Farage again blames “the endless eastward expansion of NATO” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Even when he’s playacting at being tough on Putin, he can’t resist repeating Kremlin talking points.

Heads up.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

I don't think that the wheels will come off, but we'll def lose 2 in a row at some point. Then it's all about the reaction. Bloody well enjoying the ride so far though!!

It's definitely weird, but I get a sense of comfort that Cov are second. Explain that? #utb

Absolute hero and game changer

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

More from Starmer, on Channel 4 News. Feels like a real sense of change from where we were Sunday morning.

This is gold. Young lad shows up a clown.

Leader, perhaps, being the wrong word in both cases

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.
