BBC continuing to do stellar promotion of Reform: headlining ‘shadow’ cabinet presser & platforming Jenrick comments in bulletins. A party with just 8 MPs. Wonder* if BBC gave similar coverage to those bigger parties, Lib Dems & SNP? (* course they didn’t)

As ever, Braverman's stupidity approaches the level of performance art - here complaining about identity politics/equalities policy in one sentence, and then about the (supposedly unjust) underperformance of a particular intersectional ethnic/gender group in the next.

17 February 1944 | A Hungarian Jewish girl, Juliska Revesz, was born in Pecs.

In July 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber. She was 5 months old.

His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.

When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

If there's one lesson from recent history it's that nothing bad ever happens after you're unreasonably rude to an FT journalist.
Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.

Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Has anyone asked Goodwin or Farage about this yet?

Astonishing it wasn't raised at Farage's press conference..

This is an amazing piece from Jess Davies. But we have a plan to fight back - if anonymous accounts have used image based abuse to try and silence you, chasing you across platforms, we'd love to hear from you.
"The images were fake. But the loss of power was real. The humiliation was real. The sense of being reduced to a body – something they could manipulate and degrade – was painfully real.

"And this abuse was a warning. A message to women like me: 'This is what happens when you challenge us.'"

Men using images to abuse women didn’t start with Grok – while tech bros are making money out of online harm, women will keep paying the price, says Jess Davies

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

This whole clip he’s talking about how he has a difficult decision on who to endorse in this race since there are so many candidates. Meanwhile, he endorsed Clay Fuller already on Feb 4. Maybe he forgot.

How many plumbers does she think we need?! A staggeringly illiterate understanding of the labour market apart from anything else.
Braverman says social transitioning would be banned in all schools, "no ifs or buts". She says the 50% target for university education would be replaced with a 50% target for kids going into trades like electricians and plumbing. As ever, I'll believe it when it's the MPs' own kids who do this.
