"You have an American defence secretary with his hair slicked back, with his suit far too small, bragging that he's instructed his own soldiers to commit a war crime." "Turns out the world's favourite frat boy is actually a fascist." @maitlis | @jonsopel | @lewis_goodall

1.3 million Brits work for American businesses, and vice versa. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 We celebrated our trade and innovation with the King and Queen in NYC with some amazing businesses who are delivering jobs and growth on both sides of the Atlantic.

Marr agrees with me exactly - PA shouldn’t have been proscribed and Starmer shouldn’t have been heckled. Thoroughly offensive. He’s an ally and married to a Jew. #LBC

Had a little look at the candidates for my ward. All of them have run before - indicating commitment ✔️- and the only one without an address is, quelle surprise, the Reform candidate. 🙄 I’ve had the Hitler parliamentary candidate, don’t tell me they’re now pushing a stranger to the area….

Nick Cooper is Reform UK's chairman of the Rayleigh and Wickford Branch. He's also agent for Reform UK candidates in the local elections. Here he is dressed up as a Nazi SS Officer.

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey suggests the antisemitism 'we saw in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, we're now seeing in the Green Party' and that all parties need to clean up their act on anti-Jewish hatred.

An 'exhausted' Eluned Morgan accidentally said "vote Plaid Cymru" during a week-to-go Senedd Election event. The First Minister and leader of Welsh Labour made the slip-up during a campaign event at Barry Island's bandstand on Thursday (30 April). Ending a speech to party members, she said: "For fairness you can feel, vote Welsh Labour in the election next week." She followed up in Welsh by adding: "Pleidleisiwch Plaid Cymru..." meaning "Vote Plaid Cymru", but corrected herself immediately to say "Plaid Lafur" (Labour Party), which was met with laughs and claps by party members. Speaking to ITV Wales' National Correspondent Rob Osborne, the First Minister said: "We're all a little bit exhausted, once you switch into Welsh the word 'Cymru' comes off your lips. #itvnews #politics #wales #walesdecides2026

The reason we don’t want police kicking a perp in the head is because they can’t be seen to be behaving like thugs themselves. Not because we’re particularly concerned about the welfare of the perp.
