Don't think there was a single Reform UK MP in the House of Commons for the Urgent Question on the Russian spy ship.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.
He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

Feeling physically sick to hear on the news Shabana Mahmood saying that “illegal migration is tearing the country apart” which she must know is not true. What’s “tearing the country apart” is the cynical entrepreneurs of fear and hate who have gleefully pushed this non-issue.

What a time to be alive. The US President is openly extorting the British national broadcaster for a year old documentary which used his own words but in editing missed a time lapse dash. An ex-PM is leading the pack with 🐸 Farage working as the attack dog. While the UK govt cowers in a corner.🤦
