"His Commons appearances are infrequent, his extracurricular activities prolific, his party’s internal culture chaotic and its plans to 'fix' Britain largely theoretical and uncosted". And yet mainstream media consistently give him a free pass. Easy mode, indeed! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Britain just had its warmest spring ever (in recorded history) and the driest in over 50 years. Drought is surely coming. We need publicly owned water companies, more green energy, electric travel and to eat less meat. buff.ly/bfoSUks

There's lots of talk about how to deliver growth at the moment. So it's worth remembering that Best for Britain/Frontier Economics research shows that a 'Commin Sense' Deal with the EU would deliver up to 1.5% GDP growth, even with Trump imposing tariffs. commonsensedeal.com

Thinking today (and frankly, always) of Grenfell tower. Of the 72 people who lost their lives, their bereaved families, survivors and all those impacted by the fire. Justice must be served.

Says the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, then killed thousands during Covid by being a dithering fool, then threw away his massive majority because he couldn't follow his own rules. Sit down and shut up you useless tit.

Trump has used roughly 2,000 seasonal immigrant workers at Mar-a-Lago and other golf clubs since 2008. His winery has hired 31 this year alone. Even as his administration is working to deport thousands every single day. https://trib.al/h7R8zLt

The Spending Review keeps getting better. This time, a funded support package to ensure the poorest children do not go hungry during the school holidays. The £1bn of funding for crisis support through local councils across the whole country includes holiday food funding for children.

Been a full on week for Labour. I’ve gathered just a few highlights. Most important in my view, is Mone. Being held accountable for her failed PPE supply. I hope we get our money back. Daylight robbery under Labour does not pay

Reform play games. They are not committed. They want the power, but don't want to do the work. Reform are letting people down just weeks after their first major success - because they are work-shy.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch calls for end to windfall tax on oil/gas companies. They have been making record profits, fuelling inflation & poverty. Tory silence on tackling poverty, no remorse for two child benefit cap, austerity, privatisations, destroying the NHS and public services.

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up exactly how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

London has benefitted massively from ULEZ and you have to salute Sadiq for pushing it through in the face of stiff opposition from the boring old climate change deniers and the right wing media.
