Piers Morgan responds to Rikki Doolan's threats to sue him for playing a "deepfake" version of him singing at Tommy Robinson's event. Piers says that including all his time judging for America's and Britain's Got Talent, Doolan is the worst singer he has ever heard in his life.

@archer_rs The #Tory vermin @danny__kruger wrote @David_Cameron's speeches when he was PM and was @BorisJohnson private secretary when he was PM.

Strong rumour that former Conservative MP Danny Kruger who defected to Reform Party Ltd in September last year may well be returning to the Conservatives after expressing his unhappiness with Farage's financial affairs. Negotiations are apparently ongoing.

@SangitaMyska Actually, the argument is that immigration is a GOOD thing.

Bet you won’t see this on the front of the Daily Mail: net migration halved.

The commander of the brigade that killed Hind Rajab has been seriously injured in Lebanon. I'm sure you will all join me in wishing him a speedy non-recovery ♥️

There should be no surprise at behaviour of Ben-Gvir. He , like Netanyahu & his regime, has long ago lost any sense of decency & humanity.What should shock us is our own government continues to sell arms to Israel, refuses to sanction the regime & hasn’t kicked out its ambassador

An utterly vile man

Al Jazeera just broadcast the living, breathing reality of ethnic cleansing Smotrich signed an order to displace a Bedouin community that has lived there since the 1950s. Israeli settlers have four illegal outposts nearby - with water and electricity. Palestinians have nothing The same government that lectures the world about anti-Semitism is systematically erasing the existence of anyone who isn't Jewish

Hatred has no place in our great city. Our statement on The Oxford Union Society. oxford.anglican.org/news/faith-lea…

So Makerfield Reform Candidate Robert Kenyon wanted to smell and lick Carol Vorderman's ar$ehole. All they had to do was pick someone who is not a massive weirdo

There is international condemnation for the behaviour of the vile racist Ben-Gvir, but beyond the words nothing will change. He will remain an Israeli minister and the international community won’t take any real action. But however awful and humiliating the treatment of the flotilla activists, it is nothing compared to that dished out to many Palestinian prisoners. nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

The activists on those flotillas, whose abuse was published by Ben Gvir in a video, have been deported to Turkey, where some of them held a small press conference. An Irish activist described how one woman was beaten by three soldiers while guns were pointed at her....
