Who better to complain about wasting money than the MP who claimed £30,000 from taxpayers for renting a flat while her husband owned one just a few minutes away?

Matt Goodwin has more chips on his shoulder than a carpenter caught in a frites spillage. The very essence of dull, unoriginal, utterly inconsequential little man. You can only pity the boneheads who hero worship such an absolute nonentity. #bbcqt
So brilliant to see odious Matt Goodwin having his arse handed to him by the excellent people of Bradford!

She should sue them for murder. Just as a lot of the red states class a miscarriage as murder nowadays.. .

What im clumsily saying is when you're from a minority group you know. You develop an intuition for how others see you that runs the gamut from "trying too hard" to "hostile" You know from life experience that most people are not racist but that many who are dont even think they are.

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.
NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing.

Poor take by Curtice.

This is a disaster for Farage. Polls had RefUK closely winning. Losing by 11% signposts Plaid to all of Wales as THE tactical choice for Senedd Elex and drains RefUK momentum.

"Something is happening out there", alright. People are uniting to tell Farage to feck right off.
Prof John Curtice also calling it a great night for Reform too & focusing on Lab vote collapse instead of the turnout + tactical vote

Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity
‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived."

"Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."

Robin Cook quote of day: “What makes a society strong is its sense of social cohesion, the belief of all its members in their basic equality. Commercialising the provision of public services through privatisation or marketising them through health charges or education fees erodes this public realm.”
It's a beautiful picture but I have to tell you that King Arthur is sleeping under Alderley Edge in Cheshire!!

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Yet another Reform MP has been accused of being in breach of Parliamentary rules.

deputy leader Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality he received from Lubov Chernukhin –

wife of a former Russian deputy finance minister.

Deform are a set of traitors.

Dr Assal Rad—

"This story is getting barely any media coverage, which is why Israel returned the bodies with signs of torture.

"Didn’t even try to cover it up because they knew they didn’t have to."

Win for nature-friendly farming!

UK Government’s one-year extension of some nature-friendly farming agreements in England gives breathing space for those making space for wildlife on farms.

But it’s only a stop-gap, we need a long-term plan for the future 🧵 👇
