We don't want him in Scotland. He should stay in his own country preferably in a prison.

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.โ€

This is why I watch foreign news - e.g. UK, Australia. Even non-English speaking countries (France, Germany, Japan) produce English language news programs.

Not saying they're perfect, but their cultural coverage is superior and at least they call BS when necessary.

Political violence and threats are not the answer.

This is a watershed moment โ€” we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.

We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?

The real issue isnโ€™t left vs right.

Itโ€™s not white vs black.

Itโ€™s not citizen vs immigrant.

Itโ€™s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest โ€” and a lot of money invested โ€” in dividing us, and itโ€™s working.

Charlie Kirk was not a good guy. He was an antisemite, a homophobe, a racist and a liar. While his murder should be condemned, his vile politics should be recognised. The way the Trump administration and MAGA are treating him is disgusting.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
