News about David Lammy

She released a mocked-up picture of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer standing beside a door bearing a 'Welcome' sign, which opened on to a beach in her constituency. 'The facts are clear,' she said in the accompanying press release. 'Labour does not want to stop the small boats. This is Labour's small boat policy. Backing people smugglers over the British people. 'At every opportunity, Labour has voted against the small boats Rwanda Bill. That's why the Government's Stop The Boats Bill is so vital, and why Labour's attempts to undermine it are so dangerous.'

David Lammy (left) yesterday vowed to find 'common cause' with Donald Trump (right) as he performed a U-turn over his stance on the former president. Labour's shadow foreign secretary boasted he has 'many friends in the Republican Party ' and is considered a 'small-C Conservative' in some circles as he insisted he could work with Mr Trump if both are elected this year. He even said Mr Trump's aggressive stance towards Nato members' defence spending was 'often misunderstood' and praised the fact more countries increased spending while he was in office. The comments were in stark contrast to an article Mr Lammy wrote in 2018 for Time magazine in which he branded Mr Trump a 'woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath'.

QUENTIN LETTS: Labour MPs groaned and hissed the moment that Suella Braverman was called to speak during a discussion of Gaza. Mrs Braverman (Con, Fareham) was further ya-booed when she said that Israel should be allowed to 'finish the job' in its war with Hamas. Cries of 'shame' and 'disgrace' and 'finish the job!' volleyed from the Labour benches. It is a fact universally acknowledged that Suella has a genius for making things more explosive. She should sell sparkplugs for a living. Even so, the reaction to her very presence was unusual and it felt performative.

A key Donald Trump ally has accused Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron (pictured right in 2015 as PM with Chinese president Xi Jinping outside 10 Downing Street) of 'panda hugging' China and 'lecturing' Americans. Elbridge Colby (left), a front-runner to be chosen a Trump's national security adviser, also said he would rather work with Labour than the Conservatives, accusing the former Prime Minister of 'foreign interference' in US politics over funding Ukraine. But Mr Colby, who worked in the US defence department when Trump was president, met with shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy, as Sir Keir Starmer ploughs ahead with schmoozing Trump allies.

The balaclava-clad criminal seized the phone in a moment from his startled victim before racing away along a fashionable street near the centre of the capital. The brazen theft follows a series of similar crimes across the city which have prompted fears visitors will steer clear of London for fear of being the next targets. The latest incident happened in Albany Place in Marylebone, near Regents Park, with footage shared and going viral on X, formerly Twitter. The account uploading the clip captioned it with the words of warning: 'Keep your head on swivel when in London.'

Lord Cameron, Foreign Secretary, was in Italy for a G7 foreign ministers' meeting. These meetings have to be held in sun-kissed resorts. It's a security requirement. Back in the House of Commons, MPs were complaining that the government had dead-batted a suggestion from the procedure committee. Its not entirely cerebral supremo Dame Karen Bradley had proposed that parliamentary convention be bent to allow his lordship to be quizzed at the bar of the Commons. The Government's response, not quite in full: 'You must be joking. Get stuffed.'

Scotland Yard said the three were due to appear in court today after being arrested in a north London street last night. Leonorah Ward, 21, and Daniel Formentin, 24, both from Leeds, will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court alongside Zosia Lewis, 23, from Newcastle. They have been charged with harassing a person in their home under Section 42 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, and for breaching court bail, a police spokesman said.

Impropriety charges against Angela Rayner have hung over her for more than six weeks. Since The Mail first revealed evidence of financial mismanagement surrounding her ex-council house's auction, the deputy Labour leader hasn't done anything but stonewall. Colleagues who are trying to make excuses for her silence are becoming desperate. David Lammy, the shadow foreign minister, hit a new degree of absurdity by claiming that she was smeared because she was 'northern'. Just to remind him, the definition of a smear is to damage someone's reputation by false accusations. There are no false accusations here, just plain facts and legitimate inquiries. First, was the house in Vicarage Road, Stockport, Ms Rayner's principal residence when she sold it, or was she really living with her children and husband at his house in nearby Lowndes Lane, as her neighbours and social media posts strongly imply?

David Lammy of Labour is under scrutiny by media watchdog Ofcom for suspected of breaking broadcasting laws on LBC radio last month. On the radio station, Ofcom revealed that a new episode of the shadow foreign secretary's show on the radio station on March 29 was being investigated. The watchdog said, 'We're looking at whether this program broke our laws on journalists appearing as news presenters.' Mr Lammy revealed that Sir Jeffrey Donaldson had resigned as the DUP leader after being charged with historical sexual offences during last month's broadcast. Sir Jeffrey is accused of'strenuously contesting' all charges against him.

