This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. It is - as Iraq was for Blair - the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. No Labour MP who backs this will be forgiven.

Rachel Reeves used the "things have changed" excuse to justify her vicious cuts today... and yet she changed neither her fiscal red lines, nor Labour's attitude to Brexit. Make no mistake. It was a CHOICE to hit the pockets of those least able to take the hit.

Vile.

Remember that there is nothing inevitable about this - it’s a political choice. And the fact that it’s a Labour government making that choice frankly beggars belief. Did Labour voters really vote for this?👇

I keep thinking this lot can’t go any lower, but they always do. Honour, integrity, character, dignity, self-respect, respect for country, service, count for nothing. Greed, ambition, entitlement, arrogance. No shame. No limits. No principles. They debase everything. I despise them.

Reform is imploding, with serious allegations against Rupert Lowe, emotional denials, possible hatchet jobs from team Farage and highly undignified infighting. Meanwhile, I’m just sitting here LAUGHING MY ARSE OFF.

With Lowe’s whip withdrawn, the proportion of Reform MPs jailed for viciously assaulting a woman now stands at 25%.

This is the MOST DELICIOUSLY EMBARRASSING THING you will see all week, if not all month. Richard Tice car crash in Scotland. He doesn't know the full names of the two Reform UK defectors or which council they are from. It truly deserves to go viral.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Genuinely barking mad. Wildly delusional and stratospherically arrogant nonsense from someone who will never be Prime Minister and whose party is becoming terminally unpopular in its relentlessly stupid efforts to be divisively populist.

It’s impossible to convey how bad it is in US. No agency, or programme spared. Administration bulldozing the constitution. Congress supine. Courts too slow. Officials terrified, their life’s work trashed, careers ended, expertise gone. Damage around world. US reputation and partnerships destroyed.

This sad-sack cunt is about to get a brute lesson in reality. Canada is a proud, brilliant country. It'll never be subsumed into the US. Instead Trump is going to damage his own economy and crater his support.

Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

Trump’s return only reinforces the need for Europe to strengthen its resilience & strategic autonomy in an increasingly unpredictable world. The UK needs to be part of that. There’s not a single challenge we face that wouldn’t be easier to address as part of the EU @europeanmovement.co.uk

Random observation of a single mature man. Two or three times a week I cook passionately! Then eat reluctantly. Still cook for five. It's the cooking that feels 'home' and human. The eating alone is, well, dispiriting. Perhaps breaking. Wasting food is my biggest upset.

Oakeshott, who recently emigrated to Dubai with her children, explaining how "integrating" there was "not really challenging" as it is "90pc expats", beams in to complain about too many immigrants in London. Could not make it up. ~AA

Power through the self importance and the ghoulish pomposity of this paragraph, and at the end there’s that little racist kicker. This is not THE COUNTRY THE KILLER COMES FROM DID I MENTION HE WAS FOREIGN

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday. And they all hate regulation…

Thought I’d cheer myself up by listening to a podcast about the rise of the Nazis. “Hitler believed himself to be chosen by God to make Germany great again”. So glad we all learned to stop giving people like that power.

Happy to say that I haven’t watched one minute of the inauguration, nor even looked at some of the pictures because I have been giving a lecture this evening. Now catching up with Musk’s behaviour. And (this does not happen very often, ask any of my friends), I don’t know what to say.

Some on the British right are all jostling to get retweeted by Elon Musk - to the point where nothing else matters. It's as dignified as a naked mud slide at a vodka promotion... but then Mackenzie didn't have much in the first place

I’ve been investigating child sexual exploitation for 12 years, and commissioned other journalists to do so, while Laurence Fox was swanning around on TV and stage. He doesn’t care about victims. He’s exploiting CSE for his own daft ends
