But it's ok to have a monarchy right?
Gaffe-prone Kemi Badenoch denies calling for the UK to join Donald Trump’s war on Iran.
This is a bizarre denial, as I was about 20ft away from her last week when she did exactly that.

Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why won’t the PM simply overrule her?
FACTS:
Net Zero barely nudges your bill.
Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.
So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
I’m no royalist but if Brian goes to the US as planned then let’s remind him of the likely reception…
If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.
Truth slips out.
Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the governments jury trial reforms

We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
Since 2021, Thames Water has illegally dumped untreated sewage in Wokingham 78 times – directly putting your health and our environment in danger.
This cannot continue, which is why I’m calling for Thames Water to be put under special administration to end this scandal once and for all.
Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support.
On 30% of the vote, one party could win full control of our economy, health, foreign policy and defence.
We can't take that risk.
I wrote this piece just five days ago - predicting Trump would walk away and leave everyone else to clear up his mess ….and here we are - concluding extract below:
Trump's relaxation of oil sanctions on Russia enables Putin to create more devastation and kill more innocent people.

I was waiting for Nick Robinson to lob a Gotcha at Claire Coutinho asking why she didn't tackle price gouging whilst she was the Energy Secretary in Sunak's government, but, of course, he didn't.

You Gov: Britons tend to think that King Charles's planned state visit to the US should be cancelled, as Lib Dem leader Ed Davey calls on the government to call the trip off in response the US-Iran conflict
Should be cancelled: 46%
Should go ahead: 36%
To continue with this trip would simply confirm the UK as Trump’s poodle. It cannot go ahead.

Heating oil price spikes are hammering rural families.
Crude oil is up 20% since the Iran war began, yet some North Norfolk households are suffering 80-100% increases.
Last week, I asked Ed Miliband to act & he’s today agreed to raise it with the Competition & Markets Authority.
It's the American way.

I'm begging the Labour government to say in public what it absolutely knows in private: we are a bog standard Western European country whose most reliable and important allies and trade partners are other Western European countries.
Tim Shipman accused me the other day of not knowing how to “political journalism works”.
Well, the modus operandi is clear for all to see. Unattributed briefings to channel, without responsibility, whatever undeclared agenda a source or political journalist wants to pursue
Cancel the April state visit to the US.
A state visit from our King should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults our country.
Airstrip One.
The idea that the war machine the US has mobilised can be divided into 'offensive' and 'defensive' operations, and that UK bases are only used for the latter, is contemptible nonsense.
