Zack casually whipping out a "checks notes" put down has suddenly made me realise that he's one of the only major politicians who seems to live in the same world as the rest of us, who understands modern communication style and modern life and just the modern world in general.

We need more Zacks.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

You've had a lot of people, quite rightly, pointing out to you how ghoulishly anti trans the Guardian is.

Here's also the Guardian wholesale repeating the lie that the anti genocide demonstrations are anti-Semitic.

Jewish people go on these marches too. They are about genocide.

The Guardian lies.

I'm so glad our MPs care about a Judiciary that is above ideology, that is truly independent.

I sure wish those same MPs hadn't dragged the Judiciary into their bloodthirsty ideology by proscribing Palestine Action.

Our judiciary is world renowned.

Yet this man wants to hand pick our judges and destroy centuries of judicial independence. It would be a full-scale assault on British democracy and our values. Judges should be picked on merit, not ideology - and Jenrick knows it.

The guy who voted to disgracefully and politically weaponise the judiciary against Palestine supporters talks about the importance of Judicial Independence.

Please, tell me more.

They can quit.

Yeah, I understand that's scary and that's hard. I get it. But it's scarier and harder for the protesters who are now facing terrorism charges for speaking out.

It may be not be easy, but there is always, ALWAYS, a choice available to every one of us.

"One day, the time will come, in a few years time, when they will realise that they didn't have to do this.

They didn't have to expend all of their political capital protecting a foreign government committing genocide."

Hey @theguardian.com, fancy doing any of that independent journalism that you're always patting yourselves on the back over?
