Nice one 👌🏼 If you ever have another opportunity, could you ask him or Healey (or cabinet MP) if that Covid corruption Tsar will finally be appointed - or explain why not. On paper, it seems to be simplest way to assist filling the coffers unhindered & in the background Thanks, much appreciated.

Well, looky here… 👀

🚨 Cal Roscow, B4B Director of Campaigns: "We relied on from people from other parts of Europe to fill some of those vacancies, particularly hospitality and retail." 🇪🇺 "That works in both directions. Our young people have been robbed of the opportunity to gain skills another EU country"

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.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Today, Oxford Street got its sparkle back. A street once dominated by traffic is becoming a place for people to spend time, meet, explore and enjoy.

Is she running a data centre in her lounge? #StopReform #Cruella

Number crunching: Royal Mail From the latest Private Eye, out now.

Elon Musk not only controls the satellite systems that the Ukrainian army - and other European armies - rely upon, he also controls the algorithms that govern a large swathe of the European information space. Europe needs to decouple from this clear and present threat to their security. My latest

To everyone getting their knickers in a twist… All because @andyburnham.bsky.social suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement …do you perhaps need reminding of this?

Last night, the nation’s high street went traffic-free - just in time for Christmas.

A slowly-dying Far Right party.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most

Our polling shows 63% of people support freedom of movement with the EU. Andy Burnham's catching up with the country on this. Watch @pimlicat.bsky.social on Politics Live 👇

For 7 years Meghan was the "heartless daughter”… She stayed silent while our disgusting press gave her endless abuse And probably because she trusted the Met to do its job …and somehow she's still the one getting the blame?!

3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail.

Thank you to the hundreds of devoted supporters who were there to cheer me on at the press conference today.

Every argument you need to hear about why the UK must pursue EU membership, in 90 seconds. @pimlicat.bsky.social on Politics Live 👏

The Reform leader was forced to address the embarrassing turnout at London's Lindley Hall on Monday afternoon.

Susanna Reid, "Why have you brought up rejoining the European Union?" Andy Burnham, "We have a decade of experience now looking back at Brexit, and I don't think it has played out as people said at the time"

Russian ballistic missiles struck campus territory, a park and a metro station. There are killed and wounded. Russian terror is constant, they are killing people daily. Ukraine needs air defense!

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

did you guys think this would make him seem less cool somehow or what

Flavio Bolsonaro crying after losing the election. I hope that cheered up your day.

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅

Cities are defined by the choices they make about space. Today, London chose people. Oxford Street's transformation is under way.

I've seen more punters at a tripe auction.

YES. (But let's hope it doesn't take quite that long.)

New details about another rape allegation against Trump, this time from a former Miss Switzerland.

NEW: Trump is a Russian asset. And the UK government is finally waking from its decade-long slumber Read this. And order a wind-up radio. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-dark-t...

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

I was actually the first to vote in this! 😂 I saw The Sun post the article on Threads… Why don’t you add your vote too? 👉👉 www.thesun.co.uk/news/4081059...

Solar is booming.

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, then "performative pietism" is surely the panic room inside.

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

Despite Lula solidly winning the Brazilian Presidential runoff, his Far Right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro is describing the result as “inexplicable” and calling for the election to be annulled. A preview for the US Midterms.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

🇪🇺🇷🇸 Ursula von der Leyen: The people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future. Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections. We stand ready to support reforms on the rule of law, media freedom, the fight against corruption…

I've always believed Oxford Street could be so much more than a road. Today we begin a new chapter as the nation’s high street goes traffic free, creating a place where people can spend time, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the very best of our city.

Yes 👏 Finally, a Prime Minister being honest about the damage Brexit has done - and the only real option on the table. EU membership. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e36kyk1qx5o
