@ITVNewsPolitics @itvnews Hang on! Some independent election observers saw it, so much so that they commented on it publicly after the Polls closed. Suggest the Police speak to those witnesses.

🚨And there you have it. Lindsay Hoyle misled the house by omitting the fact that he has the power to pause proceedings and ask the prime minister to answer the question. He was quite happy to do this with Boris, but he REFUSES to do it with Keir Starmer. Absolute disgrace.
Lee Harris@LeeHarris

🚨Father of the House Sir Edward Leigh raises a point of order about Keir Starmer NEVER answering questions at PMQs. Lindsay Hoyle says there is nothing he can do. NONSENSE! He can pause proceedings and ask Keir Starmer to answer, but he *never* does. ABSOLUTELY USELESS!

@montie @stellacreasy I think this law is appalling, Tim, but it appears to have slipped through with little debate. Amazingly callous attitude to murdering perfectly viable babies.

Some of the personal abuse that @stellacreasy has experienced in recent days has been off-the-scale. The abuse directed at women on social media is one of the most disturbing things I've learnt from being on this platform. It needs to be said, however, that this week's change in abortion laws - of which she is a prominent aupporter - is one of the most sickening changes to British society ever. It's now legal in this country to "terminate" up until birth. It's basically infanticide. We're killing babies that could easily survive outside the womb and it's been done without any meaningful public debate - piggy-backing as an amendment to a barely relevant bill. Dark. Dark in so many ways. I don't use the word "wicked" lightly but that's what this legislation is. And that so few people in this country even seem to care about what is now lawful is the saddest thing of all. "Great" Britain? Not while this law stands.

Brazilian politican does blackface to protest Trans man being appointed chair of Women’s Rights Committee. Fabiana Bolsonaro said putting on black makeup doesn’t make you black while comparing it to the trans politician identifying as a woman.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

Can a lawyer explain why it’s legally permissible for the Muslim mayor of London to join a bunch of Muslims in prayer in Trafalgar Square, instead of in a mosque, while one young Christian man is held to be breaking the law if he, alone, proclaims his faith in the street? If a lawyer sees this I’d like an informed opinion please.

@scottiebateman In 1954, I flew with my mother and brother from Blackbushe in Surrey to Singapore on a Skyways Hermes. It took eight days as it broke down in Delhi and another engine had to be flown out! None of this high altitude flying either.

London to Hong Kong once took a week. Tonight we’ll do it while most people sleep. This evening I’ll push the A350 away from Heathrow and point it toward Hong Kong one last time for a while before my flying turns westward next month. It’s easy now to forget just how extraordinary this route really is. Tonight we’ll cross half the planet in a single sweep: Europe, Central Asia, and on toward the South China Sea. Even with modern geopolitics bending our track around closed airspace and conflict zones, the journey is still measured in hours. But when this route first opened in the 1930s, London to Hong Kong wasn’t a flight. It was an expedition. The old Imperial Airways flying boats crept east in stages, London to the Mediterranean, on through the Middle East, across India, then down through Southeast Asia. Passengers slept in hotels between sectors while aircraft were refuelled and prepared for the next leg. What we now fly overnight once took a week or more. The geography hasn’t changed, deserts, mountains and oceans still lie between Europe and Asia, but the scale of human possibility has. What once required patience and persistence now requires only a long night and the quiet reliability of a modern aircraft. One more crossing of this remarkable corridor before my compass swings west for a while. Different destinations ahead. Same sky above.

🚨BREAKING: The UK government is now trying to take down Labour25.com — the website that lists every convicted paedophile linked to the Labour Party. It would be an absolute tragedy if it got shared and went viral. You know what to do 👇

If you are in America and, rightly, feeling disappointed by Keir Starmer’s response it’s worth pointing out that only 15% of Brits think he’s doing a good job. Most of us, like you, think he is a total embarrassment.

@GBNEWS Why aren’t voters in polling stations told to obey the rules? Forget cultural sensitivities, they break the law which applies to all of us.
