Robert Jenrick becomes the latest Tory Cabinet minister to stand up at a Reform event and say the country is in an appalling state. You have no idea of the self-control required not to yell: "YOU WERE IN FKING GOVERNMENT!"

Understandably, and routinely, the EU wants a penalty clause if we pull out of any reset deal. An insurance policy against Farage. We already pay a very high price for his Brexit shitshow. Now we’d pay even more if he ripped up any improvements. Which he insists he will.

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.

Last year saw:

The lowest murder rate per capita since records began

The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century

One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

I'll strip civil servants of their pensions, but I'm keeping my £73,000 EU pension, despite my attendance record being the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs.

My latest brilliant plan is to prosecute civil servants for letting in foreign sex offenders. By which, of course, I mean 'bad' sex offenders, not good ones like my mates Andrew Tate, Donald Trump, Connor McGregor, or my cheeky upskirting nephew..."

The same people who are raging against Erasmus are the same ones who want cuts and restrictions to Higher Education.
These people fear well-rounded, adventurous, educated, confident young people, relaxed about the rest of Europe.

MAGA: "Ha ha ha ha! New York City just elected a socialist. We are going to turn Zohran Mamdani into the face of the Democratic Party, a bogeyman, and a weight around the necks of all Democrats! Stupid play, suckers!"

TRUMP: "Mamdani is wonderful. He's going to make a great mayor."

MAGA: "What???"

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”

“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”

You can have those for nothing, lads.

It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army.

Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.

It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.

This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

There is no evidence that stripping refugees' rights one by one will have any impact on people crossing the channel.

Taking jewellery from refugees is akin to painting over murals for refugee children.

These repugnant ‘deterrents’ did not work for the Tories, and they won't work for us.

One benchmark of a democracy is whether it is willing to hold those who have served at the very highest levels to account.

Can you imagine the United States ever doing something like this?

The message it conveys is that Trump will not be leaving The White House voluntarily.
