Sure, but the IDF shot the head off one of your colleagues three years ago then openly lied to you about it, and you did nothing. One of their snipers blew out the brains of a guy ITV were talking to, who was holding a white flag, the second the camera was switched off. And it was no big deal.

Ukraine did something that the US and Europe failed to do for nearly half a century, it crippled Russia’s ability to launch nuclear weapons and long range strikes. At least one arm of Russia’s nuclear trident was destroyed. Ukraine did that, on its own, successfully. Have you said thank you yet?

No, you muppet. The main challenger is the vast number of people who are deeply disappointed in your government. You fail to address their concerns while indulging in directionless blue #McWankery that impresses nobody and legitimises Farage's agenda. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There aren't enough affordable properties in the UK for every family under the Benefit Cap. At our event, @aaronreeves.bsky.social explained how the policy has therefore failed to incentivise families to find cheaper accommodation.

As one of the UK’s leading sleep-deprived obsessives on nursery fees… I’m not sure people without small kids know about a blatantly scammy tax trick that’s spreading fast. People are paying nursery fees out of pre-tax income on the condition parents pretend to “help manage” the nursery.

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the videogames industry is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

What George doesn't understand is that in the UK, we decided in 2020 that 'governing' was actually a tedious distraction from 'speculating about, and positioning for, the next general election'. It's core to our culture and it is very disrespectful to criticise it.

Quite a thing - as any student of judicial politics will tell you - for a letter to be signed both by former supreme court justice Jonathan Sumption and by former appeal judge Stephen Sedley. They are about as far apart in their judicial outlooks as possible. lawyersletter.uk#signatories

After a speech slamming migrants, the PM is rebuked by 15 bishops and religious leaders. You can’t play the statesman in Brussels one day and stoke fear at home the next. The two stories won’t co-exist. This and more from @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social

I don’t want to live in a world where somebody drives a car into a crowd of people who just want to celebrate their football team. And I don’t want to live in a world where the police have to specify that person is white & British to stop hotels & mosques being firebombed.

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

17 years on, the Tories still paint the £45 billion bailout of RBS as a once in a lifetime economic disaster that proves Gordon Brown was a terrible PM. Brexit costs just as much every 19 months. Tories spent last week demanding we keep it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I can't even. How about removing the cap not because of how it plays politically but because it will bring tens of thousands of children out of poverty? Fucking hell. Winning power should be about helping people not running scared of losing power.
