Madame Defarge

Michael Gove admits that post-Brexit trade deals were bad for farmers Michael Gove has admitted for the first time that the Australia and New Zealand trade deals negotiated by the former Tory government did not protect Britain’s farmers.

This deserves more attention than it has received.

Gove: "we were too anxious as a government to secure those deals in order to show that Brexit was working".

Exactly as so many of us warned at the time, and as the government denied at the time.

Commiserations to the Donald for losing out to a woman from Venezuela.

I’d like to see a lot more scrutiny of Banks.

Trump and his acolytes might well think he can “move mountains by sheer force of his will”, but that can’t get him a Nobel prize! Go, Norway!

Tice and Farage should be treated like the traitors they are.

Having backed and assisted the Israel war on Palestinians & the #gazagenocide itself, Donald Trump comes up with a #PeacePlan to end it & wants the #NobelPeacePrize for doing so.
You couldn't make this up.
He should face arrest for complicity in #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators

…and then call yourself a hero for pulling the plug.

Am I alone in thinking it’s far too early to be heralding this ‘deal’ as proof of the ending of conflict in the Middle East? Far too early for the congratulatory messages? Personally, I don’t trust Netenyahu to keep any bargain and I fear the Palestinians are being shafted. Again.

Does it come with pins or do I need to supply my own?

If anyone in Labour had a modicum of political nous, they’d be pushing the Churchill angle at every mention of the ECHR.

What an appalling take on life by Badenoch and her ilk.

Someone should notify Reform UK that Kemi Badenoch is attacking English language and literature.

“The figures have ballooned,” she says. Since 2016. Does Kemi wonder WHY that might have happened? Was it for fun? Who was in power at that time? Could it possibly have anything to do with Brexit and the chaos that has caused? It’s just a mystery.

It was a horrific attack. No one should defend it, but that’s where Starmer’s ‘humanity’ stops. At no point does he condemn the Israeli govt for their egregious, genocidal acts since which have made the Jewish people more unsafe across the globe. At no point has he shown empathy with Gaza citizens.

Liz Kendall was at it the other week on Radio Scotland 🤬 It’s so insulting to our intelligence. I was very glad to hear Rachel Burdon pushing back.

Well done Rachel Burdon on Radio 5 Live.. Skewering Mel Stride for not answering after he’d tried to use the latest media-training wheeze of avoiding answering, then saying,” Your question was [insert different topic]”
RB: “No it wasn’t. I asked you [iriginal question]”
More of this please.

You wouldn’t be suggesting that she made a gaffe, would you? As we all know, Kemi doesn’t make gaffes (according to Kemi)

Laura probably has no clue about the importance of the EHCR in those aspects of our lives.

Kemi Badenoch really is lacking in self-awareness #BBCLauraK

“There are far too many people in this country who shouldn’t be here,” says Kemi Badenoch on #BBCLauraK
If that’s the case, they didn’t all arrive in the last 14 months, did they?

Oh, so we’re only meant to think of other people when it’s people YOU approve of, Penny Mordaunt? Thinking of other people is EXACTLY what the protestors are doing.

They’re the same people who said they were voting for Boris Johnson because “he’s a laugh”

Tories plan to take away all your rights, and putting UK in a select group in Europe whose only other members are Russia and Belarus

No-one should be surprised. They model themselves on the cult of Trump so of course they’re going to ignore procedures and conventions.

I’m sure she doesn’t realise it but she’s only there to mind the shop. No way is she leading them into the next election.

She is the living embodiment of condescension.

Is this the US’s Marie Antoinette moment?
