on his Ukraine lies in the strongest possible terms. It's alarming to see the leader of the free world parroting Putin's propaganda. Trump spoke in Mar-a-Lago but his words could have been written in Moscow.

BREAKING: My team have uncovered shocking new data - a record 20 million people waited 4 weeks or more to see their GP last year. That's just wrong.

The Chancellor’s misguided policies have put the economy at risk of a new era of stagflation. The Government's jobs tax and refusal to drop their red lines on a UK-EU Customs Union have snuffed out growth, and now people are being hit in the pocket.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States and the Spokesperson for Vladimir Putin. Only we in the UK and Europe will protect Ukraine.
