I had to laugh at Farage’s rendition of Manuel from Fawlty Towers “I know nothing” on Laura Kuenssberg’s show this morning, what gave him away is he jumped in as soon as she started talking.

"British Jews should not have to live in fear of hatred, racism and abuse on our streets or online."

So many questions left unanswered in the Shapps interview

1) No satisfactory answer on ISC involvement. It wasn't the courts who decided, it was ministers. Hundreds of officials were across Whitehall were aware of the leak. This would have been Parliament's only means of scrutiny.

A lot of people are scrambling to find reasons *not* to be concerned about what happened with this super-injunction business.

But the "what about security" hand-wave doesn't work on this one.

A lot was hidden from MPs which need not be hidden.

Security was an excuse, not a reason.

The world is looking on in horror as Netanyahu's Government plots to lock Gaza's entire population into effectively a giant prison.

The Prime Minister should make it clear that the UK won't stand idly by, starting by sanctioning Netanyahu himself.

The Elections Bill: an opportunity to protect our democracy from misinformation and disinformation – Full Fact Full Fact Briefing on the Elections Bill

The upcoming Elections Bill is an opportunity to safeguard our democracy against misinformation and disinformation, strengthen the integrity of elections and restore public trust in politics.

Read our recommendations here:

If Ed Davey keeps this up for the next 3.5 years, he’s going to get my vote. I admire his stand on Trump and his support for a closer tie to the EU. His views and commitment to social care is exemplary because he understands that you will never get on top of the NHS without sorting the care system.

Reform’s Clean Energy Crackdown Would Cost 60,000 Jobs and Raise Bills, Says Study Reform UK’s policies to “scrap net zero” would cost more than 60,000 jobs and wipe £92 billion off the UK economy, according to a new study. Nigel Farage’s party — which took control of 10 councils in...

Reform’s clean energy crackdown would cost 60,000 jobs, wipe £92 billion off the economy, and raise bills, says study

And that's before they're joined by Liz Truss.

My liberal vision for a thriving economy I’m proud that once again it is the Liberal Democrats leading the way, with our vision for an economy that is growing strongly, where everyone feels the benefits.

Ed Davey gave a big speech on the economy, energy and Reform yesterday.

A tweet graphic of Ed saying: The PM should invite Mark Carney for an official visit and address to Parliament before Trump’s visit. It would show Britain backs Canada against Trump’s damaging trade war. Now is the time to stand with the Commonwealth, not stand in Trump’s shadow like Nigel Farage.

The Prime Minister should invite Mark Carney for an official visit to the UK, including the opportunity to address Parliament, ahead of Trump's state visit.

This would send an important signal that Britain stands shoulder to shoulder with Canada against Trump’s chaotic trade war.

NEW: Getting to net-zero will be much cheaper than thought for the UK – and unchecked global warming far more costly, says OBR

While Reform has a mini meltdown and Musk/Trump tear chunks out of each other, maybe media could start scrutinising these grifting tossers who do nothing but harm and call it patriotism. They don’t even know how to behave, let alone decide policy. Time to start binning off these foghorns of failure.

After the Brexit reset, how about a Brexit review? New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The reset now needs to be delivered, including an SPS deal. Meanwhile, with the SDR we've had three defence reviews since Brexit, so why not a Brexit review? chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/06/afte...

I’ll need to get in the queue too, this could be fun.
