EXCL: Reform will launch its attack ad blitz on Andy Burnham today. I can exclusively reveal the first set of ads the party will plaster across social media. The graphics attempt to paint Burnham as a career opportunist putting personal ambitions above the people of Makerfield. Here they are 👇
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham says he would ban VAR if he had the power "You can't celebrate a goal because you think someone, somewhere in an industrial unit is going to rule it out"
lIf you do anything today, watch @MaeveHalligan at the Cambridge Union. I genuinely think this was the first time many people in that room were confronted with the hard reality of the trans debate, rather than the slogans that usually surround it. @BuckAngel was exceptional: calm, articulate, humane. Ultimate respect. And then there was Helen Webberley. I remember once thinking the criticism directed at her by GC women was excessive, especially the claim she was ‘pure evil’. After hearing her speak, I no longer think that. She is totally insincere. I can deal with hard ideologues- they believe they are telling the truth; they are genuine, @HelenWebberley is different. One audience member, a trans-identified male and former patient of hers, stood to speak during points of information. His account of how he had been treated was deeply disturbing. Watch the full debate. It is worth your time.

The main things I learnt working with @Nigel_Farage 1. His word is not his bond. 2. He does not write emails - no paper trail. 3. He has zero ability to do any detail: 1-hour meetings turn into 56 minutes of Nigel talking about Nigel and 4 mins on the subject the meeting was about. 4. Nigel has no real friends - everyone and everything is expendable. 5. Nigel has enormous energy, but a lot of it is wasted because he drinks and parties too much. 6. Nigel is not an intellectual - he thinks Jordan Peterton is boring. 7. Nigel has spies. 8. Nigel loves money and spends it like water. 9. Nigel surrounds himself with rather facile young men like the convicted posh George. 10. Nigel does not really like working if it is not him being a showman - I cannot even imagine him reading a policy paper. 11. Nigel dictates tweets to Dan Dukes. 12. Nigel has a powerful lawyer behind the scenes who keeps files on people. 13. Nigel is vicious - the plastic sheen is a facade that cons so many people. 14. No idea if Nigel actually has any morality or values or what he believes in except fame and money. @RupertLowe10
Far from the “victory for democracy” celebrated by Barack Obama and EU leaders, Péter Magyar’s election as prime minister of Hungary last month represents the success of a sophisticated system of electoral manipulation. By using a coordinated strategy to undermine Hungary’s conservative nationalist leader, Viktor Orbán, and promote the pro-EU candidate, Magyar, globalists elites in Europe and the United States ensured a pro-Brussels victory in Hungary. They did so without the need to annul results, as was necessary in Romania, or to bar candidates outright, as was done in Romania and France. Financial blackmail, lawfare, censorship, and selective intelligence leaks did the job. @yhazony @willchamberlain @JackPosobiec @RomanowskiPL @ZiobroPL Link to the full article below
“We would like to explore twinning with a Palestinian town.” The new Green mayor of Lewisham Liam Shrivastava tells #TimesRadio he is “very keen” to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.
@TheNewsAgents @lewis_goodall Best barring since Peggy Mitchell kicked people out the Queen Vic. Be gone, Little Louis! 🤣
