The Today programme this morning interviewed Diana Furchgott-Roth, a senior staff member at the Heritage Foundation, about Trump's climate policies, during which she came out with the zinger: “a lot of people like it a bit warmer.”

How is it in the public interest to platform anti-science tripe?

This interview presented a really solid take on the situation in Russia. Putin has one sole hope for survival: and he sits in the White House.

Lib Dem policymaking on the economy is such a bad state, I think because of the combination of “Ed Davey runs a v closed inner circle”, “in addition, Ed Davey is the party’s most established economist and therefore actually new thinking just doesn’t happen”.
"We'll move the Treasury to Birmingham" is maybe the funniest thing this could have been

Starmer:

• Not mentioned once in the Epstein Papers
• Bad judgement call over Mandelson

Media - Resign Now!

Farage:

• Mentioned over 40 times
• Bad judgement over Nathan Gill
• Reform "treasurer" Nick Candy linked to Epstein
• Bannon was Farage advisor

Media - Nothing to see here

In Reform-led Worcestershire Council we are planning the highest council tax rise in England. Yes, we promised to lower taxes, but only a gullible fuckwit would believe that, right? 😉 Vote Reform, get what you deserve!

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles.
We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive.

Today, we present our 20th sanctions package.

Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy.
And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.
OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

Only Labour can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. Zack Polanski knows this - that's why he was too chicken to stand himself.
