This journalist is literally inviting Jenrick to share his views, while being accused of shutting down the debate! Astonishing.
Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran.

Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve.

Exactly what Netanyahu wanted.

They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.
