A black swan event: Keir actually cracked a good joke at PMQs
MPs from most corners of Commons laughed at the festive gag – but stony-faced Farage failed to see the funny side

Christmas Prime Minister's Questions is the Prime Minister's Questions with the worst jokes. My SKETCH. thecritic.co.uk/stan...
The last Prime Minister’s Questions before Christmas was conducted in a spirit of goodwill. Not quite a truce, but certainly an easing of hostilities. Keir Starmer opened by offering every MP the compliments of the season. “And a little festive advice to those in Reform: if mysterious men from the East appear bearing gifts, this time report it to the police.” We looked over at Britain’s insurgent party, who have decided to treat barbs about the conviction of their Welsh leader for taking Russian bribes as highly amusing. Richard Tice bounced up and down in his seat like a schoolboy who’s heard the tuck shop is offering half-price gobstoppers. Where was Nigel Farage? He had decided to sit up in the gallery. He claimed on Twitter that this was a protest at the “rigged” session, but a more likely explanation is that he dislikes the taunts that come his way. Farage seems to have only two moods: triumphalism and petulance. If he does make it to Number 10, he’s going to struggle with the sl

I'm been at a Richard Tice press conference at which he:
• Refused to say whether he still believes Nigel Farage's school accusers made up their claims, calling the row "old news".
• Refused twice to condemn a Reform candidate who said David Lammy should "go home" to the Caribbean.

Reform Goes Woke! My SKETCH of Richard Tice asking us all to Mind Our Language. thecritic.co.uk/a-be...
As it turns out, it was something else entirely. “Four weeks ago, when I gave a press conference, I offended a number of people talking about SEND.” The penny dropped. This particular moment of plain-speaking was when Tice suggested that parents were faking their children’s special needs diagnoses to avoid VAT on school fees, and described the sight of children wearing ear defenders in class to help them focus as “insane”. Not surprisingly, this has gone down badly with parents of kids with special needs. But quite astonishingly, Reform turns out to care what those parents think. “We never stop learning in life,” Tice said, sounding like the kind of California hippy who will be deported on the first day of Farage’s Glorious Rule. He began talking about the frustrations of parents who want help for their children. In my notebook, I find I have written “IS HE ACTUALLY BEING SINCERE?” And he really did seem to be. It was hard to understand. Everything we’d seen up to this moment suggeste

The BBC is not just any other institution. It's a core part of this country's identity. It's ours to criticise, ours to get cross with, ours to love and ours to the end.

By attacking it Trump may actually be doing us all a favour as we are obliged to remember that.

HURRAH! Petitions are crap at making gov'ts do things they don't want to. But they are good for two things: First, making them explain why they won't do something, but second (and more important) nudging/giving them permission to do something they DO want, but that's been crowded out bandwidth-wise.

And that BBC show didn't broadcast in the USA (where the suit has been filed), rendering it impossible for it to have affected anything in the USA. So: false.

And that's just the stuff he or his lawyers have said today.
