If you worked in the media & had helped sell austerity, Brexit, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Donald Trump & Nigel Farage to the British public then you too would be praying for hideous race riots (on someone else’s doorstep). It’s now the only way you can avoid looking in the mirror.

Just belatedly watched my colleague @BBCSteveR Steve Rosenberg’s tough questioning of Vladimir Putin at yesterday’s press conference. It’s not easy, and not always safe, to confront autocrats in this way. Thank you for your courage and steadfastness, Steve.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
