In what way does this prove that?
We had an amendment written with a proposer, seconder & speakers ready to go. Sadly, because your boys ran away we couldn’t table it.
Come on Stephen, surely you’ve got better things to be doing than defending the indefensible on Twitter.
I’m afraid @RowanRee cannot claim @HFLabour were always going to debate @HFConsCllrs motion. Here’s the video evidence showing them withdrawing all their speakers! 👇
No we didn’t. We had speakers on all the motions & had councillors ready to discuss yours, but couldnt because you ran away.
What is pathetic is that you can’t turn up to do the job you’ve been elected to do
Again, I spoke at length about this at the meeting & you said nothing
Filibuster?
If you’d stuck around to hear the speeches you wouldn’t be saying that. That’s pretty appalling.
I spoke at length about the council’s finances, and you all sat in silence.
You’ve been given so many opportunities to speak about this, but you have nothing to say.
Liam, the meeting finished half an hour early. There was plenty of time to debate your motion, but you lot just wanted to get to the pub.
What is SHAMEFUL is that you have no interest in SEND provision, VAWG, or veterans services. The people who elected you deserve better.

Today I met Ukrainian children and families affected by Russia's brutal aggression.
Their courage is extraordinary. The UK's support for Ukraine remains unwavering.

Here's an extract from my new book Betrayal, about how Russian spies infiltrated Nigel Farage's party. It tells the inside story of Nathan Gill, a former UKIP MEP, now in jail, who accepted £££ in bribes to make pro-Russian speeches. Thanks @thenerve_news thenerve.news/p/luke-harding…

Since May’s elections, new Green councils have put gesture politics above serving their residents.
Great article on the reality of governing & how Green councillors have chosen to spend their first 100 days in office.

81 years since Victory over Japan Day.
We remember all those who served in the Far East, and honour the courage, resilience and sacrifice of that generation.
At the budget, @JohnHealey_MP should show not tell on fiscal credibility.
Tweaking fiscal rules may free up some cash, but at what cost? Setting out how he’ll fund future spending will reassure investors & cut borrowing costs.

Happy Birthday to us 🎉 We're 933 years old today!
On 11 August 1093, the first stone was placed by the then Bishop of Durham, William of St Calais, and 40 years later it was complete!
From riverside pints to brilliant beer gardens, if you fancy some “vertical drinking” this weekend come to Hammersmith & Fulham.
We’ve got some of Britain’s best pubs.

In Feb, Infantino asked Laura McAllister what she’d say at UEFA’s Congress if she was him on stage. “Get more women in decision-making spaces.”

Today I’m announcing a major investment in our nuclear deterrent, supporting 22,000 apprenticeships.
Keeping this country safe is the first responsibility of any government - but security isn’t just about what we build, it’s about who builds it.
The submarines produced in Barrow protect us all, the jobs and apprenticeships they create change lives.
This is Britain - reindustrialised.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The funding was originally announced in the Defence Investment Plan under former PM Keir Starmer earlier in 2026, with the work on the DIP having started a year prior, before Burnham was even an MP.
