Keir Starmer underlines at #PMQs that President Zelenskyy is a democratically elected leader. And that suspending elections was exactly what the UK did during the Second World War, due to the difficulty of holding elections during wartime when so many citizens are displaced.

Leaving the ECHR could result in the UK’s trade deal with the EU being terminated because the convention is written into the 2020 Trade & Co-operation Agreement & would also breach the Good Friday Agreement which requires the Convention be directly enforceable in Northern Ireland

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

This is tediously stupid now… Really. Just stop with the idiotic headlines and the swagger and the EUphobic chest-thumping. Brexit is a shitshow. You know it. We know it. Even Trump might know it. Pipe down. Accept that you ballsed it. And leave us to deal with the embarrassing mess you all made.

The Labour government is banning neonicotinoid pesticides, due to harm to bees and pollinators. Though allowed for emergencies like sugar beet, it’s now a full ban. Green groups back it, but farmers must adapt. It’s about protecting nature and fixing biodiversity loss. #ukpolitics

This is a slow-motion road crash. Labour needs to acquire the ruthless survival instinct of the Tories. Find a safe seat soonest for Andy Burnham - not simple given his current gig, but resolvable. Starmer is Labour’s Biden and needs to be ditched.

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t”
