Where are all the "revoke Shamima Begum's citizenship she's a traitor people" today, I wonder.
Nathan Gill; A traitor who was at the very top of Reform UK, aiding and abetting Russian adversaries, has been sentenced today.

Reform UK should be ashamed. Britain deserves better.

@benkentish.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Hi Ben, I've switched on after Champions League highlights. The people of these islands - Irish, Scottish, English, Welsh, Manx, etc - are wonderfully creative in all of our diversity. I'm also proud of how the UK has backed Ukraine. And of generosity to charities.

Gray-haired man in civilian coat runs into flames at Kharkiv kindergarten hit by Russian drones y'day. Emerges with child—pink pants and slippers visible under his jacket. Goes back in.

2 journalists recognized him 👇

In shock news, Liz Truss's Stilton and Cheddar deal with Japan... actually led to a year on year decrease in Stilton and Cheddar exports to Japan.

Pleased to be part of this hugely significant legal challenge. The Boris Johnson Govt first suppressed the Russia report & then refused to act on it. As evidence mounts of Putin’s hybrid warfare, it’s vital that we can be confident in the robustness of our democratic systems

Farage’s new hire won’t help his Putin problem
He’s got a new senior advisor... who has some pretty awful views.

Katie Lam, the shadow home secretary saying legal migrants need to be deported (The Times) will be seen by many as the most racist comment we’ve heard in recent years. Why this isn’t headline news is scandalous. Which will translate to many as acceptance and agreement. Britain needs to get a grip.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Assuming Kemi Badenoch's story in the Amol Rajan interview is true, it's confirmed rather than altered or modified my view of her: I find her repellent and completely lacking in empathy.

Her farewell Tory leader's speech in Manchester this October will be hubris.

Former Tory MP Adam Holloway has defected to Reform. As someone who 'mistakenly' overclaimed £1,000 on expenses, defended an MP who sexually assaulted a 15 year old and tried to influence a judge over another MP charged with sexual assault, he should fit in perfectly.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Good morning James. The nine parties of the MPs who signed the letter: Alliance Party; Conservatives; Greens; Independent Group of MPs; Labour; Liberal Democrats; Plaid Cymru; SDLP; SNP.

That makes 9, anyway!

Word of the day is ‘swullocking’, from 19th-century East Anglian dialect: sultry, sweltering, and sudiferous (sweat-inducing).

So Reform is going to send a group inspired by DOGE into Kent council. A few questions:
Will it build a massive database with the private details of every Kent resident?
Will it sack all the bin men/women one day, try to get them back the next?
Will it hire ‘Big Balls’?
Who gets the daily Ketamine?

Donald Trump: “I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin, I’ve always got along with him but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people”

Figures from the Institute for the Study of War suggest those “rocket” strikes have only intensified since he returned to office.
