Media must stop normalizing the far right Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.

Trump expects Britain (and other European countries) to blindly follow each of his rash decisions. But Starmer is right not to do so when:
- the UK was not consulted beforehand
- the professed aims constantly change
- there is no exit strategy
- it breaks international law

Nottingham Forest will have had more managers than home league wins this season.

We need an elected 2nd house to be completed half way through the General Election period. The HoL members only represent themselves

Brexiters are the traitors and each and every one of them owes Remain voters an abject apology.

No. That is not the law. A state needs to have an effective government to be a state. It does not need to have a strong army. Costa Rica abolished its army a long time ago - that does not mean you can now just seize it.

Nigel Farage would bring uncertainty to Britain’s policy on Putin The Reform UK leader has a chequered record on Russia

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί "MEPs of UKIP opposed a resolution in 2008 condemning Putin’s invasion of Georgia. Farage also opposed a resolution in 2011 which criticised the conduct of elections in Russia that were widely regarded as rigged."

Farage has always had a soft touch to Putin.

I’m from Ukraine.
We don’t ask for pity.
We ask you to see us -
Not as headlines,
Not as numbers,
But as people who loved ordinary lives
That were stolen and replaced by war.

Horrified by the sickening terrorist attack in Bondi Beach. My prayers are with the families of those tragically killed.

As Jewish communities come together to celebrate Hanukkah, we must stand together against violence and hate. Light will always triumph over darkness.

A disastrous consequence of a culture reserving its greatest rewards for commentators with the most pungently expressed opinions is how hard it becomes for them to climb down. By rights, *everybody* writing or speaking in the national interest should be horrified & outraged by Trump’s attacks on us.

Farage just said β€œI didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

I don’t care if Reform calls me a bad word on WhatsApp. But the story behind its gaffe is far more worrying | Will Hayward The leaked exchange shows how much the party dislikes scrutiny – which reveals a lot about its approach to governing, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

My piece for The Guardian about why I am far more concerned about Reform's aversion to scrutiny than I am about them calling me a c***.
