@HadleyFreeman It could be argued that not doing Brexit broke the country.

@ShippersUnbound I look forward to his analysis regarding the pope's religious leaning.

Hard to beat this level of analysis

If Labour MPs don’t step back from the brink, they will plunge the country as well as their party into chaos.
English
The cabinet ministers urging Keir Starmer to consider setting out an orderly timetable for his resignation include the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, the foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, and the energy secretary, Ed Miliband - so holders of two of the great offices of state and a former Labour leader.
Tomorrow’s cabinet meeting will be more than usually consequential. His allies tell me he can and will resist the pressure to quit. Quite the game of chicken.

Who are we at war with? Did I miss something?
Paul Mason@paulmasonnews
I do not want a left-right leadership battle in Labour while we're running the govt in time of war and threat. I do not want a "timetable for departure" ending in September. 1/...
English
Our politics really is dominated by a bunch of know-nothing amateurs. Those urging Keir Starmer to announce a timetable for his departure don’t seem to realise the moment he does that he ceases, de facto, to be PM.

@jeremycorbyn For a minute I thought you were going to get it. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years.
Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all.
People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

@rte I wish I could take the rights to show it away from you.

RTÉ and other public service broadcasters in Slovenia and Spain will not show the Eurovision Song Contest this week as they boycott the event over Israel's participation.

British Government in a shambles tonight. Nobody quite clear who’s in charge. Who would have thought Labour would be been even more useless than the Tories? Starmer living on borrowed time. Support ebbing away. But to what? Nobody knows. The world has rarely been more dangerous in modern times and we barely have a government.
English
@lowles_nick Don't be so modest. You also played a major part in Labour's downfall.
English
Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer’s leadership, but for the very future of the party

@BorisJohnson Paging Guiness Book of Records... is this a new hypocrisy record?

Falling birth rates aren’t a disaster, they’re the best bit of global news in a long time

@hellothisisivan He must hate him as much as Ian "H" Watkins hates that Lost Prophets bloke.

Former Spandau Ballet singer Ross Davidson will be sentenced today for forcing himself on women who refused him. One of his victims suffered 'severe psychological harm' and 'lost all self belief.' He faces jail for offences against six women.

@moveincircles I wonder if there is a legal principle regarding ownership of the land, seeing as the university is saying it's on Aboriginal land?
I'd find it absolutely hilarious if they were taken to court.
English
A remarkable example of the way digital media dissolves the preconditions for exactly this kind of territoriality
I'm not on Aboriginal land, I'm in Britain, but I still get the popup. The effect is to make the whole exercise even more nonsensical than it already was
English
This is outrageous. The guy is clearly incapacitated on the ground, having rightfully and thankfully been tased, yet two police officers are repeatedly kicking him in the head.
Who do they think they are: members of the IDF?

I’m not sure why we still have a monarch. It seems like a medieval anachronism to me; a demonstration of inherited status and the the pinnacle of an entrenched aristocracy. And I’m really not sure why our monarch has gone to the US to stand next to another man with too much power, land and money.

Day 14 of being absolutely vile
Went outside. Enjoyed the sun.

@kelvmackenzie I misread your tweet as "talking horse". Was hoping for some Mr Ed content.
English
The quickest way to tip Starmer out of No.10 is on May 8 a no-hoper Labour MP ( there’s plenty of them) to act as a stalking horse with just one policy; To allow Andy Burnham to stand for Parliament.
That would easily get the 80MPs required. Then the heavies could pile in.
Starmer would be gone in a heartbeat.

@Dennynews But he's an open-border idiot so he thinks nobody should have a lock.

On the UK Government rejecting an IndyRef2 in the future, Polanski said: "It's like having a house party and your guests tell you they really don't want to be there, but you've locked the door. So ultimately, I think people need to have keys to their own front door."

Asked if it would "legally problematic" to remove assets from people he disagreed with politically - in this case Donald Trump and his Scottish golf courses - Zack Polanski said: "I think more problematic is a genocide in Gaza".

Today we celebrate a Turkish migrant worker who never set foot in England and in 2026 would probably be barred.
Happy St George’s Day.

We may be in the gutter, but at least we can look down on 'human rights' lawyers
