Where are all the "revoke Shamima Begum's citizenship she's a traitor people" today, I wonder.
Nathan Gill; A traitor who was at the very top of Reform UK, aiding and abetting Russian adversaries, has been sentenced today.
Reform UK should be ashamed. Britain deserves better.

@benkentish.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Hi Ben, I've switched on after Champions League highlights. The people of these islands - Irish, Scottish, English, Welsh, Manx, etc - are wonderfully creative in all of our diversity. I'm also proud of how the UK has backed Ukraine. And of generosity to charities.

In shock news, Liz Truss's Stilton and Cheddar deal with Japan... actually led to a year on year decrease in Stilton and Cheddar exports to Japan.
The deal was largely a rollover of the one the European Union already had with Japan, but Truss had fought for better access for Stilton and cheddar.
Liz Truss's drive for Stilton exports to Japan proved a flop
Reader's voice: Shall I say it? Liberal England replies: Go on then. Reader: That. Is. A. Disgrace. Liberal England: Thank you. Liz Trus...

Katie Lam, the shadow home secretary saying legal migrants need to be deported (The Times) will be seen by many as the most racist comment we’ve heard in recent years. Why this isn’t headline news is scandalous. Which will translate to many as acceptance and agreement. Britain needs to get a grip.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Assuming Kemi Badenoch's story in the Amol Rajan interview is true, it's confirmed rather than altered or modified my view of her: I find her repellent and completely lacking in empathy.
Her farewell Tory leader's speech in Manchester this October will be hubris.

Former Tory MP Adam Holloway has defected to Reform. As someone who 'mistakenly' overclaimed £1,000 on expenses, defended an MP who sexually assaulted a 15 year old and tried to influence a judge over another MP charged with sexual assault, he should fit in perfectly.

So Reform is going to send a group inspired by DOGE into Kent council. A few questions:
Will it build a massive database with the private details of every Kent resident?
Will it sack all the bin men/women one day, try to get them back the next?
Will it hire ‘Big Balls’?
Who gets the daily Ketamine?
