BREAKING: The Lib Dems 10-minute rule bill to rejoin the customs union has just passed!
After a 100-100 tie the deputy speaker followed convention and cast the deciding vote in favour.
It’s unlikely to get government time so probably won't progress - but indicates strength of feeling on this issue

I'm so tired of this "illegal immigration" label. Being a refugee is not illegal. You can only be described as that once your request for asylum has been reviewed according to international law and rejected. Britain still has far fewer asylum seekers than similarly large countries in Europe.
From Germany: "The UK wants to abolish the obligation to support asylum seekers that became EU law in 2005. UK had 84,200 asylum applications in 2024. From 2011 – 2020 (before Brexit) the average was 27,500 applications per year. By comparison, in Germany, 250,945 people applied for asylum in 2024."

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Sometimes, a front page can sum up quite a lot that’s wrong with the world. Including the paper itself which has been so complicit in getting us to a place where children born to refugees could be deported, Trump celebrates despotic wealth and Boris Johnson’s sister moans about not being rich. Ugh.

“Trump’s aim is to raise the cost of telling the truth about his attempt to overturn an election.”
So, naturally, Farage scuttled off to Washington to help him. As did his own propaganda outlet, GBnews… conducting its interview with Trump from a studio somewhere up his backside.

This is the reporter that Donald Trump called "Piggy." She is Catherine Lucey, currently with Bloomberg.
I don't think it is a coincidence that, back in 2018, Lucey was the first reporter to ask Trump about Stormy Daniels. Trump responded with a lie, but, clearly, did not forget the question.

With a falling birth rate and an ageing population we should welcome people who want to come to the UK. Scotland already does but has been blocked by Westminster.

Cognitive dissonance on full display.
Labour once avoided wrapping itself in flags, standing for solidarity beyond nationalism. Now every party seems to stage backdrops like something out of the 1930s — all symbols, no soul. When did politics become a competition in flag-waving rather than ideas?
