“NHS will always be free at the point of entry…” When I eat at a restaurant, it’s free at the point of entry - it’s afterwards when the bill arrives. Is this what @reformparty_uk and @Nigel_Farage mean for our NHS? #bbcqt

“ hang on, there are people in this audience who support reform “ says Fi. I expect she knows where they’re sitting too …. #bbcqt

Kemi Badenoch's decision to throw her weight behind Nick Timothy is a defining moment. The Tory party under her leadership is a cesspit of Islamophobic hatred and racist bigotry. My new column for Middle East Eye: middleeasteye.net/opinion/nick-t…

FIFA has just announced it will not ban Israel from the World Cup. Instead it is giving the Israeli football federation a 'light fine' for discrimination against Palestinians. FIFA needs to be cancelled.

Trump: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi thinking to herself: “Holy fucking shit did this asshole just say that? Yep, yep he did. This asshole really just said that.”

Whiplash listening to this Reform spokesperson. Complaining energy bills are going up yet Reform support this illegal & unpopular war. They have constantly opposed investment in green infrastructure to secure our energy security - which would massively reduce bills. #BBCQT

Kemi Badenoch's surreal car crash interview on #C4News Gary Gibbon, "You said you want the RAF to be allowed to launch missiles against Iranian targets" Kemi Badenoch, "If they are striking British bases, yes" Gary Gibbon, "You want them more involved?" Kemi Badenoch, "It's not an escalation it's a defensive position" Gary Gibbon, "I think that's joining in a war, not a war we were consulted on" Kemi Badenoch, "This is true" Gary Gibbon, "This is not a war that has been thought through" Kemi Badenoch, "I agree with that" Gary Gibbon, "Do you agree that it is an illegal war?" Kemi Badenoch, "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "Will you answer if it's legal?" Kemi Badenoch, "I've already answered multiple questions on whether it is legal or not" "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "So whatever Donald Trump starts, we join in?" Kemi Badenoch, "Let's be clear, Iran is an enemy of this country" "Prime Minister Keir Starmer maybe thinks he can sit on the fence and hope it can go away, that's not happening" "You talk about inflation, oil shocks, these things happen" Gary Gibbon, "They happen because of this war"

I've never been elected to public office, neither a cllr or an MP so what justification is there for @joshsimonsmp and @LabourTogether and APCO spying on my whereabouts at conference and as recently as 11th July 2025 when I had left @UKLabour and was on a @BBCPolitics panel?

@johnmcdonnellMP Absolutely disgusting. Why are you still in that appalling party John?

Israel is threatening to destroy Tyre. Tyre (Sour) is Lebanese. But also part of world history: cradle of Phoenician seafaring, source of Tyrian purple - the colour of Roman Emperors, the birthplace of Stoicism, and site of Alexander’s famous siege. An assault on us all.

We condemn you, and all the terrorists in Washington and Tel Aviv that are responsible for creating hell on earth.

Who is 'we'? And what brought about the Iranian retaliation?

No other European state is prepared to let US bombing runs on Iran overfly their airspace. Starmer lets them actually load their bombs and take off from UK airfields. He calls it "defensive" bombing.

🚨BREAKING -- British journalist Steve Sweeney has been targeted by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon.

@andreaheywood11 @sharpeleven Absolutely. Never trusted him.

@Harryb22 @sharpeleven In 1997, Mandelson was the architect of Excalibur, the Labour HQ super computer database of killer facts to provide rapid rebuttal of Tory lies. I guess he found a way to harness incriminating data on Red Tories, Starmer included, in the years since then. 😏 #ChaosWithKeir

I’m thinking Mandelson put Starmer where he is and Starmer knows Petey holds the receipts. What a tangled web….

@tobagodream @Labourheartland @Keir_Starmer It is. Not as forensic as many thought…

@Labourheartland @Harryb22 @Keir_Starmer This is an appalling response by Starmer.

It didn’t matter which tribe of the duopoly you belong to, anyone watching PMQs could see the same thing. Frustration. Across the House. @Keir_Starmer stood there reading from a script, sticking to it regardless of the question. It was like a technical fault, a question asked, a completely different answer given. PMQs stops being scrutiny and becomes stage-managed theatre. This isn’t just poor politics. It’s a mockery of democratic accountability. Forty minutes reduced to rehearsed lines and unanswered questions. But then… Well done, Andrew Snowdon MP. After the Prime Minister brushed aside question after question on his involvement in the #Mandelson affair, one finally landed. A clean, direct question, delivered with the weight of a frustrated public, catching the Prime Minister square on the nose... but even then, red-faced and dazed, he went on to repeat a response that said anything but the answer... did he interview Mandelson personally? #PMQs #MandelsonFiles #EPSTEINFILESNOW

Why the heck are we letting warmongers expose us all to higher energy prices because they want to willie-wave. It’s utter madness. Destruction of lives and infrastructure. Who benefits? I wonder how many oil shares Trump and Netanyahu have?

Netanyahu says Israel is transforming the Middle East and asserting itself as a regional power. This is the language of Zionism not the language of Judaism. Turning Judaism into a banner for political expansion only puts Jewish communities at risk.
