@TheHangedMan18 @nw_nicholas About the only time he ought to be on the panel to face the people he was elected to represent, he goes missing. Why's that?

@nw_nicholas You complain when he's on the panel, but now you are complaining because he is not on the panel. Will you make your bloody mind up?

So no Farage on Question Time from Clacton. Fancy that.

It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us. When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens. Join us - join.greenparty.org.uk

Sadiq Khan just refused to commit to no more new build leasehold buildings in London. Literally moments after banging on about how bad leasehold is and that it's a feudal system. The Labour hypocrisy knows no ends. What do they stand for other than to protect wealth & power?

While initially lobbying US President Donald Trump against attacking Iran, MEE reported that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are shifting closer to backing the war, with Riyadh moving to open King Fahd Air Base in Taif, in Western Saudi Arabia, to the Americans

@BpsmithUk He could have mentioned some of that instead of, or even as well as, attacking Faffage on the other stuff. He made it easy for them to write this headline by ignoring an opportunity that was handed to him on a plate.

On the contrary, "Smash the gangs" has resulted in over 4000 arrests, 900 gangs smashed, half the boats attempting to launch being stopped, thousands of rubber boats & motors seized, importers closed down & 38,000 people with no right to be here deported *in 1 year* under Labour.

This is where we're at @TomSwarbrick1, can retweet a tweet calling Muslims smelly and quietly unretweet knowing that nothing will happen. Gary Lineker lost his job because he didn't see a rat emoji in a clip.

@PolitlcsUK He was ranting about Reform increasing council tax. Which it has. I've just had my bill.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage explains why he walked out of PMQs after Keir Starmer's answer "He started ranting and raving about Reform's councils across the country. In disgust, and against Parliamentary convention, I got up and I walked out"

NEW: Will Google's AI hype man kill the BBC? I've written about Matt Brittin because the coverage of his time at Google is shockingly naive. The BBC's next DG made his career as a yes man at a rapacious AI monopoly that preys on news journalism in order to destroy it. 1/

@PeterStefanovi2 This are such inadequate measures. I wonder why.

A new report into foreign interference in British politics has been released. In response to the findings, Steve Reed has announced a series of changes, including an annual cap on political donations from British citizens overseas of £100,000

Thatcherite recycled Tories! Recycled policies, recycled ideas, ideas that are proven failures. They belong in the bin, and not the recycle bin! For an alternative join.greenparty.org.uk

@pacer142 @jessicaelgot Then why do I get a message from WhatsApp if a backup fails?

@jessicaelgot This is correct, WhatsApp doesn't store messages on their servers, they are transmitted then stored only on your phone - this is one reason for the "privacy" it offers - they can't be subpoenaed to release them because they don't have them, unlike others e.g. Telegram.

It’s definitely possible to lose WhatsApp messages if your phone is stolen. I didn’t realise mine weren’t backing up and lost about a years worth when I changed phones. It was very annoying but I should have checked. Also, I’m not the prime minister’s chief of staff…

@paul_astell @Heccles94 x.com/wesstreeting/s…

@Heccles94 Good questions, although terror-related incidents aren't usually covered, if that's how it's been categorised. Also, the replacements are on loan, presumably until permanent replacements are sourced.

Hi Wes, I appreciate the support and display of solidarity. We cannot allow antisemitism or any forms of hate to win, but three very important questions. 1) Were the ambulances not insured? I thought every ambulance had to be to carry a patient. 2) Will this be the same for any private sector or charity sector health provider going forward? 3) Is this coming from the NHS budget or another budget? Thanks,

A-plus community note, to be fair.

Strange situation where we await a statement from Iran to check whether there's any truth to what US president is saying.

Speaking about the war in Iran, Barrister Michael Mansfield KC tells @WilfredFrost, 'The rule of law and institutions of international law are being ignored; they know perfectly well this is an illegal war.' trib.al/IyMMUDw 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

Is permitting the aggressor to defend your interests in the spirit of Article 51?

@JoStevensLabour I was a member of @UKLabour for nearly 50 years. I’d be really happy if I never saw a single one of you ever again.

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC: • Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards • I cannot make any purchases • I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal • Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated • A colleague told me my name won’t be removed from the blacklist until Trump’s term ends • Despite intervention by the French president, U.S. authorities have not responded

@shashj @owenjonesjourno Shashank, you didn’t just uncritically report these claims (which were being used by Israel to drum up support for genocide) you then implied anyone who questioned them had ulterior motives. x.com/michaeljswalke…

BREAKING: Sitting Labour Councillors in Lewisham, Rudi Schmidt and Tauseef Anwar announce that they have defected to the Green Party. Councillor Schmidt said the following to Novara Media: " I really respect my Labour Party colleagues and listen, there's a lot of hard-working and caring councillors, but what's wrong with the Labour Party really is the national party and the grip it has across local councils. There's developed like a fear, a culture of fear, the fear of speaking out on injustice, as fear of speaking out against austerity, a fear of speaking out against the Labour Party's complicity in Gaza, and I think that almost all authoritarian way of operating has filtered down to local councils"
