Funny that Starmer shared a Times article to announce this policy. The same Times that won't let you cancel your subscription online and forces you to phone up some poor soul who'll spend 15 minutes trying to offer cheaper deals to stop you cancelling

Labour will change the law to stop companies trapping customers in subscriptions they no longer want. My government would take further action to cut the cost of living, freezing council tax this year and lowering energy bills for good.

Meanwhile in Les Républicains, there is a party civil war going on after it's leader declared his intention to ally with Le Pen's National Rally. This is a Republican MP effectively saying his own party's leader would've been a collaborator with the Nazis in 1940 👇

The items in question were apparently luggage straps. And FYI Republic's @GrahamSmith_ is planning on taking legal action. (He's also been responding to the Met's tweets 👇)

This evening three Met police officers visited my home to hand back my phone and the luggage straps. They apologised while wearing a body cam. I made it clear the apology is not accepted as we will be taking further action.

Today a woman in the UK was sentenced to 28 months in prison for inducing an abortion under the Offences against the Person Act 1861. Abortion should be available on demand and without apology. The UK needs to drastically overhaul its abortion laws ASAP.

Spent today writing a video on South Africa's genocide case against Israel and came across so much misunderstanding/misinformation online but this from the Foreign Sec is ridiculous. 'It's for courts to define genocide not states'... yes and that's why SA has gone to the ICJ!
