If the disability cuts were cruel and callous for existing claimants, they’re cruel and callous for future claimants too. This 2 tier system would be totally unacceptable - Labour rebels must stay firm

Leading rebels told the Guardian they had been promised significant changes to the planned cuts which could cost the government several billion pounds over the next few years but look set to shore up the prime minister’s precarious authority.

The MPs standing up to Starmer’s welfare bill aren’t “rebels”. They’re just proper Labour MPs. They’re not protesting they’re acting in accordance with Labour values. It’s a disastrous cruel bodge job and they should bin it. Not because of polling, but basic morality. It isn’t Labour policy.

I don’t want Khamenei to have access to a nuclear weapon. But then I also don’t want Putin, Netanyahu, or Xi Jingping to have access to a nuclear weapon. And I definitely don’t want Kim Jong Un or Trump to have access to a nuclear weapon. The only person I’d trust with one is David Attenborough.

New experiment starts today: I'm releasing a podcast through Substack which is basically just me reading out the column. Although having done one I can already tell I'm going to start veering off topic, god help us.

We know that over 77 million voted Trump and gave him a majority in congress. Almost 90 million couldn’t be bothered to vote! The Trumpers are beyond deplorable. The almost 90 million are the ones I blame the most. You live in a country full of idiots.

Wake up America. The Destroyer in Chief is not only ruining Americans lives, he is contributing to the destruction of the planet. It is time to remove him under the 25th amendment. He is unfit for office.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Who knew that Trump (an admirer of autocrats globally) hiring a bunch of thick as fuck billionaire and millionaires to his cabinet based on blatant nepotism, naked corruption and their ability to generate sensationalism, would result in incompetent idiocy? I, for one, am shocked.

90% of writing happens away from the keyboard. In the shower. On a walk. In the car. Wherever you & your thoughts are alone together, that's when writing happens. If you find yourself stuck, staring at a blinking cursor, unable to find the words, don't be afraid to step away & find somewhere quiet.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

NEW: Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe reported to police by party over alleged threats of physical violence against party chair Zia Yusaf - and has also been accused of bullying staff. He denies claims, which come just 24 hours after he called Nigel Farage the “messianic” leader of a protest party.
