This is the MOST DELICIOUSLY EMBARRASSING THING you will see all week, if not all month.

Richard Tice car crash in Scotland. He doesn't know the full names of the two Reform UK defectors or which council they are from.

It truly deserves to go viral.

For goodness sake America this has gone too far - please let sense prevail and stop the lies and aggression it's so unlike the country I grew to know

Trump can’t handle the faintest criticism so, when he hears that Zelensky should have been invited, he lashes out saying β€œHe started it”. When Zelensky mentions the disinformation that feeds Trump, Trump lashes out again.
A monstrous spoiled brat wrecking the world with his dull-witted vengefulness.

Sky news leading with the problem of knives in schools. Highlighting a problem with no solutions. The answer is to stop demonising kids and give them hope and opportunity - who is going to lead the news with that?

So here's a thought! I have spent most of my life watching American drama. World under threat from the plans of evil despots with America saving the day on the side of good! What now when America is represented by the evil despots? Will the forces of good in the US turn on their own?

A tougher stance on crime - it’s more compassion we need - lift people out of poverty and give them hope - what about an alternative to the politics of hate

I have published the attached report which studies youth violence in the U.K. and compares the cost of our current crisis response to the benefits of prevention.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Work alone is not enough to protect many people from poverty ❌

68% of working age adults in poverty live in working households.

22% of part-time employees

8% of full-time employees

21% of full-time self-employed workers

12% of people in work

are in poverty 7/9

No, Brexit could never work. It was a terrible lie missold to people who deserved better by crooks and chancers. Take some responsibility for goodness sake.

β€˜My relative was executed for a crime they didn’t commit. We can never bring back the death penalty’

This was a difficult - painful and intimate - column to write. But I felt I had to speak as calls grow for the reintroduction of capital punishment in Britain

Read this. @lewisgoodall.com is one of the most prescient commentators around. Frightening and needs to be heard.

β€˜Move closer to Europe – not Trump’ voters tell Starmer in major UK poll Pressure growing on Labour to improve trade with EU as Rachel Reeves admits Brexit damaged UK

Trump is a feral menace threatening our trade, our security and our democracy.
To NOT prioritise trade and improved relations with our own continent over trying to deal with that loose cannon would be completely mad.
Luckily most of us aren’t. Even in Clacton.

Nazi salutes and why you should believe the evidence of your own eyes If we cannot call out Nazi salutes when they’re before our faces, then we’re all of us heading to somewhere terrible.

If we cannot defend the truth of what we see with our own eyes, if we cannot call out Nazi salutes when they’re before our faces, then we’re all of us heading to somewhere terrible, though somewhere humanity has likely been before
