Straight to โ€˜letโ€™s have a debate about whether racism is racismโ€™ for *almost* all of the UK media. Nothing learned from the lessons of Brexit, Trump & Johnson. But on we go.

Keir Starmer: "I said we would stand up for renters. Weโ€™re doing exactly that.ย

This Labour government is abolishing no fault evictions, ending rental bidding wars and introducing legal protections for tenants.ย

Promise made, promise delivered."

Having mispronounced Azerbaijan & mistaken Armenia for Albania last time he mentioned this conflict, Trump has now settled on a formulation of words he is much happier with. And after all, whatโ€™s 4000 miles between friends? As the expression goesโ€ฆ

So sad to see John Stapleton has passed away. He was extremely kind to Lucy & me as we found our feet in broadcasting after moving from print, as he had done years before. Such fond memories of dinners with him & his late wife Lynn, including one quite surreal evening I might talk about tomorrowโ€ฆ

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Nigel Farage, a UK traitor, meets Charlie Kirk at some highfalutin radical-right get-together in the USA.

"It's not about me," says Nigel Farage - the man who stoked up the hatred that gave rise to the Farage riots across the UK (but mostly in England) in 2024.
