I think Ange has earned the right to stay and I personally wouldn’t sack him. But if Levy does, then Frank is an extremely good appointment IMO.

That was magnificent. Best away performance in a long, long time. Really pleased for Ange - got the tactics bang on tonight.

I think we’re at the tipping point now where we’d be more likely to progress in Europe without Ange than we are with him.

The free pass the UK media is giving Le Pen for literally stealing millions of euros from taxpayers is in marked contrast to the relentless coverage of Labour ministers unwisely - but entirely legally - accepting freebies. It makes you wonder what they’re not telling us about our populist right.

There’s something joyously comic about Kemi Badenoch, a politician being radicalised on social media before our eyes, saying that Adolescence is not “the biggest thing that is happening in the world today” in terms of radicalisation on social media.
🚨 New entry into the Kemi Badenoch does not do her homework canon:
Adolescence's creators have denied the series is based on true events, contradicting a theory doing the rounds on X that suggested the main character was “race swapped”
Badenoch tells LBC the story was “fundamentally changed”

When discussing mental health it’s always important to push back against the tendency of some to ‘not really believe in it’.
Suicide continues to be the biggest cause of death for men under 50. If it wasn’t a thing that wouldn’t be the case.

Did you know that the Polish Tourism Organisation is one of the most prolific and committed supporters of GB News? This is what they're enabling:
GB News commentator falsely claims Ukraine war "was all down to NATO" - & wrongly implies there was previously a "signing" by NATO of an agreement not to admit new members "further east". Another suggests Zelensky "wanted more fighting".
If you advertise on GB News this is what you're enabling.

Europeans tend to zoom in on homicide stats when we rebut things like this, but the reality is even starker: in any given year, a working age American adult is *2.5x likelier to die* than an adult in western Europe. It's not just violence. Drugs, healthcare, and more are worse in the US.
