In all the years I've been campaigning, this is the first where I've feared retaliation - but even X is not above the law. That's why we've referred X to Ofcom for horrific posts that, having taken legal advice, we believe are illegal under the Online Safety Act. goodlaw.social/wk2q

There lived a certain man
In England not long ago
He was racist and vile
And he was always chasing gold
Most people looked at him
And thought he was a fool
But the Moscow apparachniks
Saw a useful tool

Guys I have terrible news - this post has gone viral on Facebook, promoting hundreds of rage-filled comments from people who have taken it very seriously indeed. And, most annoyingly, the Autism Parents have found it!!
Mary Walker, 9, who has always displayed autistic traits, was miraculously fixed by her parents insisting that she stop it at once.

It's important we push Reform to do their own investigation, so we can see how far it falls short compared to an external one

"Did UKIP have a problem with an MEP who clearly was corrupt? Yes, it did."
"Did he join Reform? Very briefly in Wales? He did."
"I can't investigate UKIP in the European Parliament in 2018. How do I do that?"
Someone doesn't seem keen on an investigation...

Politico: "Lib Dem MP Charlotte Cane admitted to Private Eye she failed to declare tickets and hospitality from the Jockey Club when she submitted written Qs about horse-racing taxes. She said she has corrected the error and sought advice."
Sanctions should be swift and harsh. They won't be, ofc.

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.
Look it’s never nice to find yourself in a position of having to move when you don’t want to but given that due to the volatility of the London housing market I have had to move FIVE TIMES since 2020 I’m struggling to feel very sympathetic towards people whose ’problem’ is a paid off 2mil property.

My carefully considered, nuanced and balanced policy view is that we should tax gambling profits, including sports betting, at like 98% and one executive's kidney per quarter.
I'm not sure having every UK mainstreet be three quarters Ladbrokes is good, actually.

The very first thing the Prime Minister does is use the household budget metaphor.
A metaphor - this report into BBC coverage - said could be "easily misleading."
Why is the government trying to mislead the country?