David Lammy of Labour defended his party's deputy leader Angela Rayner over her 'complicated' family life in the midst of a simmering debate over her housing arrangements. Despite a bombshell dossier triggering fresh concerns regarding her tumultuous property dealings, the shadow foreign minister insisted that Ms Rayner had "done nothing wrong." Ms Rayner's former housing deals were dismissed as "smears" and said she had 'played by the rules.' Mr Lammy was chastised for Ms Rayner's recent hounding of senior Conservatives, including Rishi Sunak, over their own personal tax dealings. However, Mr Lammy said that the Prime Minister's cabinet had a 'different arrangement and hope for him' than Ms Rayner, who added: "We're not yet in government." Ms Rayner is being pressured to clarify her previous living arrangements in the midst of rumors that she may have avoided paying any taxes in a weeks-long row. She may have made a false representation about where she was living on the electoral registry, amid confusion about her primary residence. Ms Rayner has maintained that for many years her 'principal home' was a house in Stockport, where she claimed to live separately from her husband and children for the first five years of her marriage. However, the Mail on Sunday examined hundreds of Ms Rayner's social media messages during that period revealing her daily life with her children and cats at her husband's house. One of the images from the property she claims was not her principal residence was even released with the caption 'just got home.' The husband's house appears in every case where there is a picture, according to the newspaper.

MP Kearns can be seen on leaked footage saying: 'The Foreign Office has received official notice that Israel has broken international humanitarian law, but the government hasn't reported it.' They hadn't said it; they hadn't stopped arms exports,' she continued. They've implemented a few modest fines on Israeli settlers, and most internationally agree that settlers are unlawful, that they shouldn't be doing what they're doing, and the ways in which they're carrying out and the money that has been invested.'

Shadow foreign minister David Lammy (top right) announced shortly after that he would get in on the act. Lammy, who was attempting to appeal to disillusioned Tory voters, said 'Margaret Thatcher was a visionary king for the United Kingdom.' There's no doubt about it,' - it's absolutely clear.' What a ripoff. Lammy has a long tradition of blasting Mrs T, and even said she had saved his childhood.

Last week, the crème of the British diplomatic community gathered at Winfield House, the elegant residence of US Ambassador Jane Hartley in London's Regent's Park, for a dinner marking former US President Barack Obama's visit to London. Obama led the toasts to America's most admired ally over the fillet of beef with red wine jus and panna cotta. In particular, he singled out one special visitor. 'Obama made a good play by name-checking David Lammy and his wife,' one mandarin who attended the function told me in reference to Labour's Shadow Foreign Minister Stephen Cooper.' It was very noticeable.' David Cameron was there, but it was Lammy who was spending time on it. You will see how the government is now shifting.' Rishi Sunak has reportedly rejected calls for a snap election, indicating that aides will hold on until the fall.

In a speech that Rachel Reeves provoked leftwing outrage with a remark that if Labour wins the election, the shadow foreign minister would learn lessons from the former Prime Minister. They were surprised when Sir Keir Starmer's economic mastermind said for a briefing that if she enters No. 11, they will imitate Thatcher's 1979 win and spark 'a decade of national renewal.' Ms Reeves analogy was "very apposite," Ms Lammy said today on Politico's Power Play podcast, adding: "You can disagree with Mrs Thatcher's recommendations, but she had a big agenda for reform and started a new course that lasted for more than two decades.'

After a local party coerced a venue into canceling a Conservative-run discussion over Kellie-Jay Keen's attendance, Labour has been accused of being "undemocratic authoritarians."

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: If Keir Starmer wins, he may have a difficult time appeasing a resurgent president. "The man is a bigote," prospective foreign secretary David Lammy said once.

JOHN MAIR: For half a century, Britain has been proud of proclaiming the shared values of the 50 or so Commonwealth nations and the underlying links that tie them to the'mother country.' However, the tenacity of those links has never been tested. All this may have changed in a world where El Dorado, the fabled lost city of gold whose vast riches attracted generations of fortune-hunters for decades. Sir Walter Raleigh twice descended on the Orinoco River in search of this mystical wealth, the second time losing his son, also Walter, in a match against the Spanish. Venezuelan tyrant President Nicolas Maduro (left) has staked an unprecedented territorial claim for two-thirds of Guyana, the only English-speaking nation on the continent of South America.
