Well said. How many of Tommy Robinson’s Sport’s Direct paramilitary division go and help or worship at the churches they claim they want to protect. It’s much easier to don a balaclava and shout at the RNLI. #HopeNotHate

Hmmm… who to believe… Andy Burnham or the compulsive liar who got sacked twice for lying, lied to Parliament, lied to The Queen, cheated on two wives and ignored the Ministerial Code. Tricky one.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

Rupert must have had a change of heart. I'm sure he used to be all in favour of local people expressing their understandable anger at strange fighting age men suddenly appearing in their community.

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

MPs call for emergency legislation for public control of Thames Water, let govt restore it and resell. Hedge funds want to takeover TW, want exemption from penalties for breaking laws. Neither will do. Profit motive is the cause of the crisis. Need public ownership.

Europe’s strength comes from countries choosing to act together. Today Ursula von der Leyen set out a vision of a Europe with the collective strength to defend its democracy, prosperity and shared future. The UK belongs in that European future.

From a party that plans to *retrospectively* remove basic human rights from those already granted asylum and leave to remain *and* demands we flounce out of the ECHR to control immigration, this is some next level arseholery from Jenrick, Tice and Reform.

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Let me get this right: if you're a retired vicar and peacefully hold up a sign opposing genocide, you're a terrorist. But if 1200 morons put on balaclavas and close half of Dover to stop people *escaping* genocide, police "constructively engage." Is that it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

🚨 If the next general election is held under First Past the Post, it will deliver the most chaotic and unrepresentative results we've ever seen. By then, the damage will be done. But we can still prevent a full-blown democratic crisis. We agree with the Guardian: it's time to act.

I have written to the Cabinet Secretary to seek assurances that the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, who was lobbying for the privatised water industry until recently, has had no involvement in talks about the future of Thames Water.

112 MPs wrote to the Environment Secretary calling for Thames Water to be put into Special Administration ahead of public ownership. Andy Burnham, you promised to bring forward big changes. Start with Thames Water. vist.ly/5f4ya

You may have seen I broadcast a message to planet Earth from the edge of space. I thought it was equally important to speak to deep space about you and your lovely little planet. But I thought humans might like to see it too, so here it is. #Clacton #VoteBinface

Well wouldn’t you know it? The Telegraph is having to report that Britain has suffered the biggest fall in wealth in the world! Who knew that cutting a trading country off from its own economic hinterland would make us poor? #BrexitBrokeBritain #RejoinEU #BrexitDisaster

It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.
