Very strange that all the press are using lovely smiley photos of Paul Doyle rather than the traditional brutal police mugshots.

The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.

The eurosceptic right no longer wants to destroy the EU, but run it. This was inevitable and in many respects an own goal by the Tories. Britain would be incredibly powerful in the bloc right now.

I made a video essay explaining why, in my view, Israel is committing genocide under international law. I hope this helps frame the issue a little bit better and explain why there is a consensus among academics that this is indeed a genocide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmCl...

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.

Indeed I did. He missed the Brexit reset debate & had his trotters up in Nice last week despite the scheduled recess being this week. I predicted that a lucrative US trip would turn out to be the reason. Call me Nostradamus.

What should frighten us all is that this is not common knowledge. This explicitly anti-life ideology is being successfully enacted in the US right now, and without unified pushback it will spread.

The Secretary of State of a government that has repeatedly harassed Americans for exercising their free speech rights just announced "a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans." This is aimed at Europe and Brazil.

Remember when it was ‘woke’ for students to object to a speaker or two being invited to their campus. I wonder how all the ‘anti-woke’ warriors will bullshit their way around what is actually being done in their name?

"What I don’t need, yeah, is: thank you Steve, for all you did on Brexit, right, here’s how to apply for a mid-ranking job in a corporate, because as soon as they Google "Brexit Hard Man Steve Baker", they know who I am and they don’t want me"

You do have to feel a bit sorry for Steve Baker. He put in the hard yards on Brexit and yet Dan Hannan, Matthew Elliott, Michael Gove, Gisela Stuart, Kate Hoey, Chris Grayling and others got the peerages. A load of others got knighthoods. Steve Baker, nothing.

Let’s open Twitter and check the default feed, as a large number of Brits and public figures and the leader of the opposition will also do this morning! A strange mix of absolute certainty the Liverpool attack was false flag, Islamophobia, soft porn, and Christiano Ronaldo updates.

An incredible and very funny clip. He's got nothing: no intelligence, no comprehension, no structured thought. Just the angry bitter wailing of his empty mind. What an embarrassment he truly is, and how embarrassed his advocates should be for promoting him.

Not main point but very revealing that Laura Kuenssberg keeps on talking about the "child benefit cap" in tax credits (it's Universal Credit, and has been for most claimants for some time). Reflects both very poor briefing and her complete ignorance of the topics she asks questions about..
