Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

Remembering Jo Cox today and always. It’s easy to trot out the soundbite - “more in common” - but it’s hard to live it. I am trying every day - to listen to people who differ from me, to build bridges with people who see the world differently, to find common cause for good where I can

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Temba Bavuma is one of my favourite players. Admittedly in part because he's a short king. But also generally a very impressive person and a great batsman.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Surprisingly mealy-mouthed responses from commentators with pretty obvious axes to grind. With friends like these… well, good luck to any centre-left party.

You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area. It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

President Trump just floated sanctioning Ukraine for fighting back against Russia's aggression. America deserves a leader, not a president who bows to Putin, and every lawmaker should condemn this.

Nearly 20 years ago today I met George & Iris Lavis. They met on the Normandy invasion beaches. She landed a week after D-day, one of 12 women aboard a landing craft. He waved her ashore & shouted "what are they sending bloody women for when we need ammunition & supplies!" Then they fell in love

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Cognitive dissonance is one hell of a drug. Truss is entirely unable to accept that she screwed up her time as PM in such spectacular fashion that she’ll be a historical footnote. So to preserve her self-image she’s had to create this conspiracy narrative, which is now self-reinforcing.

Yesterday, I was told that the North, the Midlands and Scotland bankroll spoiled, rich London. I wake up to to be informed that London has no poverty. Should I, then, also accept that Donald Trump did, indeed, win the 2020 US election and that both Elvis and Lord Lucan are still alive?

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

I think one thing today demonstrates is that the day we just ignore Boris Johnson, can't come soon enough. Let him flail about at the edge of the stage, embarrassing himself like the class clown who has lost his audience.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.
