Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the โ€œspecial relationshipโ€ is genuinely pathetic

If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- hereโ€™s a reminder of who did it.

Good grief. Iโ€™m not sure sheโ€™s thought this through. Unless, of course, she actively *wants* allies & enemies to believe that she would happily order the British military to commit war crimes.

Iโ€™m really not following the logic of moving to Dubai because you are furious that there are too many Muslims in London.

So presumably this Daily Mail campaign against "foreign-born" voters will quickly be applied to their foreign-born star columnist, Boris Johnson, and their own France-based for tax purposes non-dom owner?

Match Preview: Beat Forest and Brighton can cut free of bottom four Brighton can put some big distance between themselves and the bottom four, moving 10 points clear if they beat Nottingham Forest

Victory over Nottingham Forest will put Brighton 10 points clear of the bottom four. Defeat would see #BHAFC pulled within four points of 17th

Post Brexit my faith has similarly been crushed. Letโ€™s hope that the electorate donโ€™t believe the hype which is Farage and the failed Tories of Reform

Iโ€™m afraid to say that โ€˜non-existentโ€™ is optimistic. A General Election is not the same as one by-election. Much more work needs to be done to keep Reform away from power

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped.
Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. Weโ€™re sick of that failure.

Greens now have 5 MPs.

Reform has 8 - but four of those are Tory defections who were not elected on a REF ticket..

Bet Jenrick and Braverman are feeling a little sick this morning.

FWIW if you are the kind of man who thinks swearing at MPs in Walthamstow town centre is best way to express your political preferences, can I at least ask you wait until my kids are out of earshot first.

You might feel I am fair game for such abuse, but they are not.

And where did that โ€˜true Tory budgetโ€™ with its tax cuts take us, DM hacks? Straight to 6% interest rates and 12% inflation.

Wes Streeting, Health Secretary: "Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary.

Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, thereโ€™ll be no NHS."

Another triumph for Goodwin's campaign. No doubt he'll continue to pretend he cares about anti-semitism.

Not sure why Reform announcing theyโ€™ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasnโ€™t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?
