Wes Streeting goes furthest yet for a govt minister on Elon Musk’s posts about Keir Starmer & Jess Phillips on grooming gangs. “If he wants to roll his sleeves up and actually do something about tackling violence against women and girls, then online platforms, whether X or others, have got a role to play”. He says PM and Phillips have been on receiving end of “completely ill judged and ill founded criticism” & had done more than most in their professional lives “to lock up pedophiles, rapists, wife beaters and every other kind of scumbag in our society”. @bbclaurak

This’ll turn things round for him.
8 years ago today, I proudly voted for Brexit. While we delivered on the will of the people, Keir Starmer tried to reverse your vote. That’s the difference between us.

I don’t think you’re in a position to pass judgement on who is and isn’t fit to be PM.

Rotten that David Davies is claiming credit for the Magor and Undy Walkway Station campaign in his latest leaflet. @jessicamordenmp has been doing excellent work and @CatherineFookes would proudly continue this work as your MP for Monmouthshire. – at Wales, United Kingdom
Thanks for the kind words, Ted 🚆 It’s been great to be able to support the MAGOR group in their campaign for a walkway station at Magor and Undy over the last 9 years. If elected on July 4th, I know the brilliant Catherine Fookes will continue this work.

I am deeply shocked and saddened by what has happened today. I am clear and have been clear that I did not, nor have I ever leaked anything. Integrity is all in politics and I retain mine. 1/2 🧵

Incredibly strong contender for underrated tweet of the week…
Hi, ⁦@MailOnline⁩ - Fuck off. I don’t want to be in your poisonous website. I don’t want my private life stolen by your creepy cameramen. And I don’t want my wife subjected to the Pinot Grigio sodden abuse from your tragic and unhappy readers. dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar…

With a hop & a skip Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt deliberately avoids “Brexit” in his list of things battering the UK economy…right in the middle of a news & data deluge on how Brexit is battering the UK economy RT to let him know we haven’t suffered mass amnesia

My view today, the one on the right is a Maserati the one on the left is a Porsche. No judgement here but I’m sure they can afford the pay&display behind the big church more than I can afford the obstruction. The Maserati hasn’t moved for 2 days. @gwentpolice
A quick update on the illegal parking situation outside my studio and on Monk Street, Abergavenny in general. It’s now Christmas Eve Eve, and the problem during December was awful, this is today, pedestrians are entitled to every inch of that pavement. 1/3

Fostering is such an important role ! As this post states a warm welcome can make all the difference!
A warm welcome can mean the world to a child in emergency foster care. In just a short space of time you can create a lasting impression. Everybody can bring something to the table when it comes to local authority fostering. Find out more fosterwales.monmouthshire.go…

I stayed in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem for several weeks in 1994, while writing From the Holy Mountain. I regularly used to hear armed Settlers shouting "Death to the Arab," as they passed along the outer walls, smashing windows and breaking into shops. Now the Settlers have seized a chunk of the Patriachate that has been Armenian land since the 4th century. The Patriach writes that the Christian presence is under "existential threat."
