And every single day we are surging.

Where Labour have failed, the Left must be ready to take on Reform.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

The crimes are abhorrent and I'm not going to detail them here. But two big takeaways:

A) this is the kind of person police send to protests
B) when arrested and interviewed, he asked that cops 'speak to special branch' as if he was confident it would help get him out of trouble

"Eye-catching..." is kinda how much of the West has ended up in this clown car hurtling towards authoritarianism. I think it's time to acknowledge that.

Strong speech from Badenoch. Well delivered. Sharp critique of government. Focussed on politically fertile territory on the economy. Eye catching policy which will get a lot of v positive press attention.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Matthew Syed, who recently wrote a long read about why he just joined the Conservatives, objected to his BBC introduction including this fact: "Yes, I just joined the Conservatives, but I still see myself, first and foremost, as an objective journalist, if I may say so."

Phew! Glad that's settled.

Thank you . This is spot on. I live in 'middle England ' and it may be very pretty and historic, but politically it is horrendous. I feel like a fish out of water.

“We don’t want to die so you can call us heroes. We want to continue living.” Anas al-Sharif's nephew photographer Musab al-Shareef speaks out on October 7th, 2025. Two years on, Gaza still bleeds, its cries fading into the noise of a world that scrolls past their suffering.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

For the benefit of Starmer, Barnett and all the other pro-genocide voices. Isaeli violence in Palestine has been on going for over 70 years. It did not start on the 7 October 2023.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

If the right accuse the left of something (terrorist sympathising, communism, antisemitism etc) the media will ask the left to defend themselves from that charge.

If the left accuse the right of something (racism, fascism, colonialism), the media will ask the left to justify that charge.
