The un-elected House Of Lords is not fit for purpose. #r4today #bbcbreakfast #PoliticsLive #PMQs

Kemi Badenoch hasn't thought those seat placings through

Nobody is listening to a word she is saying, as most people are looking at Mark Francois, sat immediately alongside her, and wondering what the fuck he is doing there

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.

But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage won’t face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.

Vote Green.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Quarter of a million £quid per year for the twisted opinions and concoctions this guy comes out with every day?!

He's a stranger to facts, a deluded conjuror of half-baked conclusions and malicious misinformation.

Is this the "Our BBC" they keep telling us about?

Zack Polanski pressures Wes Streeting over Palantir after Mandelson texts released ZACK Polanski has piled fresh pressure on Wes Streeting over Palantir’s NHS contracts after the Health Secretary’s newly-released text messages…

A £240m defence contract without tender.

Their fingerprints all over our health care data.

A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.

Everything around Palantir stinks.

Meanwhile, Reform UK have been caught breaking election law in #GortonAndDenton, but I neither see nor hear reports about that on TV and radio.

Hang on, why is Nick Robinson bringing Starmer's daughter into the Mandelson farrago?

Having daughters doesn't make anyone more or less atuned to whether someone is a paedophile or not, & certainly not more moral.

Utterly crass line of questioning from Robinson.

Nigel Farage apologises for 17 breaches of MPs’ code of conduct Reform UK leader, who failed to declare £380,000 on time, says he is computer-illiterate ‘oddball’

#r4today
They talk about Angela Rayner's stamp duty, but no talk of Nigel Farage's dodgy house deal in Clacton, or his 17 breaches of the MPs’ code of conduct, failing to declare £380,000 on time.
It's always different for men, especially right-wing men.

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

Photo of President Obama

Trump’s latest racist AI slop depicting the Obamas as animals, less than human, is a reminder that Trump has NOTHING on the Obamas. It’s pathetic how often Trump makes racist AI videos to try to detract from the fact HE is a child rapist. We all know who isn’t in the Epstein files…Barack Obama

That‘s the spirit.

5. tell us they don't care about any numbers they haven't produced themselves

“I’m not interested in other people’s numbers…”

Lee Anderson perfectly demonstrates Reforms economic policy there.

Nigel Farage announces plans to slash vital benefit to fund 5p cheaper pints Nigel Farage's party had promised to back scrapping the two-child benefit limit, but now Reform intends to funnel the support to the most vulnerable into slashing prices in pubs

Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...

The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.

This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

#politicslive Badenoch really just said this

maybe look at the clusterfuck of MPs who you have on your benches cos when we look at Bowie, Cleverly etc they are amongst the dregs of elected officials

Never as a member of Reform

The man is a foul, ignorant idiot.
He should not be part of any civilised society. 😡

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

It's like if your phone back to the shop because it wasn't working and they just put it in a bag, smashed it up with a hammer then tried to sell it back to you.

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job.

“I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Every single thing that Trump is doing to help rig the election has been happening since before he even had his first term. Trying to steal elections is not a new concept for Black communities.

I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.
