@nicksortor “You did not shag Melania, you did not shag Melania…”

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump responds to backlash over an image he posted which seemed to depict him as Jesus "It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better, and I do make people better. I make people a lot better!"

@Acyn @DAaronovitch “You did not shag Melania, you did not shag Melania…”

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

@lewis_goodall Hey! Remind me which parts of the UK is the CofE the established Church!

@TheNewsAgents “… but one thing they have had … throughout that time is an almost unassailable grip on Britain's urban seats.” Eh hello, Lewis. Aren’t you forgetting something? Scotland, the SNP?! Last time I looked Scotland was still part of the UK!

He didn't know about Saville. He didn't know about Mandelson. He didn't know about Doyle. He didn't know about Labour Together. Does anything ever go across Keir Starmer's desk. Does he even have a desk...

@michaelgove … from making a great success of independence!

Never write off Scotland!

@jillrbeattie @AnasSarwar

@AnasSarwar is a snake and a charlatan. This isn’t about Scotland this is it’s all about himself.Who could trust a man with more faces than the town clock .He was more than happy to parade his so called ‘friendship’with Mandelson but now he distances himself. He is an opportunist

@labourlewis Clive Lewis’s call for Starmer to go is based on the danger of Reform at the next GE - understandable & quite correct! @AnasSarwar ‘s call is about the SNP! A Party WELL to the left of Lab, hardly a threat to democracy & our institutions, no, only a threat to Labour.

@RestIsPolitics Alastair, I just heard your monologue & while I hardly disagree with a word you said, something about it didn’t feel quite right & proper. The brilliant pod is a dialogue between you & Rory, not a monologue. Wrong platform methinks, matey!

@DavidLammy ‘A massive mandate’?! Oh come on, David! Labour did not get the support of the UK people - the Tory vote collapsed! Jeez…

Keir Starmer won a massive mandate 18 months ago, for five years to deliver on Labour’s manifesto that we all stood on. We should let nothing distract us from our mission to change Britain and we support the Prime Minister in doing that.

@TheMonologist Brilliant interview

@lembitopik For once I agree with you!

Since Andy Burnham is clearly a better politician than Keir Starmer, banning Burnham from standing for Parliament means Starmer puts his own failing career above the welfare of Britain. Such a self-serving political opportunist has no right to continue as Prime Minister

@Keir_Starmer Oh do fcuk off. Burns was a democrat!

To those in Scotland, and around the world, celebrating over a Burns Supper, I wish you a very Happy Burns Night.

@AndyBurnhamGM I’m very sad, Andy. The principal reason being your support for electoral reform (tho would that have changed if you’d eventually become leader?!). We all have our red lines, I guess. Mine is never voting for a Party that is undemocratic & endorses FPTP. I can’t vote Labour.

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days. You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am disappointed by today’s NEC decision and concerned about its potential impact on the important elections ahead of us. To whoever is Labour’s candidate and to our members in Manchester and Tameside: you will have my full support and I will be there whenever you need me. 1/2

@paulmasonnews Oh Paul, pick your enemies in a better way, please!

Has Zack Polanski said anything about the Iranian revolution ? Anything?

@jurgen_nauditt @KirstenFeldges And save us all a lot of money! I heard yesterday that together Germany & UK’s defence spending is already around the same as Russia’s. ( $150 b for 2024) So let’s get rid of all the individual countries military replication spending & have an independent European armed force.

Spain calls on Europe to establish its own army. "We cannot be dependent on third countries": Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albárez has called on Europe to build its own army and integrate its defense industry. This would allow the continent to act independently of third countries (i.e., the USA) and strengthen its security.

@StandUpForTrmp Non-interventionist?

Describe this man in ONE word

@NickAdamsinUSA Oh FFS!

@RpsAgainstTrump ‘Very aesthetic” President Trump reveals his new battleship design!

Trump: The U.S. Navy will lead the design of the ships along with me because I'm a very aesthetic person

@RpsAgainstTrump “I’m a very aesthetic person”
