I do despair at #Newsnight Paddy O’Connell signs off with an aside to Nick Watt that Labour “thought it would be easy taking over from the Conservatives. No they fucking didn’t. What evidence does he have for this absurd claim?

@BBCsarahsmith Sounds like a cosy interview with a serial liar and convicted felon with very little pushback or serious questioning. Fear you think this is a bit of a scoop. But really you’re just complicit with the normalising of an authoritarian madman.

🚨NEWS: I spoke with Trump by phone earlier today: we discussed the upcoming royal visit, whether Sir Keir Starmer can recover following strained US-UK relations over the last 2 months of war with Iran, and what his social media threats against Iran really mean. 🧵👇

Nick Watt on #Newsnight has ceased to be a remotely serious journalist and instead become a peddler of gossip. Alas it’s the way so much BBC journalism has gone at a time when more than ever we need a serious BBC as a contrast to the bilge elsewhere.

This is essentially correct though I suspect many of us feared this would end in tears. It’s another example of how the malign presence of Trump distorts decision making thousands of miles away.

1/3 The constant intrigue over Starmer-Mandelson is exhausting. We all know what happened & why. Starmer wanted Mandelson in the US because he was widely thought to be someone who could humour Trump & prevent him harming UK interests. Very few protested at the time.

Starmer has taken many missteps over the whole Mandelson affair. Not least appointing him in the first place. But on the current imbroglio Sophie here gets to the nub of it. Disappointing for all the PM’s right wing media enemies and Mason and Montague on #wato but there we go.

Key line of Sir Olly Robbins letter to Ctte: "When the PM informed the house that the proper process had been followed in respect of National Security Vetting, he was correct" In other words: He followed process & didn't do anything wrong. PM knows that too.

Quite a turnaround this contrition from Carlson and his full throated pro-Trump rants of yestermonth. Be nice to see same from Fox, GB News, Spectator, Spiked and the other oligarch-backed media. But welcome though it is, it’s also just positioning for a run at the presidency.

TUCKER CARLSON: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.” This is a very humble and honest statement. Big respect to Tucker.

Man’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.

This is you, former Conservative MP, now sitting Reform MP, Andrew Rosindell, writing to former President of the United States, Joe Biden 6 years ago proposing the UK hands to Chagos islands to Mauritius and rents them back on a 99-year lease.

Andrew Rosindell MP 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿@AndrewRosindell

After a gruelling and now hard won fight, tonight the Chagos surrender deal seems to have finally been thrown into the dustbin of history. It was a shameful deal, built on fundamentally flawed principles. No British Government has the moral right to barter away the sovereignty of British territory to a foreign power without the full, meaningful consent of its people. The Chagossians have been woefully ignored for decades and decades - whether that was back in the 1960s when Labour dispossessed them from their ancestral homeland, or under the Conservatives who refused to allow resettlement or self-determination to the Chagossian people, and Labour today, surrendering their islands to Mauritius, while the British taxpayer foots an eye-watering bill for the privilege. For over twenty years, I have campaigned on this issue, and it has been astonishing - truly astonishing - to watch Labour ministers attempt to defend the indefensible. Handing over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, only to lease back a vital strategic asset at enormous cost, was never a sensible or sustainable course of action and to argue that they were doing so for the sake of our national security would be laughable if it wasn’t outright dangerous. It was a diplomatic absurdity and a betrayal of our national interest. That this proposal has now unravelled only reinforces how ill-conceived it was from the outset. The reported costs, running into the billions, represent a staggering burden on the British taxpayer for no benefit, while simultaneously placing the future of the critically important base at Diego Garcia in jeopardy. I hope this shocking episode serves as a wake-up call that this Government cannot be trusted with our national security. The principle must now be restated that British sovereignty over the Chagos Islands, or any of other British Overseas Territories, are not for sale and not up for negotiation. Self-determination must be upheld and Britain must stand firm in defence of our territories and the rights of their inhabitants.

Bernard Jenkin has always been an insufferable prick but he’s surpassing himself on #Newsnight tonight.
