This is real leadership and deserves proper media coverage. Instead we are still going to get a media obsessed with 5-MP outfit Reform. It’s a disgrace

Some won’t like me saying this! But Trump’s behaviour at the Mamdani press conference yesterday was his finest moment. Gracious, graceful, open to another view, witty and more. If only that Trump was there all the time! I was positively surprised. #Trump #Mamdani #NewYork

Boris Johnson was a failure as Prime Minister. But I feel frankly that the Covid Inquiry is too harsh. The whole pandemic was so unexpected and unprecedented, it’s easy to look back and judge every move. I think Boris and co tried their best in a very difficult situation. Hindsight is 20/20.

Of course, the awful Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch are standing with anyone against British interests and institutions. But the good news is that the #BBC will be there and thriving long after #Farage and #Badenoch are seen as tiny fascists that never stood a chance against the good ppl of Britain

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk is being absolutely heroic in standing up for the #BBC. Sure mistakes were made. But this is a great news organization that all Brits must be proud of. It has screwed up. But the attack on it by politicians that have broken all lying records in history shd sway no one!

I’ve never supported socialism but it’s clear that #ZohranMamdani ran a campaign that electrified the youth of NYC and beyond with its positive message and its focus on ethical issues like Gaza. The attacks directed at him are the worst in the modern era. Islamophobia unhinged and unabashed.

In this uniquely dangerous moment in British history, is it time for a Yellow & Green Alliance? The #GreenParty under #ZackPolanski is an exciting prospect and it’s appealing to younger voters. #LibDems are also on the march. Should we consider a strategic and long lasting alliance to stop #Reform?

What on earth is Elon Musk doing endorsing this racist thug. Tommy Robinson is on record with the vilest statements against Muslims and all sorts of incitements towards violence against Muslims. What is Elon saying to his Muslim customers around the world ? This needs an urgent answer.
wearing a "what would orwell think" shirt at the Tommy Robinson rally makes my nose bleed
Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

Spot on. Everyone can speak and protest. But when those people choose to do it under the banner of #TommyRobinson, a convicted criminal and a raging racist/Islamophobe, then they have a lot of explaining to do. Yes let’s have an open discussion on immigration and identity but never ever like this.
Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

I’ve seen some pathetic political sights in my time, but nothing quite reaches the lows of the #Reform party conference. It looks sad, hollow and terrifying in equal measure. #NigelFarage is patronizing and totally charmless. How anyone votes for this circus is beyond me.

Film about five-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces in Gaza leave much of audience and many journalists sobbing
A gut-wrenching new film about a five-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces in Gaza last year received a 23-minute standing ovation after its premiere at the Venice film festival on Wednesday.
The Voice of Hind Rajab, directed by Tunisian film-maker Kaouther Ben Hania, had been described by critics as ‘‘the most powerful and urgent entry of this year’s festival”. It left much of the audience and many journalists sobbing as it was screened for the first time. Continue reading...

The #Tories are turning outright fascist against anything Arab and #Palestinian. They think it’s a good election strategy to be openly racist and heartless. Shame on you all!
Conservative MPs jeered when I urged the Prime Minister to help end the starvation and suffering in Gaza. Sickening, but they won’t stop me raising this.

Let’s see what the ethics adviser says, but maybe instead of all this jumping up and down, now would be a good time to discuss how we look after disabled children and build a more caring country.
