When even your whips won’t whip or vote for a Bill, you must surely pause and rethink. The Welfare Bill is cruel. It is morally wrong, economically illiterate and politically naive. Bravo this woman, that’s what leadership looks like 👇

It's quite remarkable that the elite of the British right has chosen now as the moment to go blood-and-soil. When the actual public have probably never been as un-racist as they are.

Feels like quite a few people have been waiting their whole lives for the moment when being openly racist in print is no longer career ending and are determined to make the most of it.

I see a lot of Conservative right wing Brexiters pointing out a number of factors behind British economic decline. Quite amazingly they omit the biggest factor, and the one they were responsible for. Brexit @anthonybarnett.bsky.social

Today in 1215 King John reluctantly affixed his seal to Magna Carta, a document which placed restrictions on his royal power. It has come to represent the centuries long battle to restrain capricious, insane, despotic leaders. That's a work in progress

Agree with Kevin. I think there’s a big chunk of the UK right now- and certainly all of the bits which control institutions- that are in complete denial a) about our ageing population and b) what the policy implications of the political choices they made 2010 to 2024 and indeed since are.

The number of women wearing the burqa is tiny. The vast majority of Muslim women wear their hair out, wear make up & western clothing. But hey.The burqa helps conceal the racism, the attempts at division, power, control and ratings. The obsession with it is like a sickness that won’t go away.

This is why the BBC should be restructured to become a bastion of objective truth. Ros Atkins and BBC Verify should be viewed as (nice) viruses that spread and consume everything else. Leave "heated debates" to others. Lord knows we need a factual anchor in this brave new world.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.
