Francesca Albanese: "The request to demilitarise and deradicalise Gaza... in the name of Israels security. Where is the security of the Palestinians, who have been attacked without respite for decades... where is the demilitarisation and deradicalisation of Israels society?"

By way of a reminder folks...

You voted for Cameron
Everything got worse

You voted for Johnson
Everything got worse

You voted for brexit
Everything got worse

You voted for Truss

If you vote for Farage

You have no idea how bad your life will become.

And he wants a Nobel Prize? His main priority should be protecting the people he serves and improving their lives. He is guilty of a gross dereliction of duty

He allowed over 19000 innocent children to be murdered by the Israeli government. For the tangerine traitor to be even considered for this prestigious award would be a travesty of justice

The country is so sad at the moment. Farage should be charged with treason for what he has done to this country, I once loved and was proud of the values we once held dear. What ever happened to Hope not Hate?

I don't believe I'm writing this I wish the Tory Party would come to their senses, and survive this temporary crisis. The people who voted for the old style Tories were well meaning and intelligent, alas unlike this flag waving moronic bunch who are voting for Reform. The same applies to Labour

There are parallels Lloyd George was corrupt and was selling knighthoods and peerages, admittedly not for his own personal enrichment Farage is corrupt for his own personal enrichment. This foul creature has trousered £1,200,000 since becoming an M.P. I would love to see Reform go the same way

I'm a little depressed about the state of the Tory Party. It looks like they are going the same way as Lloyd George's Liberals in 1922.

About right, although the Tory one nation gang gave in to Brexit and handed things over to a charlatan Boris Johnson it was downhill from there but don’t forget they also embraced austerity as well

Badenoch’s ‘thoughtful Conservatism’ turns out to be just the slower road to Faragism | Rafael Behr

The Tory leader’s intellectual meanderings have shrunk her party into little more than a holding pen for future Reform party candidates, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Wouldn't it be nice for the BBC to ignore Farage and Reform
Just for a little while? I think it would be very refreshing

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.
