Romesh and Bash BOTH giving to refugee charities made me cry. What a fucking gorgeous thing, and a reminder that so much of the noise about boats and general hatred isnât the typical thing. Itâs just a small percentage of loud idiots. #celebritytraitors
Trying to sense media and Twitter reaction to #JeffereyArcher passing. Seems to swing wildly between âhe was such a decent manâ to âpathological liar and plagiarist who had no redeeming qualities and is responsible for the death of a sex workerâ. Iâm leaning towards latter.

The MOST important aspect of this election is whether we continue to have a Republican-controlled Congress acting as a rubber stamp for Trump, his fellow oligarchs and his horrific policies or whether we finally hold them accountable.
Republicans must no longer control Congress.

Nigel Farage has a long documented history of hypocrisy, dishonesty and corruption. As an MEP, he claimed an utterly ridiculous ÂŁ2 million in expenses, which included paying both his wife and mistress salaries from tax-payer's pockets.
He had zero remorse when he was grilled about it on Have I Got News For You.
If you voted for this man, you have to ask yourself some serious questions about your judgement.

Not one Tory politician or supplier of dodgy PPE has done time for the VIP Lane scandal. But a fair few should probably be behind bars.

Thursdayâs @guardian front page: Revealed: More Reform transactions worth millions reported to crime agency theguardian.com/politics/202âŠ
Note how itâs always an unspecific âtheyâ who are out to get him. This is straight from the hard right populist playbook - distract from dodgy (laundered??) donations by creating a fictional âenemyâ. What a vile, repugnant and lying grifter @Nigel_Farage is.

Nigel Farage: "I'm going to ignore the wishes of Henry Nowak's family and extract every ounce of political capital from their son's death".
Nigel Farage: "Leave my family alone"

It's almost as if Coutts were entirely justified in giving Nigel Farage a wide berth
The walls are closing in on @Nigel_Farage and not before time. This shameless, hate-pedalling and wealth-obsessed conman has grifted his way through our politics without any form of decency or respect for the rules. Well done @thetimes for its proper investigative journalism.
Sad echoes of @andyburnhamâs disastrous âheart of Labourâ leadership bid in 2015. Londonâs not buying your un-mandated vibes, pal. You and your little coterie have turfed out a statesman, a leader and principled PM who put his countryâs interests first. Itâs not going to end well

hold on. the plp threw a tantrum, because starmer wasnât moving fast enough and now this charlatan wants ten years?!
Burnham warns it will take 10 years to reset Britain

I know that I will be hammered for this -but I believe Burnham's behaviour yesterday was tasteless.
*A very public rail journey to London.
*Undignified swearing in.
*Organised photo call with a crowd of Labour MPs.
*His assumed entitlement to be PM
A total lack of self awareness.

Andy Burnham hasnât been in parliament for years. No involvement in international politics, failed twice to lead the Party.
He is extremely out of his depth and under qualified to just walk into number 10.
What he and his associates are doing is reckless.
Con Franklin retweeted
Starmer is a good PM.
He just pissed off the right people (Press barons, billionaires and fascists) who have the power and tools to make the politically illiterate believe he isnât doing a good job.
The Daily Fail, X and GB âNewsâ are examples of the propaganda.
Con Franklin retweeted
Well that marked the end of our brief two years as a serious country again. Well done everyone.
Back to vibes, shits and giggles it is.
Britain is done.
I am ashamed.
The Parliamentary #LabourParty has lost its mind. Itâs going to choose ego over competence and serious-minded governance. If he does wangle his way into No. 10, Burnhamâs honeymoon period will be the shortest in history.
