Courageous political leadership means telling an audience what they don't want to hear. Zack Polanski will never do that.

Or is it that I'm saying things the Telegraph doesn't want to hear?

I suggest they might want to avoid our Party Broadcast this evening!

I have often done this, and the same old platitudes are regurgitated in reply. Last time they replied by explaining how elections work 🀦🀦🀦

The first and only time Kemi Badenoch says anything worth listening to will be when she says

β€œI resign”

The only time Farage will say anything that’s true and worth hearing is if he says

β€œI’ve been arrested for inciting racism & violence”

Neither will happen of course but one can live in hope

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

I am not shy to say when I disagree with Sadiq Khan. But I also think it's important to say out loud when other politicians get it right.

This is exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say. Thank you Sadiq.

No. No they should not. And California has had it with unaccountable, anonymous federal officers.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
