“Immigration, mostly from outside the EU, surged due to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal. Net migration rose from 184,000 in 2019 to 906,000 in 2023. It was a gift to Nigel Farage” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/the...

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 asking for defence after 9/11 As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help

This is brilliant! Lie upon lie upon lie! Putin, Musk, Trump et al, deny Russia’s illegal invasion and murderous attempted annihilation of the Ukrainian people!

Trump calling for elections in Ukraine because there's nothing Putin likes more than interfering in them.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Dark irony reaches a new, low as Trump parrots Putin in calling Zelensky “a dictator.” In today’s News Agents we answer: why does Trump want to regurgitate Kremlin talking points? Why is a Russia/US axis emerging? What is really going on here? Listen now. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

This is kinda frightening. We are in denial. The analysis here is stark. Goodall… “At the moment, the American president cannot say that. I don't think the West really exists in the form that we have known it for 80 years. And that is massive. I think yesterday was massive.”

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics. Putin's best week in years.

On LBC this morning, I spoke about why we should be far more worried the power Elon Musk is accruing, especially in light of his Open AI moves. The normalisation of his actions and activity by quite a bit of the US and even UK media is a big part of the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnt...

The pressure applied on the Government on leasehold reform should be applied exactly as @lewisgoodall.com has just done with Pennycook. Again, more bureaucracy and delay. Crack on with it!

Lewis “should he resign as an MP” Pennycook “it’s not for me speculate”. Please give a straight answer! Of course he should resign, just say that!! This robotic talk is exactly why labour is where it is. Boring, bureaucratic and technocratic! Talk like real prople!! @lewisgoodall.com @lbc.co.uk

Goodall to Cooper “what does it say about these tech companies respect for Government, but also, for the families of victims”. Cooper “we may need to go further” yes, yes you do. This fear of Musk is infuriating! The idea that this vile material is sill out there is abhorrent!

Give this is a listen. Trump’s reaction is repugnant but somehow this different to what we’ve come to expect… harsher, nastier and shows a total lack of empathy and compassion for the loss of human life.💔 for the families @lewisgoodall.com @jonsopel1.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Nigel Farage tells me that Elon Musk’s defence of Tommy Robinson is "not problematic at all" and though he was "surprised" that all of the Jan6th criminals were pardoned by Trump, he agrees that "some" are "political prisoners."
