Very refreshing that. Didn't miss a beat.
#bbclaurak tries to get a gotcha. Zack, you refuse to fly. How can you be a candidate for high office if you'd refuse to ever get on a plane?
Well Laura, in that situation I'd get on a plane.

I just signed the campaign calling to save our swifts, by calling for the UK Government to follow Scotland's lead and make it the law for all new houses to be built with "swift bricks" - safe places for these birds to nest. Will you join me?

Say the US did abduct Maduro because Venezuela was supposedly a terrorist narco‑state
Since when does that become a licence for the US to help themselves to the oil?

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants.

Education matters, language matters. If we want to tackle misogyny then we need to start educating children. I’m no Labour fan but I do completely support this policy.
Statistically you’re far more likely to be sexually assaulted by a current/former Tory MP than a migrant.

To knit together two stories: through intimidation, litigation & extortion, Trump is clearly trying to create a media ecosystem where nobody asks him about Epstein - or indeed anything discomfiting. It is appalling to see so many UK media individuals & institutions aiding & abetting his corruption.
