"Under a Reform UK government, only British citizens will be able to vote".

Nigel Farage has proposed this morning made a call which obvs entails disenfranchising Irish nationals as well as Commonwealth nationals. I have asked him if that is his intention and his policy now.

It is for you, Mr Healey, to tell us whether the US and Israel have broken international law.

And now you have, and you're wrong.

Priti Patel, who is an actual real life traitor (she held unlawful secret meetings with Netanyahu's govt), and who MI5 declared national security risk, is on #bbclaurak this morning talking about how Labour is weak on national security and supporting Israel's attack on Iran.

Bowen: A dangerous moment, but US and Israel see opportunity not to be missed Israel and the US believe Iran's regime is vulnerable, dealing with an economic crisis and the aftermath of protests.

BBC International Ed Jeremy Bowen: : β€˜Even if this becomes the first case of air power alone collapsing a regime, the Islamic regime will not be replaced by a liberal democracy that upholds human rights. There is no credible alternative government in exile waiting in the wings.’ #Iran

Jeremy Bowen: "The word preemptive has been used. Now that's a word that suggests there was an imminent threat, that is an imminent attack before these strikes started. There's no evidence of that. It looks very much as if this is a war of choice that Israel and the US have done"

Jeremy Bowen nailing it as ever. This isn't pre-emptive, there was no evidence of an imminent attack, it is a war of choice by Israel and the US. #r4today

Of course, it is unlawful.

Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.

Of course, it is stupid.

Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.

And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

I flew to the Maldives in a private jet.

I never found the canoe to the Chagos Islands.

Then I flew back for an appearance at Gorton and Denton.

The photographer and my team, and my lunch must have flown with me.

Not exactly Common People.

Dermot Desmond should be ashamed to call himself a Celtic supporter this morning we all know he's the one who steers the ship.

Reform's "policy" on the two-child benefit cap has switched more times than Trump's on the Chagos Islands, and over a much shorter time.

Should the World Service disappear it would be scandalous vandalism, and a choice to act immorally. 418 million people a week reached - that's one in twenty people worldwide.

The Guardian view on the BBC World Service: this is London calling | Editorial Editorial: With just seven weeks before its funding runs out, the UK’s greatest cultural asset and most trusted international news organisation must be supported

And another bites the dust?

The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.
