Hard right politics doesn’t work — the start I hope of a trend. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Democracies only work when sufficient people are in possession of the facts, not incendiary, demented comment. What’s happening at the Telegraph should alarm us all. thattimwalker.substack.com/p/a-global-a...

We simply can’t afford not to.

How to make the argument now that Trump is not a Russian asset? Seriously, I challenge someone to have a go.

An administration that revels in death, at home and abroad.

No comment necessary.

It’s the attention to detail and professionalism that characterise this President of the Unites States.

The country is sick to death of Brexit, and, if Burnham can reverse it, every one of us — irrespective of our politics — will owe him.

About time. Since 2016, every government we’ve had has imposed ever higher taxes — and still more draconian cuts to public services — in the full knowledge they have a button they could press that could transform our ailing economy overnight. The button is marked Reverse Brexit.

There may be one or two patriotic millionaires, but there sure as hell aren’t any patriotic billionaires.

The BBC is part of the problem...

‘It is a disgrace @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social is still a member of the House of Lords and holds the Labour whip.’ www.thenational.scot/news/2656172...

Can we please apply the terrorist laws to these masked thugs?

Truly everyone has their price. Watson has sold himself off cheap - no price is too high to work for Palantir

I challenge @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social to return Palantir’s blood money immediately and have some self respect.

Me? I entered politics to do pointless performative crap.

‘When supporters of Israel promote Islamophobia, they are playing with fascist fires that will end up engulfing us all.’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You’ve got to go back to Der Stürmer — another German-owned newspaper, much loved indeed by Hitler — to find a newspaper as hostile to our country and our interests as the Daily Telegraph.

Very good point, Matthew — I remember too the fuss that was made when Obama gently suggested ahead of the EU referendum that Brexit may not be a terribly good idea and the continual commentary on our domestic affairs we are now getting from Trump.

A curious indifference in some quarters to overseas investors buying our politicians.

Instead of using terrorist legislation to arrest harmless elderly women who take exception to seeing children being butchered in Gaza, can we please not deploy it against those who threaten RNLI volunteers and fundamental British values?

To abhor this is to be human, it is not anti-Semitic. Finally, that’s accepted by the government. Now they need to think again about the pro-Palestine protestors sentenced as terrorists.

Christopher Harborne - the Reform mega donor who gave Farage £5m - is suing ex-Reform deputy leader, Ben Habib. The particulars of claim have now been published. And we need to talk about them. 1/

Tbf, no it's not. They're not wearing masks or balaclavas, so they're not *true* patriots. Apparently, real patriotism requires anonymity. 😏

The Chancellor’s optimism and his eagerness to turn the corner on a decade of stagnation and short-term growth spurts has to begin with a stated intention to join the EU, because that is the only long-term plan capable of delivering real change.

🇬🇧 Is this really what it means to be patriotic? To be British? I continue to believe this is a fanatical hard right minority that repulses the overwhelming majority.

On Gaza, you’d think this articulate, intelligent individual from a widely respected organisation would be an interesting talking head for the BBC to platform from time to time, but, oddly enough, I never see her.

I suspect a lot of traditional economically literate Mail readers — certainly those who remember the paper as it once was — would vigorously agree with Burnham on Brexit.

The Green Party has opened the door for Zack Polanski to run in Holborn and St Pancras “Zack has always made it clear he would like to become a London MP”

Why can’t we, as a species, be this kind to our fellow human beings, even if they might look a bit different?

What no one has asked Farage is whether any conditions were attached to Harborne’s £5m ‘gift’. I think it’s in the public interest to find out whether there’s a contract. Definitely one for journalists to ask at Reform’s conference in the week ahead.

In the EU referendum, as Governor of the Bank of England, Carney took a principled and economically literate position in the UK’s best interests. He’s now making decisions on the same basis for Canada in relation to Trump. We should follow his example. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

‘When Trump bombed Iran, Farage urged Keir Starmer to have British forces join the campaign…’ What do British lives matter when there’s £5m for the taking? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The monetisation of hatred.

Farage involving the police in his lies again.

Snowflake.

Climate change — who saw that coming? Literally no one at the Telegraph.

These so-called free speech champions turn out to be bullies and thugs. Who’d have thought it?
