Superb political ad. One of the best you’ll see. This is better, and resonates more, than anything coming from Labour or the Tories.

Sometimes I honestly cannot believe the government is seriously proposing people could be convicted and sent to prison for TWO YEARS (two years?!?) by the Magistrates’ Court with the automatic right of appeal safeguard removed. You read direct research like this 👇🏼 and shudder.

BREAKING: Labour MP says “lying bastard” Morgan McSweeney is “still running the job”. Following my investigation yesterday into McSweeney’s unlikely account of a “phone theft”, the MP for East Hull, @KarlTurnerMP, has granted me an exclusive interview. Here’s what he told me:🧵

I’ve been an NHS doctor for over 15 years I can sit here and confidently tell you that the NHS is worse today than it has ever been Streeting’s NHS funding cuts, doctor replacement, referral refusals have led to astronomical hospital wait lists & GPs on the brink of collapse

Today 58 out of 516 crown courts aren’t sitting (@Court_Stats ). Surely the best way to address the crown court backlog is to increase court sitting days, not limit jury trials?! Turns out per @Kirsty_Brimelow that 25% of defendants are brought to court over 5hrs late too!

This Lammy plan will do more damage to the criminal justice system than any Lord Chancellor of any political party ever did do. I am truly ashamed of this ludicrous policy. I have every confidence that MPs and the Lords won’t let this ludicrous policy see the statute book.

I’ve submitted these formal Parliamentary Written Questions following reports that Morgan McSweeney’s phone was stolen. Given the serious impact this could have on getting the truth about the Mandelson scandal (and even on the Labour Together scandal), we need answers.

Giving evidence to the House of Commons Committee scrutinising the Bill to restrict jury trials, Samantha Hillas KC says that a 20% saving takes a 5 day trial to 4 but that a judge has to then write a ruling: ‘When is that going to be written? That’s your fifth day, isn’t it?’

Giving evidence to the House of Commons Committee scrutinising the Bill to restrict jury trials, the Chair of the Bar suggests that instead of restricting juries that we have specialist courts focused on sexual offences & abuse cases which: ‘was in the Labour party manifesto’🔥

“Greens can’t win” → “Greens are sectarian” → “Greens are winning white working-class voters” Turns out we’re not dividing communities. We’re uniting them to beat Reform — and making hope normal again. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

None of this is convincing. If Wes Streeting has disappearing WhatsApps as he claims here, how did he self publish his WhatsApp messages between himself and his good friend Peter Mandelson? The answer: All WhatsApp messages are stored in the cloud

Susanna Reid: "The investigation into Lord Mandelson.. Morgan McSweeney, who did the vetting for Mandelson, & whose messages with Mandelson are so critical to this investigation, his phone got stolen a month after Lord Mandelson was sacked" Convenient! #GMB

David Davis MP@DavidDavisMP·
Tom Hayes is a victim of a miscarriage of justice. He was wrongly imprisoned for five and a half years. He is owed nearly £300,000 by the Government. Yet, because of internal disagreement among Government departments over who should pay, he has not seen a penny. I raised Tom's case in the @HouseofCommons earlier today 👇🏻
