🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”
Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

I was in the car during #PMQs. The only leader that makes sense right now is Ed Davey.
Starmer is a nice guy who should be behind the scenes. I could see him managing my local Aldi.
Badenoch comes across as nasty, aggressive, and petulant. She takes no responsibility to the damage done to society.

Question: Do Germany, France, and the UK have to keep taking lectures from Trump to preserve relationships, and to bat for Ukraine, or is it possible to fight back? Trump's behaviour is appalling and, as he's not able to stand again, it will only get worse. Will he interfere in our elections?

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.
If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Creating a new customs union would help hugely. We can't go into the EU's customs union, as we would need to rejoin the EU and there aren't moves right now towards a new referendum, but we could create a customs union with the EU.
Across the country, people are backing our plans to cut the cost of living, cut energy bills, save the high street and create a new customs union with Europe. ⬇️

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.

So, #r4today reports on the Covid inquiry and the “too little, too late” Tory govt, then says they’ll be talking to *Lord* Gove about it. Ugh.
That just sums up so much that’s so very wrong with our politics and media.
Rewarding, rather than punishing, those responsible for failing us all.
