It is time for apologies @CraigMurrayOrg but from you.

Who actually worries about the state of the UK government's "climate credentials"? Who loses sleep because Britain might not be a "world leader on ending oil and gas"? These are top-tier luxury anxieties that very few people experience. And they are completely irrational.

Decided to check, and there are 10 youth clubs within two miles of the M&S. We must wonder what density of youth clubs is required to prevent mass robberies.

As someone with many years involvement in the physical movement of natural gas around Europe from field to end customer the ignorance in this post physically pains me.

🚨 BREAKING: Three people have been charged over the arson attack on the Jewish community ambulances Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old dual British-Pakistani national will appear in court tomorrow

Hmmm

Just so everyone knows what's going on in terms of hatred of Jews on the British left: John Rees, the co-founder of @STWuk who organise the pro-Palestinian marches in our cities, is saying that a Jewish person in public office who is member of a synagogue is unacceptable.

Well done Chancellor - and a long overdue intervention by the Treasury. Balance of payments, fiscal & sterling boost would all act to lean into what will be a painful living standards squeeze. Rachel Reeves opens rift with Miliband by backing North Sea drilling thetimes.com/article/5490c7…

A man well known for his fanatical adherence to an archaic, religiose legal code totally unsuited to the conditions of the modern world, receiving a visit from the President of Syria.

We desperately need a Mayor who actually gives a shit about crime. 4.99% council tax increase in Lambeth borough for 2026/27 btw...

Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Boots, all locked down

Update. Have just tried to go to M&S on Clapham high street. It is flanked by police who inform me all shops on the high street are closed as they are being looted by teenagers. Lawful citizens can’t shop, private businesses closed. Youths still causing havoc. Lawless London.

I’ve been a loyal Labour MP for 16 years and have only broken the whip on jury trials. I’m disappointed to be suspended without prior discussion. I’ll always stand up for justice, my principles, and East Hull. See my statement below.

I am being told that I have had the whip suspended but I have not had any notification from the whips about this. It seems journalists have been told but I have not.

Really shameless posturing given how much Reeves has personally increased supermarket costs with huge employers NI rise. Whose pockets did Reeves think that would come from if not supermarket shoppers & workers?

Gratifying to see Slow Boring write against the Chagos deal—with a sprinkling of American incredulity that this is where Britain has ended up. They land in a similar place to my leader in @TheEconomist from when the deal was first proposed.

Brilliant. Say you’re a journalist and it’s a “war crime” to kill you, even if you “work for an enemy organisation”. So says the BBC’s World Affairs Editor. It’s not what the Geneva Conventions say, but who cares? In John’s world even if you work for Hizballah and are buried in a Hizballah-flag-draped coffin (as happened here), killing you is a war-crime. Britain’s national broadcaster has become a national embarrassment. For those interested in what the Geneva Conventions say, have a read of what is known as Protocol I, adopted on 8th June 1977 as an addition to the Geneva Conventions of 12th August 1949. At article 79.2 it states that journalists are protected so long as they “take no action adversely affecting their status as civilians” and at article 51.3 it states more generally that “Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this Section, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.” John’s is not giving us analysis, he’s trotting out propaganda. Who’d have imagined it, from the man who days ago was telling us what a soft spot he had for the IRGC’s Ali Larijani? John also seems to have had “a sneaking kind of liking” for Saddam Hussein, found Colonel Gaddafi “quite pleasant”, and Bashar Al Assad didn’t really mean it, he was just “anxious to please”. The BBC’s new Director General, Matt Brittin, really has his work cut out.

Them: "What radicalised you..." Me:

If half of all migrant children live in poverty doesn't that suggest there is something deeply wrong with our immigration system? It's meant to be good for the economy, not a mechanism for importing poor people and then putting them on benefits.
