Here’s why I have been so quiet these last 9 months!

a year is a long time in politics

This is absolutely hilarious from #PMQs today.

Ayoub Khan MP says rubbish is "building right beneath my very nose" as he looks down at the Reform MPs sitting below him

"It's becoming a serious problem in Birmingham"

Says the gazillionaire who loves Britain so much he became tax resident in Monaco so he didn't have to contribute to Britain's resources. Physician, heal thyself.

That‘s the spirit.

BREAKING: "I feel like I've come home” says former Home Secretary Suella Braverman defecting to Reform UK.

With 75% of Reform MPs having previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party I’m not surprised

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu.

Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

I have never felt more pro-European.

🚨WOW! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 75,000 signatures! 🙏

LET’S KEEP GOING!

If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done!

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country:

1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech.

2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

FT graph showing massive UK public support for the opinion that it was wrong to vote to leave the EU.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

The UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) has some choice words…

…for a PM who aggressively inserted racially-charged accusations into a local safety issue, seeking, seemingly on personal whim, to override well-informed local law & democracy mechanisms, and risking public safety.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

Something significant people might have missed on Nathan Gill’s indictment for bribery… “conspired with Oleg Voloshyn, and with others”

Maybe sentencing in November will make this clearer

I’m joining Hugh Grant & @hackedoff.bsky.social in calling for fair, independent regulation to protect ordinary people from abuse and restore trust in the press. It's time to finally hold them to account. Please join us signing the petition to change the law🙏

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Not sure the man responsible for this poster is best placed to lecture anyone else on taking politics “into the gutter”.

The AfD qualified for three mayoral run-offs in cities in North Rhine-Westphalia today, and lost all by big margins. The lesson is not that we have overdone the AfD's rise, but that we do perhaps sometimes underestimate the counter-mobilisation effects - including in east Germany, incidentally.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

If everyone watched The Hack on ITV right now, we could start to repair our media, our discourse & our country. It is TV drama at its absolute best. I know most of this stuff & I’m reeling.

Graphic with the headline “London is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline. The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again.

Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

Liz Truss @trussliz Follow 267 It's time to stop your pathetic attempts at cancellation @bphillipsonMP. Why aren't you focussed on actually dealing with the rape gangs? As for the economy, every single economic indicator is worse now than it was when I was Prime Minister - the gilt yield, debt, growth and unemployment. I know you're desperate because you're losing to Lucy Powell - but this is pitiful. Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP 23h Kemi Badenoch should throw Liz Truss out of the Tory party. See my letter below Bridget Phillipson MP Labour MP for Houghton & Sundertond South 21 September 2025 (by email, kamibadenoch.mp@parliament.uk) ALT Dear Kemi Dadenoch, Liz Truss I am writing to you today to encourage you to expal Liz Truss from the Conservative Forty. Liz's short spell cas Prime Minister sow her crashing our economy, putting people's pension provision at risk, sending homeowners' mortgages soaring, and left a vast black hole in the public finances But her support for Stephen Yasley-Lennon, otherwise known as Tommy Robinson, plumbs new depths and is completely unbecoming of a former Prime Minister. I would hope it is unbecoming of any member of the Conservative Party In an intarview with Newnak, former Conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss sich "I think It is correct that Tommy Robinson drew attention to a problem and a heincus issue that has been brushed under the carpet try many people" Asked by Newsweek if thought Robinson had been unfairly demonised, she said "Yes, I do" #Uz Truss retains her membership under your leadership then the British people can only conclude that you do not see an issue with her comments. It will underline that the Conservatives, for so long and so often Britain's party of govemment, have fallen headlong into the gutter under your leadership, pandering to bigots and racists in a desperate and wholly misguided attempt to remain relevant. in the interests of public debate and transparency, I will be making …

@trussliz Follow 67 The @bbc and @BBCsarahsmith are utterly disgraceful. She should have her White House press pass rescinded @PressSec. And come 2029 the whole organisation should be defunded. Charlotte Gill @CharlotteCGill. 1d BBC News on Charlie Kirk's memorial: "Mr Kirk built a huge and devoted following for his Far Right views."

"It's time to stop your pathetic attempts at cancellation" says Liz Truss... on the same day she called for the BBC to be defunded and a journalist's press pass revoked.

There's no excuse of ignorance any more. Every single person on that fascist march knew who Tommy Robinson was and every single one of them knew why they were there.

This isn't Brexit. People weren't conned. They willingly went out to join in, led by a five times jailed thug. Stop making excuses.

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.

I look forward to Nadine Dorries squaring her frequent & frenzied attempts to get me fired for telling the truth about her absurdity & awfulness with her new party’s commitment to ‘free speech’.

The Mail is going to go full Farage. The Telegraph already has, to the absolute horror of the proper journalists still on the paper. Tony Gallagher at The Times is, as ever, waiting for Rupert Murdoch’s instructions. Their only alternative is to own the stupidity of backing Johnson, Brexit & Truss.

I’d like to see more work done to preserve the site of the ancient palace of the Roman Emperors so that many more generations can visit and enjoy it. Which is why I, like many others #SupportPalatineAction
