Hey, The Pantheon Triptych is out now on Amazon.

The story is told through the convergent lives of a scientist, an investigator, and the heir to a super-powered authoritarian megalomaniac bent on revenge.

There must be a way to stop the looming conflict. All they have to do is find it – together.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

I endorse this message!

Had it a couple of months ago. Quick, painless, and efficient.

My dad died of an aortic aneurysm, not much older than I am now, so it was a relief to get the all-clear. If this had been in place back then, things could have been so different.

If you get an NHS invite for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening then please do go along.

It’s a short and painless process which will be over in 10 minutes and it could save your life.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Political reporters continue to cover the centre-left according to the old standards of honesty and legality while shrugging at the right: "Ah well, you know what these guys are like. What can you do?"

The Express asked us about awarding the Patsy Carlton Prize to Cllr Chris Northwood. We responded:

"This prize acknowledged an exceptional woman in Cllr Chris Northwood. The message it sends to women members and voters is that the Liberal Democrats honour and value all of our women members."

The media - no, we're not going to report on serious Lib Dem policies

The media - yes, we will report on fun stunts

The media, also - the Lib Dems need to show they've got serious policies

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

"By paying such disproportionate attention to Nigel Farage's latest outfit, Reform UK, the BBC is compromising its reputation. To many licence fee payers, the broadcaster gives the impression that it hangs on every word uttered by Farage..."

The BBC has always bent towards the status quo. But since Brexit it’s top journalists - who like Mason & Kuenssberg think they’re celebrities - have fawned over the protagonists of that ‘exciting story’: the rise of hard right populism. They’ve stopped being journalists & become celebrants.
I have never been so disappointed in a BBC piece. Breathless admiration is, as far as I knew, not the role of the BBC’s political editor when describing a party political conference. Description+detail yes, rigorous examination of the conference content, yes. This, absolutely no, in my opinion.
Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before
The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

I want Keir Starmer to lead - to call out racism, not mutter about bunting.

To offer real refugee policy, not parrot Farage.

To show Britain is better than this.

Instead we’re cowering. We must do better. They must do better.

‘Far right racist’ thugs tried to break into hotels hosting Asylum Seekers. There have been arrests. These hotels are some of the nearest to Heathrow. Where exactly do they expect them to stay? Shouldn’t every single politician be condemning this? Every single one!

As we've seen across history, the populist playbook used by Farage is ugly, powerful and incredibly destructive.

We know where it will lead if we don't stop it.

Reform UK: 5 MPs (give or take)

TheGreenParty: Same number as Reform.

How does a party that could fit in an Addison Lee dominate the attention, while the other two that could fill a coach get none?
