Donโ€™t tell Dan Brown. I fear another terrible novel would quickly be on its way.

Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills.

Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK wonโ€™t be pushed around and call off the Kingโ€™s state visit.

I'm forced to the conclusion that a certain type of pro-Israeli Western Christian doesn't actually see the place as real, and certainly doesn't see the Christians of the Middle East whose lives have been made much, much harder by the policies they back.

It's just a sort of apocalyptic theme park.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off Aprilโ€™s state visit to the US.

A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

We need safe and legal routes for refugees.

George Monbiot explains whatโ€™s often missing in the debate about asylum seekers and refugees: "My worry is that we end up talking about what's good for us and forget about what's good for people."

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraphโ€ฆ howl about the UK being โ€œan irrelevance on the world stageโ€.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

Could you ask each party leader for a response*, to be read out on your programme? Non-responses will be reported and may be regarded as evasion.

* responses should be no more than fifty words, though the simplest and most honest could be just two words, starting with Joe and ending with Biden.

We should be asking British politicians this question. Answers provide a powerful indicator of integrity. Not sure Iโ€™ve ever heard it put to Farage, for example.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

As the BBC has sought to justify its coverage on the basis of opinion polls, can we assume that there has been a pro rata reduction in the amount of time allocated to Reform UK?

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Perhaps the VAR review of the presentation - which must be nearly complete after three months - will disallow it anyway.

Well, itโ€™s not remotely enticing, so I guess they cut out the risk that no one would click through.
The Mailโ€™s front page headline and photo of Farage usually conveys the whole of its main message for the day.

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

The government is too afraid of Farage to say anything sensible or constructive. It just needs a bit of moral courage to voice an alternative message free from the far rightโ€™s narrative.

Playing the victim, as usual. Canโ€™t get a millionaireโ€™s bank account at Coutts - Iโ€™m a victim. Accused of racist bullying by 34 school contemporaries - Iโ€™m the victim here. Lose a by-election to the Greens - weโ€™re the victims.

As long as we have FPTP, it will always come down to which of the top two in your constituency you dislike less. If youโ€™re lucky, you might genuinely support one of the two.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

The misinformation and outright lying in politics comes at least as much from certain politicians outside government, sections of the media and a wide range of social media users. Restricting this law to ministers would give the impression that they are less honest than others, which is untrue.

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.
