22 Reform Councillors have already quit because they never wanted to be elected. Each one costs £10,000 as an election has to take place to replace them. All these bills need to be paid by Nigel Farage as he owns the Reform UK company.

We can’t even convict foreign criminals. Nor homegrown ones. Because - and I know ministers like to pretend this isn’t true, but we will keep saying it - the criminal justice system is in absolute meltdown. So maybe address that before making little league tables of which foreign is the baddest.

Moscow seems pleased. One Russian paper today: “Soviet leaders’ dream of driving a wedge between the European part of Nato & the US has come true.” Another: “Trump is destroying the world created by US liberals…the changes in the global system serve [Russia’s] interests.” #ReadingRussia

Speaking directly to Pres. Trump in English, Ukrainian Pres. Zelenskyy says: “You think you understand what's going on here… But, please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of plans for negotiations, come to see the people — civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead.”

The only nation on the planet to create a 'VIP Lane' to funnel money to friends and family of the Conservatives for supplying bogus second hand products at vast profits to themselves was the UK. All the money should be recovered and everybody involved should be in jail.

The Government is going to give £2.5bn to the UK steel industry, for nothing in return. Steel is worth £4-5bn, instead of giving it money for nothing, simply buy it out. They have already received subsidises worth more than their value, and they will again in the next few years

It is abundantly clear that with the current US administration, the UK in any trade deal or quite simply any matter of cooperation, the US will abuse it's position and can not be relied upon to keep to anything. It's time to unshackled ourselves from the US. Time to rejoin the EU without delay.

Putin & Trump have choreographed a scam where Trump will announce tomorrow that he persuaded Putin to allow a Ukrainian army surrounded to return home, and will use that to try to legitimize Putin’s demands so they can blame Ukraine when they don’t accept them. It is all a lie.

So Trump claimed today that Russia has tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded, they would all be dead already if he didn’t get involved, he will save them tomorrow when he talks to Putin, but THERE ARE NO TROOPS SURROUNDED, & tomorrow he will claim he saved them. Wow.

Companies are strongly discouraged from listing another company as their person of significant control on Companies House filings. It goes firmly against transparency guidelines. Reform UK openly flouts this by listing 'Reform 2025 Ltd' as their supposed 'person of significant control'.

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

Almost every assertion of fact and law in Honest Bob Jenrick’s latest far-right-tickling rant is false. But because I’m me, I feel it most important to point out that the statue of Lady Justice above the Old Bailey is famously not blindfolded. As any real lawyer knows.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.
