The Daily Mail has for a long time been protecting a senior journalist who it knows to be a sexual predator. We are helping his victims get justice by suing the Daily Mail - and him. goodlaw.social/24jb

Who do Britons think would make the best prime minister? Keir Starmer vs Kemi Badenoch: Starmer +11 Keir Starmer vs Nigel Farage: Starmer +10 Keir Starmer vs Ed Davey: Starmer +8 Kemi Badenoch vs Nigel Farage: Tie Kemi Badenoch vs Ed Davey: Davey +9 Nigel Farage vs Ed Davey: Davey +5

Yes, the US in on this chart. Can you find it?

This is astonishing. I wonder what or who changed Canadians minds between January 26th and January 27th? 🍊

An update with latest data available for graph of life expectancy vs health care expenditures per capita for 20 countries and one outlier.

Kay Burley exposed Richard Tice as a delusional con-artist today and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍 😍

πŸ”₯ β€œA stunning three out of four of the 18 to 25-year-olds, who mostly did not have a chance to vote in the referendum, think leaving was a mistake.”

GBeebies visiting really Brexity areas to find anyone who thinks it was a good idea. It's not going well. "I really struggle to think of anything positive that's come out of it. A lot of people that I speak to said that if they had the choice again, would vote to stay." ~AA

At PMQs I challenged the Prime Minister to drop his opposition to a new UK-EU customs union. With Donald Trump threatening trade wars, we should rebuild ties with our European neighbours and tear down the trade barriers and red tape hurting British businesses.

I can be as critical as anyone of the government's occasionally muddled message on growth but Look! At! This! Chart!! Anything they've done pales next to this GIGANTIC UNFORCED ERROR COMMITTED IN 2016! (fagpacket maths follows) on.ft.com/4hzyvbJ

"Economic uncertainty stemming from the UK’s decision to leave the EU has deepened investment struggles ... Investment may have been 10% lower than expected, potentially reducing productivity and GDP by over 1%." And some want to *celebrate this* on Friday? ~AA media.ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/u...

This week's Internet winner goes to...

We really should do something to recognise 'Daniel Hannan Day' e.g. Self-flagellation and Morris Dancing.

Just your New Year reminder that public ownership is hugely popular ❀️ #NewYear #PublicOwnership

I am deeply concerned the social care review second phase is not due to report until 2028. The care system crisis is absolutely urgent. Yesterday, I pushed the Govt on their plans to reform the care sector, urging them to speed up the process and ensure older people have the dignity they deserve.

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously. In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about Β£60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today. Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister? Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it. Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

The staggering cost of Brexit to Britain: the numbers, 5 yrs on.

Reminder of a recent poll: a majority "may accept free movement to access EU single market".

Sitting down to compose a hopeful message for 2025 is a tough ask given the year we’ve just had. Even glib sentiments are hard to come by. The defeat of pro-democracy forces in the US presidential election still weighs like a heavy anchor on my attempts to move on. 1/11

This has miles... Worth a try with a few knuckledraggers, If nothing else, it'll amuse me ..

"analysis of Thames Water’s accounts shows that there has never been a year since privatisation when shareholders contributed more cash than they took out."

Liberal Democrats have always led the fight for fair votes. As we have done for a century, we will continue to fight for electoral reform to make sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.

My name is Greg. Sometimes people erroneously add an extra β€˜g’ on the end of my name. Up until now I’ve always let it go as being unimportant. Not any more.

This #FamilyBusinessWeek I'm celebrating Burns the Bread, a Glastonbury institution & family firm since 1983, with 3 generations at the helm. Visit one of their 6 shops across #Somerset & sample their top notch bread. What an excellent local family business success story. tinyurl.com/ynyn39fp

Nigel Farage loves open borders - for the super rich youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?...

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧡

MPs face a difficult vote on assisted dying this week. This is a serious and complex issue. However, the β€˜slippery slope’ argument is the same one used by the priests at my school when teaching us that abortion was wrong. It was also used by some arguing against equal marriage a few years ago.

This brings back memories

I feel so much cleaner πŸ˜‰
