@nw_nicholas Saint George was born in Cappadocia (modern day Turkey) to a Cappadocian father and Palestinian mother. Brown skin and a beard. Oh dear.

@SkyNewsPolitics Grenade? He was answering a question from Edward Morello. Q604. "Did the No. 10 operation propose any other political appointees during your tenure as permanent secretary?"

"Skilled Whitehall operator" Sir Olly Robbins "lobbed a grenade" in his parliament appearance by mentioning Downing Street's attempt to get Matthew Doyle a diplomatic job, says James Lyons, who succeeded Doyle as No. 10's director of communications. trib.al/61UlQ1M

Olly Robbins is making it abundantly clear, the passing and denying clearance as claimed by the press simply doesn’t exist. The press, in particular @PippaCrerar and @guardian need to hang their heads in shame in not getting this fundamental fact right before breaking their news.

A reminder: Olly Robbins made his decision to give Peter Mandelson clearance without seeing the UKSV vetting form he overturned - or even knowing the details. This is UKSV form - as we revealed the two red boxes were ticked for Mandelson. Astonishing that Robbins didn’t know.

@charlotteukcity @EdwardJDavey I agree. Mandelson appointment was to deal with Trump. Seems ppl would like to see a govt that is putting money into education (c/f questions before PM's speech) effectively brought down by Trump, Epstein and Mandelson. Lib Dems no longer have my vote. @mariecgoldman

@EdwardJDavey I have always supported you @EdwardJDavey but what was shocking to me today wasn’t Keir, but you! It was you who showed no loyalty to a politician you know has integrity, but your desire to send votes your way was more important to you. That was extremely disappointing to see.

The PM says the facts about Peter Mandelson’s appointment are “incredible”. He’s right. But what’s truly shocking is just how badly he's let the country down. He promised change after years of Conservative scandals and scapegoating. Instead, he’s delivered more of the same.

The case being made for the defence of @Keir_Starmer this morning appears to be that neither the Prime Minister nor any other minister knew how vetting works & no official pointed this out to them. No wonder @darrenpjones told @BBCr4today it was “quite frankly flabbergasting”.

@TimesRadio @StigAbell He wd have to have given some response. If he said income tax that was your chance to challenge him on tax cuts promised in the 2024 GE that both he and Tice soon walked back on. You could ask him whether he thought ppl voted Reform then on the promise of a £1500 a year cut. 2/2

“Reform did not promise to cut council tax in the local elections.” “I’ve seen the leaflets!” Reform’s Zia Yusuf says he personally reviewed leaflets for the last local elections, arguing none of them said council taxes would be cut or frozen. @StigAbell

@TimesRadio @StigAbell With respect you need to frame your questions better. If you have a local leaflet which says cut taxes and he says they didn't promise to cut council tax you then ask what taxes they meant. 1/2

@bmay ... but both Yusuf and Tice have walked back on explicit tax cut promises made in 2024 GE contract. Journalists need to frame their questions better to catch these disingenous tricksters out. How many ppl voted for them in 2024 on promise of £1500 a year income tax cut? 2/2

Reform imbecile insisting that his party’s leaflets never claimed they’d cut council tax, despite actual leaflets issued by Reform being read out to him live on air. This is how Brexit happened, these people are entirely immune to any form of basic fact.

@bmay I loathe Reform but pledges on leaflets I have seen were nothing to do with local govt. Stop the boats. Scrap net zero. This how they fool people by confusing local & central govt responsibility. 1/2

@Justine_Roberts You need to get a grip on your Gransnet platform to stop it being an echo chamber for the Daily Mail and the Reform Party. Toxic old people making racist posts on a daily basis. Appalling. #gransnet #mumsnet #racism

@MartinSLewis Growing up in the 1960s I called my friends' parents Mr and Mrs. I was unaware of their first names until late teens/adulthood. At work as a young manager in the early 1980s I was called Miss [name] by staff much older than me. By 1990s it was first names.

Was watching an old TV show where the kids didn't call their friend's parents by their first names, but as "Mr Smith" or "Mrs Jones" much as I did in the 80s. Yet it would feel bizarre to me, if my daughter's friends called me Mr Lewis now. When did it change (or has it not for you)?

"Why are young people flocking to Restore Britain?" I spoke to Britain's youngest elected councillor, who recently defected to Restore Britain, on why young people are moving towards this new right-wing political party.
