All of the major U.K. party leaders have now issued statements about the Trump-Zelenskyy fallout except for Nigel Farage. He has been tweeting tonight but not about this.

This Labour government’s new deal with GPs will help end the 08.00 scramble for appointments, and make sure doctors can focus on what they do best - treating patients.

Excellent points from my Labour colleagues here, who really do know what they are talking about in terms of what it takes to defend Britain, our allies and ensure we safeguard our way of life The last few weeks have really shown up Reform’s phoney clickbait ‘patriotism’ for the dangerous sham it is

The US press is indeed pathetic--but part of what makes them so pathetic is that they have been so self-important for so many years, bur when push comes to shove and the rubber hits the road, it turns out they are a bunch of opportunistic cowards, from the top down.

This is big. Far-right troll site Guido Fawkes has always claimed it isn't subject to UK libel law as it's officially offshore. Today it conceded that it defamed Dale Vince, making clear it it's subject to UK law. No more dodging scrutiny. Staines will have to play by the rules like the rest of us.

Guido Fawkes used a doctored news clip to smear my reputation and it snowballed into a right wing pile on involving the Daily Mail, GB News, three Tory MPs, one Peer, Richard Tice and Paul Staines.

Sigh…..😞 Another day, another wildly misleading Daily Mail headline. I mean, it certainly would be headline worthy if police had turned up and accused her of committing a crime by writing innocent FB posts. But that's not what happened… 🧵 1/

Looks like not a single one of Reform UK's five MPs made it into the Commons for David Lammy's update on a momentous week for Ukraine. (Two of them were present for the UQ on electric cars minutes before, but then left the chamber).

The UK PM addressed a meeting of world leaders to mark the 3rd anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He paid tribute to Zelenskyy's leadership and spoke of the UK's support for Ukraine. He spoke of the need for increasing pressure on Russia & how all need to work together for peace.

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

Now that Reform have been given enough time to show us who they are in Parliament, their voting record can be used against them. Here Starmer is doing that. I believe it was from a speech he gave today in Scotland.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

The Andrew Neil chapter in How They Broke Britain may yet prove to be the most relevant to what lies ahead. By giving a veneer of respectability to base racism & nativist bigotry, him & Fraser Nelson literally made this stuff mainstream. Interesting just how uncomfortable the latter looks here.
