Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

Why isn’t EVERYONE pointing this out?

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Funny how an American Muslim candidate is often questioned about extremism, linked to radicalism, and called names by Trump and his ilk. I wonder why they don't ask Jewish American candidates about Israel, the genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, or what lies children in Israel are taught about Muslims?

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

And true to form, Farage and the Tories (Philp) respond by being totally dishonest about it… Freedom of movement with the EU requires EU citizenship. Immigration requires visas. Talk of ‘betrayal’ and ‘uncontrolled migration’ is the mark of a liar or a fool. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

HILLARY CLINTON: "I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump. I continue to believe that he is holding photos, videos, whatever it might be... "When we finally see all the Epstein files, I think even the people who supported Trump are going to be shocked by what it shows about Trump."

Take a moment to remember what we promised Brexit would deliver: a well-funded NHS, less immigration, more jobs, flourishing businesses with no red tape, easy to get on the housing ladder, boom time for farming, fishing and steel industries... I do hope you're enjoying it.

This from the man who hasn't turned up for his day job but is still taking our money. We deserve better than this. We deserve better politicians. Is it time for proper employment terms and conditions for MPs? #Farage #WorkshyFarage

A private security firm, hired by Reform UK and paid for with public money, has been caught abusing teenage girls by handcuffing them illegally. It's just the latest in a long list of cases where it's obvious that Reform UK, and those supporting them, do not wish to protect women and girls...

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

Reporters need to stop tolerating this abuse from this man.

Reform UK insists it will protect the state pension triple lock, a particularly important promise to older voters. So why did the party appoint an economist who had previously argued that the very same guarantee should be abolished?
